There's no unwinding like the type you get at Rivendell Farm Estate. Located in the idyllic countryside of the Tambo Upper farmlands (25 minutes' drive from Bairnsdale), sits Rivendell Farm Estate. This unique property rests on acres and acres of sweeping hills and a patchwork of fields, taking in views across the graceful Tambo River. It's a world away, less than 4 hours away from Melbourne.

The 1800s homestead is the property's centrepiece, surrounded by manicured gardens, orchards, truffle trees, and charming farm animals, including highland cows and a peacock named Blueberry

Farm stay accommodation

It's hard to top the accommodation in terms of uniqueness - guests stay in a converted water tank. The 1-bedroom accommodation has been immaculately converted with polished concrete floors and private bathroom.

All the finer touches are in place in the kitchen and you'll be pampered with luxe bedding and Salus toiletries. There's a fireplace to snuggle up next to, and a cedar hot tub outdoors, perfect for taking in the views.

As if the panoramic views of lush, bucolic countryside weren't enough, the grounds here are immaculate. Amble through manicured gardens, an expansive orchard, veggie gardens and even a truffle tree plantation.

Roving around the property you'll find chickens with character, and adorable sheep, alpacas and miniature donkeys. Perhaps first place in the farm animals' pageant goes to the seductive highland cows who'll munch on bread straight from your hands. Keep an eye out for the beautiful resident peacock named Blueberry.
