About the host

Hosted by Andrew Weekes

Host profile image
Live on 40 acres myself outside Melbourne and love the outdoor life to balance my corporate job.

Why they chose this property

Love travelling into the countryside, and this area is uniquely Australia. It is under 2 hours from Melbourne (135km), on the way to the snowfields, close to Lake Eildon. You can travel through the beautiful Yarra Valley winery area to get there, and once you are there you feel like you have escaped from the hustle and bustle of city life. Just a perfect place to relax and explore.

Wanted a place that larger groups could enjoy, whether they are family reunions, large group of friends, or during the week corporate retreats.

What makes this property unique

Borders the Great Victorian Rail Trail offering direct access from property to apron 150km of riding. Private as only rent to 1 group at a time, and no nearby neighbours to disturb. Extremely large and takes large groups with comfort.
