Yarriambiance (noun), Yar-ri-am-bi-ance: "A feeling or mood associated with fresh air, open spaces, big skies, stunning sunsets, starry nights, open fires and the sounds of nature, on the banks of the Yarriambiack Creek" Do you want a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, the frustration of traffic congestion, from noise and pollution? Does open space, fresh air, and the peace and quiet of nature sound appealing? Well, come and experience the ‘Yarriambiance’ of our unique rural escape. It is not far off the main highway, but far enough that you will feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. You will experience dusty back roads, open plains and the starry skies of rural Australia, yet you will only be 20 minutes away from a bustling regional city (Horsham). Around the property there are many old historic farm buildings, including an original 'boundary riders' hut (circa 1870's). The Yarriambiack Creek is the western boundary of the property, and is a haven for birds and wildlife such as kangaroos & wallabies. Ancient river redgums run along the creek which provide for nice shady spots in summer. The creek relies on seasonal rainfall, and when running, is deep enough for swimming or paddling around in a kayak. When dry, the creek bed makes a fantastic walking track. If you are looking for a unique family holiday, or you are an artist and want to do some songwriting or painting, or just need to get out of the rat race and chill out, then this could be just the place for you. 10 mins to Murtoa, 15 mins to the Dooen Hotel, 20 mins to Horsham, 30 mins to Warracknabeal, 40 mins to the Grampians or Mt Arapilies. A perfect base to explore the renowned Silo Art Trail, Murtoa Stick Shed, local lakes and waterways, state and national parks, and many other regional attractions. But if you are simply into nature or hiking, then just head north or south along the creek, and you will be able to walk for hours and take in the unique scenery. Please note, the property is 'pet friendly' but we respectfully ask that pets are not taken inside of the accommodation.

"Mayfair V2.0" Tiny House

100%
(11)
Tiny home · Sleeps 2
Stay 2 nights, and for the price of a 5kg bag of carrots 🥕 🥕 (currently under $10) you can stay an extra night!! Refer to the 'Rules' section of the listing for further details..... Mayfair (v2.0) is named in honour of the original tiny house, built in the mid 1950’s by Syd and Ed Drendel (your host's father and uncle). They named it the ‘Mayfair’ after a swanky Melbourne hotel that they stayed in. It was a ‘portable hut’, which later became known as ‘Fishermans Hut’, and resided on the banks of Lake Albacutya and then Lake Hindmarsh, in north west Victoria. The Mayfair (v2.0) is a 21st century version of the original Mayfair It aims to make you feel as comfortable as possible, whilst remaining off-grid. A loft bed, gas hotplate, shower and wood burning heater are just some of the features that will make you feel at home. A flushing toilet with a porcelain bowl is provided for extra guest comfort. The holding tank contains a biological additive which is environmentally friendly and septic safe. This additive eliminates unpleasant smells, reduces gas build up and stimulates the breakdown of waste matter & toilet paper. Outside, you will have your own secluded area, including an irrigated turf area, a fire-pit and seats and bench tops carved out of some of the redgums that have come to ground. In the summer months, sit under the shade of the magnificent redgums and take in the sunset, or admire the full moon filtering through the branches above you. In the winter months, snuggle around the campfire and watch the flames flicker and dance as you contemplate the simple things in life, and possibly toast some marshmallows. Please note that the creek may be dry (it depends on seasonal rainfall), but there are many waterholes not far away that are worth exploring. When dry, the creek makes a great walking trail.  The predominant sounds will be those of the local birdlife, from early morning to early evening. And when the creek has water in it, the chorus sounds of frogs will fill the air every evening/night.

Greenhills Tavern

100%
(10)
Barn · Sleeps 5
Stay 2 nights, and for the price of a 5kg bag of carrots 🥕 🥕 (currently under $10) you can stay an extra night!! Refer to the 'Rules' section of the listing for further details..... The Greenhills Tavern started off it's life in the early 1900's and was used as a farm workshop. In the early 2000's, your host Paul decided that he was going to restore it into a workable shed for storage. It then became a 'mens shed'. Then it became a music studio. Finally it morphed into the "Greenhills Tavern", after 15 years of work. Part rustic shack, part log cabin, part retro hideway, it has been restored lovingly, using up-cycled material found from around the farm, and the local area. Some of the original bush posts still feature as supports in the living area. Pressed tin has been used for the fireplace surrounds, as well as featuring in the kitchen and bathroom areas. The main living area interior walls have been clad with the floor boards of an old barn. The ceiling has been clad with the original corrugated iron that came off the main homestead on the property. The living area comes complete with an open fireplace, kitchen, dining & bathroom facilities, as well as mod-cons like Wi-Fi, netflix & audio system. In the bedroom, exposed trusses feature from an old farm shed. The walls have been clad with split pine logs and used lining boards, while the ceiling is a natural timber finish. The exterior cladding of the bedroom is the original corrugated iron off the 'chaff' shed, which used to stand next door to the stable. Both buildings have been fully insulated, so they are cosy and warm in winter, and cool in summer, with split system air conditioning, gas heating and the open fireplace complimenting the temperature control of the rooms. The outdoor verandah area consists of a 4 burner BBQ, outdoor bar, (which used to be a counter out of a bank), a chiminea for those cold nights, and an irrigated grassed area with an outdoor setting sitting under a peppercorn tree.

"The International" Tiny House

100%
(9)
Tiny home · Sleeps 4
Stay 2 nights, and for the price of a 5kg bag of carrots 🥕 🥕 (currently under $10) you can stay an extra night!! Refer to the 'Rules' section of the listing for further details..... "The International" started it's life on a vegetable farm near Kyneton, (central Victoria) in 1971, and belonged to the Russo family. Affectionately named 'Janet' (after the spouse), she toiled tirelessly as a farm workhorse for many years. She was put out to pasture after some 40 years of labour, and rested in a paddock for several years.  A certified 'Jack of All Trades' by the name of Matt, came across 'Janet', and proceeded to convert her from a working truck, to a leisure truck. After four years of toil, "The International' Tiny House Truck was born. She made her final journey in December 2020 from central Victoria, to her current resting place in Jung, in the heart of the Wimmera. This tiny house has room for the whole family. A queen bed, complete with side tables and bookshelves sits atop the truck cab. A double bed mattress is located on the third level, and is a great spot for the kids, right up in the ceiling of the tiny house. The couch on the ground floor also converts to a sofa bed if required. ** Please note that the queen bed is fully made up, but if using the additional double bed or sofa bed, you would need to supply your own sleeping bags and pillows. ** Whilst technically not off-grid, 'The International' is powered by a mains power supply. This electricity is sourced from the farm power supply, of which there is a vast array of solar panels on shedding roofs around the property, which is either feeding back into the grid, or into the tiny house.   A full gas oven and hotplate, standard size fridge/freezer, flushing toilet, shower and wood burning pot belly stove are just some of the features that will make you feel at home. The flushing toilet with a porcelain bowl is provided for extra guest comfort. Outside, you will have your own deck area with an outdoor setting and unique pot belly firepit. The deck is an old farm trailer, which has been parked next to 'The International' to extend your living area to the outside.
