Accommodation description
About this listing Watch our peaceful alpacas grazing around the paddock against a glorious backdrop of rolling Gippsland hills. In here, you will get a lovely feeling of being with the nature. There is only a few places like this where you can wake up in the morning to the singing of our local birds. Truly a magnificent place to stay! The farm is located on a 70 acre of pasture and forest. There are plenty of things to do here from a lovely long walks around our farm, to watching the feeding of the alpacas or help in collecting the eggs if you like. We have bees for our own honey, we bottle fruit from our fruit trees – apples, pears, peaches, plums. cherries, blackberries, blueberries, walnuts and Nashis when in season. Our alpacas birth their crias from mid-November to the end of January so you are bound to see some young ones running around. Shearing is in the month of November. You may message us to inquire about specific dates for shearing if you’d like to observe. Or why not spend some of your time all going on an alpaca walk. IMPORTANT NOTE: There is another accommodation for rent at this property. Please expect some company during your stay. The space Our tiny house is a lovely studio space of 155 sqft. It offers guests a comfortable stay with its well-equipped kitchenette, complete with a queen sized bed, ensuite bathroom, air-conditioning and heating. Perfect for 2 persons! The kitchenette has everything you need to cook your light meals with. A portable cooker, cookware, cooking utensils, cutlery, dishes & silverware, microwave and even a mini fridge. The portable cooker can be kept in the drawers when not in use to maximise space. Our bathroom facilities follow ecologically sustainable principles, including a waterless eco-friendly compost toilet, hand basin and shower (gas heated for hot showers). In Australia's severe climatic challenge of bush fires and drought, we help to save the environment by conserving water using an eco-friendly toilet. Wastes are broken down in the compost toilet via an aerobic decomposition process. It is a waterless system (no need to flush!), whereas a standard dual flush toilet would use up to 350L of water per week. An aeration fan helps in the decomposition process and minimises odours. If you're using your own soap, shampoo, tooth paste, we ask that you bring biodegradable ones so that the grey water runoff does not harm the environment. Thank you! Guest access Guests will have access to the tiny house and its surroundings. There are certain parts of our farm that are off limits but these change during the year. Guests will be made aware of this when you check in. Other things to note – You can book an alpaca experience. Our walks are at 9:30am every day or 2pm Sat and Sun only. Please let us know so that we can factor the time in with our farm chores – There is a bus service to Leongatha. Our land host can collect you from there and return you to Leongatha when your stay is finished. This would cost an additional $100 and can fit in 2 passengers comfortably
