Welcome to our family and friends of our first listing - Book A Paddock, and to our new gang with The Stables on Knox. The Stables was a functioning stable, dairy and horse and cart garaging area in the properties heyday many decades ago. The cattle would be walked up a lane, be held in the cobblestone yards you have exclusive use of, be walked into the stalls, where your pizza oven now stands, manually milked, and then turned out to what is now your BBQ area. Its now your next luxe rural getaway. Leave the tent and van behind for this little slice of the good life. Bring your bestie - even your neighbours and your fur baby for a sit back and relax experience. The paddocks to the back of the property are yours to walk to take in the peace and the wildlife. They are abundant with kangaroos and their joeys in the spring so we ask you go quietly and slowly so they can move away slowly. The birdsong is a great way to relax with your book, listening to the sounds of nature.After we brought you the success of "Book A Paddock" last year - we now offer an accompanying upgrade, The Stables On Knox. 2 bedrooms of lux European linen by @inthesaclinen with 1 bathroom for your luxe 'camping' experience. "Roughing it" (pun intended) involves a full kitchen, fireplace, bath and shower with fluffy towels and robes, and local botanicals by @sabaorganics. Your own pizza oven and BBQ in the undercover Dairy in a rustic, private outdoor protected space for evenings in. With access to the cattle yards, paddocks and a stable for your horse overnight, riding or walking the 40 acres is all yours to explore with gentle undulations and a mini pine forest to scavenge. Further afield, Granite Hills Winery, Mount Macedon Winery and Lyons Will Estate are but 3 of the local vineyards for lunch / dinner or a tasting plate and sip. If you wish to stay in, @lancefieldprovidore will sort out extra fridge goodies and (contactless) delivery to the verandah.

We had a wonderful stay at The Stables on Knox! We came to take maternity photos and the property was perfect – beautiful scenery, a cute cozy house, and lots of photogenic spots inside and out. The fireplace made it extra relaxing too 😊 Some things to note: the BBQ and pizza oven in the barn were quite dirty so we didn’t use them, and the coffee machine was broken. Also, we were woken up early by a possum scratching on the roof – a true country experience, but something to keep in mind if you’re a light sleeper! Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely recommend it!

Amazing Country Getaway

This was such a cute spot! Gorgeous sheep were a huge hit ♥️ well stocked kitchen with lovely supplies. Very generous number of towels and the beds were so comfy. Lovely stay we are already talking about returning no bad notes at all!

We had an incredible stay here and I cannot recommend it enough. It’s one of my favourite places I have stayed this year, and I work in luxury travel :) The accomodation is beautiful, high end, luxury and included great amenities such as organic beauty products, a delicious breakfast hamper, nice towels and linens, laundry facilities, fully stocked kitchen, pizza oven, books, blankets, etc. My kids loved the friendly sheep and feeding the horses carrots. It was incredibly cosy and comfortable, and my only complaint was I wish we could have stayed longer than two nights!

Luxe Getaway 🐶

A perfect getaway with all the amenities I could as for. Belinda is a great host, and provided a breakfast hamper with eggs, jam, bread, berries, mushrooms, bacon. The pizza oven and bbq area were perfect for dinner dates. It’s only about 10 minutes from the hanging rock. So close to everything! Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time at the Stables on Knox! Belinda and Robert were the most generous and accommodating hosts. The outdoor bath was a highlight. We could not recommend this place more!

Group trip

Beautiful spot for a weekend away! The house is lovely, and we enjoyed all the goodies left for us. Felt like a spa weekend with the bathrobes. Enjoyed exploring nearby Camel’s Hump and Mount Monument winery.

Perfect Countryside Escape

Just the countryside escape we needed! The Stables is a beautiful farm house on an countryside estate. As you walk through the front door, the main living areas look like they were out of the magazine pages - incredibly beautiful! The kitchen was well appointed with all the tableware & appliances you need. Even the pantry and fridge was stocked with some groceries so we could make a beautiful farmhouse breakfast. Great hospitality & really well thought out by Joanne. We made use of the pizza oven located in the old stables. Wish we had stayed longer. Will definitely return.

Don't miss this incredible spot!

Group trip

We loved our stay at Stables on Knox! The property was beautiful with all the little details thought out. We loved relaxing by the indoor fire, cooking up a storm in the kitchen and had an incredible night's sleep in the comfy beds! We didn't get to use it because it was a bit cold during our visit, but there was even an outdoor bath - it would be great in warmer weather. Jo was a wonderful host and available for any questions we had. Thank you Jo for a wonderful stay!

A Beautiful Stay

The perfect getaway; only an hour out of the city, sitting at the foothills of the Macedon Ranges, The Stables has everything you could need for a cosy escape. Two generous sized bedrooms with luxurious, colour coordinated bed linens, a beautifully designed kitchen fully stocked with all of the essentials, a giant kitchen table, perfect for sharing a meal or playing a game of cards around and for those chilly nights, a fireplace and a stack of wood. Jo has thought of everything and her personal touches make it feel like home! There’s an awesome undercover outdoor area in the old dairy shed which has an electric pizza oven, which is a really unique touch, and produces top notch pizzas! There are also four friendly chickens on the property that supply fresh eggs for brekky! The most incredible part of the property though has to be the scenery, rolling hills, with hay grass that sways in the wind, and the boundary lined with pine trees the size of skyscrapers. The view is spectacular! If you’re looking for a night away in the country, this is it! I would go back in a heartbeat! Jo and Mike’s hospitality was lovely, they were there for whatever we needed, showed us around and made us feel right at home... and they have a very cute Samoyed named Suto!
