Great place
Loved the location. We stayed in 3br cottage, that had everything we needed and more. It was so peaceful. Great little walking track to the creek, where the owners have set up a table and chairs where you could sit and have drinks. The alpacas are an added bonus also. Greg, the owner was most helpful and nothing was a bother. Would highly recommend staying here.

Only one word to describe our stay at Valley Farm, Amazing ! We really enjoyed our stay here, it was close enough to Healesville to have access to meet our needs yet still far enough to enjoy the beautiful country side. The accommodation was great and communication from host Greg was spot on, hopefully we get a chance to visit and stay there again.

Warm, friendly host
It was a positive experience! Friendly and warm host made it felt like home. It was rather cold and thankfully there were electric blankets! The road after 5pm is dark and easy to get lost if not familiar. Google map not working all the time. The place was huge, could easily stayed up to 6 people. Saw the review that the animals would pop by the house, was looking forward to it but it's actually a distance away. I guess depends on which house you are staying at.

Thanks for your words CT, glad is was a positive experience and you're welcome back anytime. Sorry you missed the main entrance, there is a large 3m sign which is angled directly in front of oncoming headlights. We also email all guests detailed directions. Regarding the alpacas, they do surround all cottages but sometimes they do need to source feed in other areas of the paddock.

A wonderful property
What a breath of fresh air to be greeted and looked after by very lovely owners. They bent over backwards to accommodate us and their customer service was beautiful. We stayed in the 3 bedroom cottages. The cottages are gorgeous sitting on the deck surrounded by grape vines was special. I loved walking around your beautiful property even though I have a fear of alpacas lol they where beautiful 😣. We wished we had more time to spend walking and site seeing. Make sure you taste the wine and take home a few bottles of the Syrah 👌👌👌👌. I really didn't want to put a negative because the stay was made so perfect by the owners and we loved everything except for the beds and blinds 🙊. squeaky and hard mattresses and the blinds wouldn't close so the room was very bright. The linen was beautiful quality. We will be back and recommend valley farm to our family...please please change the beds and mattresses. With that aside thank you for such a lovely stay and bending over backwards to make our trip the best.

Great getaway near town and wineries
Nice and quiet place near Healesville. Situated on a small farm/vineyard it was a great spot for a getaway with the misses. All the wineries, and other regional attractions, were a short drive away. The room was spacious, had a nice living/kitchen areas, and had a great shower. The Alpacas were my favourite part, coming up to the windows in the morning! My only criticism was the bed was squeaky. Would definitely stay again!
