About this property

Ironbarks - Self Catered Farmstay

Set on 100 acres, this modern farmhouse offers:
x All linen provided
x Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine, electric oven and gas stove etc
x Comfortable and stylish living/ dining area with stunning bush views for great indoor entertaining
x A crackling log fire in a freestanding wood heater
x Two fabulous outdoor entertaining areas with BBQ facilities.
x Four bedrooms (three queens and a twin), all with lovely views: perfect for sound sleep or that indulgent afternoon doze
x Two bathrooms with showers; one has a claw foot bath
x Reverse cycle air conditioning (heat pump)
x Heaters in all bedrooms and main bathroom
x Stereo (Bring your favourite CDs) and TV

The main reason people come to Ironbarks is to do nothing other than relax... Reading books by the fire, going for walks in the native bush, practicing your golf, chasing Kangaroos (good luck!), or spotting birds.

Ironbarks is a quiet place. The sort of place you come to if you want to have some time to yourself, either alone or as a group.

Relax on one of the decks and choose from a number of beautiful views; the glimmer of Mt Tarrangower over the farmland in the distance, or the Australian native bush that surrounds the property. Perhaps you will be enjoying a bottle of local wine that you picked up at a winery visit, or contemplating a day spent in a nearby town.

You may like to take a walk to one of the dams, and try your hand at yabbying, or just watch the animals and birds whose home we share. Early risers are especially well rewarded if they get out for an early morning walk. You can finish off a perfect day by dining under the stars.







There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment. The bathroom has a bathtub and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
This smoke-free farm stay features a stereo, books, and a playground. Amenities include games, a video library, and a music library.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Home comforts in the most peaceful bush setting
We stayed a week over Easter and had the most relaxing, amazing time. The bedrooms/beds are very comfortable, there is heating and cooling, in and outdoor fire place, large cosy house. The kitchen is very generously stocked with everything you may need for cooking and to serve it on. We saw Kangaroos near the house every day, there is so much space to walk or ride your bikes. I can only recommend this place and the communication with the owners was very easy. We hope to be back. :)

Comfortable Country Cottage
Beaut farmhouse with lots of room to spread out. Really appreciated the air conditioning in each bedroom and the comfy beds. Great spot to explore the natural environment and see local wildlife. Extra special to be able to pick and eat the tomatoes, grapes and strawberries straight from the plants. The hammock on the deck was a great hit as well.

Amazingly restful break, felt like we were 1000 miles from everything but in reality, so close to everything. Large farmhouse, spotlessly clean and welcoming to furry friends. Owners were so responsive and made booking easy. Lovely warm log fire already crackling away on arrival, thanks to our wonderful hosts and everything you could possibly need was at hand. Spectacular area, backing onto state forest. If you are after a break where you can just chill or a base for more local adventures Ironbarks has it in all.

A wonderful location with a well equipped house, which provided four adults the space and comfort for an enjoyable week long stay. A great base to explore the Goldfields area. Hopefully, next time we visit the weather will be more conducive to enjoying the great outside entertaining areas. Thank you.

We had a wonderfully relaxing and comfortable weekend at Ironbarks, we all want to book in again for a week next time - there's so much to explore in the area, and more time to relax and enjoy the tranquil bush surrounds and house. Thanks for a great mini-break!

Bliss in the Victorian bush
What a fantastic, well set up and cared for, property. The house is huge with lots of space in most rooms. It has everything you could possibly want - pantry items, kitchen appliances (coffee machine!), books, information, torches, binoculars, laundry, two toilets and showers, a fabulous bath, plenty of windows to watch the wildlife and absolute privacy. Two large verandahs made packing and unpacking the car a breeze whether raining or not, and they're great spot to relax of course. Other highlights include creeks/dams full of frogs, swallows and blue wrens nesting just outside, lots of space to walk in any direction and plenty of tracks through the surrounding forest. We loved all the historical towns and sites, prospecting options, national parks, beautiful scenery in the neighbourhood and further afield. Melville Caves was fabulous. There's also larger towns not far away. On top of that, we were allowed to have our greyhound inside with us and we were looked after really well when the bad weather and flooding hit the area. We can't recommend this place highly enough. Wish we could have stayed longer than 9 days.

Dream bush getaway
What a magical spot. This is a quintessential Australian bush experience. We went for walks around the area and sat by the fire at night. I booked the night for a birthday getaway and they even left me a delicious cup cake with a candle in it. I couldn't have had a better night. I'm definitely keen to stay longer next time

Peaceful and Serene bush retreat
The peace and serenity was just what we needed to recharge. We found it hard to leave, and could have done with at a few more nights. We enjoyed exploring, quietly watching the kangaroos and listening to the sounds of the bush. The hosts have provided everything you need to be self-sufficient. We were comfortable and felt very relaxed. Sitting by the warm fire was very relaxing after a day spent exploring the beautiful landscape. We are looking forward to staying again... for a week next time.

Serene bush retreat
Truly in the middle of nowhere, no other dwellings to be seen, a mob of kangaroos grazing in view of the living room window at sundown on arrival day. Our group of friends found what we were looking for. Total quiet in a comfortable house with a fire place and excellent creature comforts as well as a very well equipped kitchen. It was lovely to walk into a warm house as the hosts had made sure a heater was on as we arrived. The fire was set ready to be lit. If you’re like us, just needing a bit of timeout with friends, you won’t want to leave again. Forget plans to go exploring beyond the gates. So make sure you bring all the provisions for your stay so you can stay put … Thanks very much to the hosts from all of us. Cheers Silke

Ironbarks was perfect for our group which consisted of two families. The property was clean and well stocked. The beds were comfortable and the living spaces were roomy, we never felt on top of each other. The kids had a great time riding their bikes around the property. Great place to slow down and relax.

We hadn't had even one day off in over three years, let alone a holiday, so were thrilled to find a property that allowed us to bring our furkids too. I think they loved the holiday best of all! They swam every night in the dam and loved exploring. The house was spotlessly clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The hammock was my favourite spot! Nici was wonderful to deal with. We can't wait to come back.
