Down to Earth Farm Retreat - The Burrow

Set on a private and peaceful 130 acre property just 10 minutes from the town of Bairnsdale, the Burrow has been built underground. The roof is a garden. The Burrow is light and airy and naturally well insulated. The floor to ceiling windows allow guests to view the natural environment and enjoy the night sky. The Burrow provides an opportunity to experience unique, eco-friendly earth-sheltered living and guests may walk on the property to see farm animals and native wildlife. This truly stunning Lakes and Wilderness region offers rivers, lakes and the ocean environments in addition to farmland and forests. From this location, visitors can explore all of this and more, including the high country of Omeo and beyond, the caves at Buchan and National Parks. Exploration and activity can be mixed with relaxation. Take some time to enjoy the best coffee shops, wineries, the micro-brewery and restaurants. There is no better place to see native birds and animals in their natural environment. This is a wonderful place for staying for a night if travelling between Sydney and Melbourne but in general, guests staying for one night are disappointed that they did not stay longer. Guests are free to walk the entire property and have large private outdoor spaces to enjoy both the day and night views. We are available at all times to share our knowledge of this wonderful area, provide travel advice and help guests in any way. This area offers bushland, rivers, lakes and the ocean. It is easy to see native animals in the wild and is a very safe place to stay.
