Gorgeous peaceful walks and places to just sit.... and sit some more....a perennial mountain creek borders this working farm - 20-30 mins from many local cafes, restaurants pubs and wineries.

Indoor & outdoor eating areas including your own adjoining fire-pit (in winter) Peaceful gardens and granite boulders to reconnect yourself to nature. Pick something from our extensive vegetable garden, to go with your BBQ hamper (on request). Although our home is separated from you by a double car port and a small garden we endeavour to ensure your utmost privacy. ie. our living area is on the other side of the property from yours. Your hosts are available for local information and suggested walks - ask upon booking. We are a couple of "tree changers" so we have a complete understanding of the desire for privacy, solitude and silence if that's what you are seeking. Our guests' needs are always our top priority. The Strathbogie Ranges are one of the last largely undiscovered and immensely beautiful rural regions in the state of Victoria. An easy 2 hour drive north of Melbourne, the village of Ruffy sits on a tableland at the southern end of the ranges and is accessible by sealed roads. The local landscape is peppered with stunning granite boulders and pristine creeks & gullies. The region is a traditional farming district with a community of around 200 people. The air is fresh and the night skies are perfect for star-gazing as there is no light pollution. Birds abound and whilst we are sometimes reluctant to share our piece of paradise we can't be too greedy so come and visit....soon, before everyone else discovers it! Absolutely no public transport ....How wonderful....Food shops are half an hour drive away. We are on an all weather gravel road that is fine for 2WD vehicles and mountain bikes. 30 minutes to Alexandra, Euroa or Yea for shopping. Seymour is 40 minutes away. 40 minutes from the famous Violet Town Market (2nd Sat every month). Local shops are 30 mins drive away so please bring any necessities with you. Breakfast is included. We welcome babes in arms and we can provide a portable cot, however as this is a working farm with unfenced dams, creeks and electric fencing we cannot accommodate toddlers or older children. No Pets permitted.
