PET FRIENDLY COSY COTTAGE
Farm Stay near Benalla
Located in the picturesque and highly sought after Warrenbayne District near Benalla, this beautiful solar powered farm stay offers a fully self contained 1 bedroom private cottage. Surrounded by stunning mountain views, wildlife, birds and less than 300 meters from the Strathbogie Ranges state park. We are located on a quiet no through road and surrounded by larger farms and wildlife, Warrenbayne Cottage is the ideal farm stay escape for peace, quiet and relaxation.
Warrenbayne Cottage is a privately set renovated one bedroom cottage. There are two separate entry gates and a huge linked driveway with plenty of parking for trailers and cars. The top gate next to the letterbox is the entry for the cottage. It is separate and private from the main farm house residence, which the owner resides in.
The top entry gate, located next to our miniature 'tin house' letterbox is the access gate for peaceful Warrenbayne Cottage. Usually I will leave this gate open for you. Just close it behind you if you have your dogs with you. Drive through this gate and follow the driveway around to the left, behind the big brick stables and you will see the cottage. Park where ever you like.
The house yard is fully fenced and dogs are welcome to enjoy a holiday with their humans, please note very small dogs can go under the farm gates. The bottom of the property has a large dam for dog swimming and playing, plus extensive bush trails for walking, mountain/motor biking or trail riding.
We have horses, cows, sheep and Reba the alpaca grazing on the property too. Reba absolutely loves little children and will come sit down next to the fence so the child can pat her. If you really would like to meet the sheep, cows, alpaca or horses, please let me know and I can put them in the paddock behind the cottage.
We are 300 meters from the Strathbogie Ranges which is renowned for hiking, trail riding, 4x4ing and peaceful exploring. As we are on a no through road Warrenbayne Cottage is a very quiet and peaceful slice of paradise in Victoria's stunning north east. We are also eco-friendly using solar power and tank water.
For those keen to enjoy motorsport at Winton Raceway we have undercover parking for special vehicles, please mention this when you book in. We are less than 30 minutes to Lake Nillacootie for fishing, and water skiing, plus were only an 1 hour from the mighty Murray River. We are approximately 90 minutes from the ski fields via Mansfield.
As we are in a regional area, only phones on the Telstra network will work in the area. We provide free mobile wifi in the cottage.
** Please note we are 25 minutes from the closest supermarket in Benalla (Aldi, Woolies, Coles) It may be worthwhile to collect your supplies on the way to the cottage. Then you can relax when you get there and not have to go back out. We always keep UHT milk in the fridge, plus extra pantry basic supplies. There's an esky on the back porch, next to the 6 burner BBQ, the esky is shaped like an old fashioned rainwater tank. Please BYO bag of ice. The cottage fridge is full sized and has a freezer with ice blocks, but not enough to fill an esky.
