Top 5% Home — Central Retreat close to Amenities
I stayed at Hugh’s place and it was one of the best experiences I’ve had! The house was extremely clean, well-organized, and had absolutely everything we needed—from kitchen essentials to all the comfort details in every room. It truly felt like home. Hugh was respectful and very helpful. Huge thanks to him for the amazing hospitality—I highly recommend his place to anyone looking for a comfortable and perfect stay! Mirna 👍👍👍

House on the Hill
A very comfortable stay in a location that suited our family group. Spectacular views and peaceful location.Clear communication throughout the process.

Bushland Getaway
This house is everything we hoped it would be, a relaxed and comfortable escape from the city without having to go far. The hosts are incredibly contactable and Andrew was really friendly when he showed us through the house. The views from the house through the tree tops is beautiful, while the well stocked wood pile kept us warm while we stayed. The bedrooms were a great size and the bathrooms nice and clean. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking over a few days stay. We loved it and would definitely return!

Trudy’s place is incredible for a getaway! The place was as described and superseded our expectations. It was very homey, yet sleek and clean. Trudy was also very accomodating and easy to communicate with! Would absolutely come again, and the alpacas were an amazing touch to the experience.

Alkira Vale Shouse
My family and I had a wonderful stay at Helen's & Michael's farm, in a beautiful location. They were good with communication, directions were clear and they were helpful with information around the area and with any concerns with the property; lovely to chat with them. It was a delight to interact with the horses, dogs and cat and we enjoyed walking around the property and admiring the views. Nice place to relax, slow down & recharge. We just loved sitting on the patio, looking at the animals and surrounds. The accommodation was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. It was great to unwind in the massage chair at the end of the day.

Farm in the field
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing stay at this beautiful farm! The accommodation was not only stunning but also incredibly comfortable and thoughtfully designed. The peaceful surroundings and charming rural setting made for the perfect escape. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to relax and unwind in nature!
Your guide to Whittlesea
All About Whittlesea
Located an hour north of Melbourne, Whittlesea is the largest suburb of Victoria’s capital, stretching out into the countryside and beyond to the mountains. The wider area of Whittlesea is primarily rural, earning it a reputation for straddling the divide between city living and the great outdoors. It’s also what makes the area so attractive to weekend visitors from Melbourne.
Home to wild reserves like the Toorourrong Reservoir Park, Whittlesea occupies a large part of the Plenty Valley, where the landscape is dotted with charming local markets, craft producers, and interesting historical buildings. Beyond the valley, the terrain rises up through fields and forest, culminating at Mount Disappointment. Anything but disappointing, Mount Disappointment State Forest is a haven for wildlife where you can enjoy everything from bushwalking and trail biking to horse riding and four-wheel driving.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Whittlesea
Whittlesea’s climate stays fairly temperate all year round, avoiding the hot and cold extremes that other areas of the country can experience. Regardless of the season, the area is known for being a little more prone to changeable weather, so it’s worth packing with that in mind. The annual Whittlesea Show in November is an agricultural event that serves up family fun in the form of dancing, music, arts and crafts, and vintage displays. Seek out the city’s annual carol concert if you visit during the Christmas period. For entertainment in winter, it’s a good idea to book your Whittlesea accommodation over one of the city’s Winter Weekends, when the streets are filled with performers and live music, and there are craft sessions for children.

Yan Yean Reservoir
