Dufflebird Farm - Peaceful Country Escape

Welcome to Dufflebird Farm—117 acres of green rolling hills, open skies and fresh country air, just two hours from Melbourne.

This peaceful farm stay blends the character of a charming three-bedroom homestead with thoughtful modern comforts, offering space to slow down, reconnect, and breathe. From every window, farmland and bush stretch into the distance. Watch the weather roll in over the gentle rolling hills that define the region. Soak in the deep quiet.

The space

Come and experience a new chapter from the Dufflebird team—trusted hosts with nearly two decades of experience creating beautiful stays across Victoria.

While new to our collection, this farm holds a special place in our hearts. It’s a place with family roots, and it carries the same quiet charm and thoughtful hosting our guests have come to expect across each of our stays.

Spring photo update coming Sept–Oct 2025.

The Property

Tucked down a quiet country lane, Dufflebird Farm is peaceful, private, and surrounded by beauty in every direction. Inside, the homestead is warm and welcoming, with high ceilings, big windows, and French doors that open out to wide verandas and a sunny entertaining deck. There’s plenty of space to gather, cook, and relax—with a well-equipped kitchen (complete with Falcon stove and walk-in pantry), comfy living area with a fire, and three bedrooms to sleep up to five guests.

Outside, you’ll find fruit trees, curious cows, a river to wander along, and a bath house made for long soaks with a view. Every window frames the kind of countryside that’s good for the soul.
