Amazing little cottage style home all to ourselves. Beautifully furnished and homely. Doug and Julie have gone above and beyond to provide a very comfortable and welcoming stay and made even more perfect with little things such as homemade bread, homemade jams, fresh milk and orange juice. 10/10 stay and will absolutely come back and also recommend to all our friends and family.

Strathmore in the rain- warm and inviting!
Strathmore was a great spot to stay for 2 nights. Julie was a very friendly hostess and her property goes beyond being just “ nice” to outstanding- lots of personal touches.

Captivating surrounds, every comfort & delightful hosts
I just loved my stay at the cottage, serenity and comfort combined! So many perfect moments here! Sitting on the terrace in the morning sun, eating fresh baked bread and jam from my charming hosts. Lying in the grass amongst the fruit trees, surrounded by singing birds and butterflies. Watching Netflix on the comfy couch with a throw rug for extra comfort... Doug and Julie have really thought of everything and I would highly recommend a stay with them.

Relaxing, peaceful getaway
We loved our stay in Jan 2020. Doug & Julie are welcoming and very friendly hosts. They made it possible for us to relax and enjoy our stay, providing fresh homemade breakfast, privacy, and helpful tips on local places to eat/visit. The cottage is lovely and clean, with good quality linens etc...and really comfy couches & beds. We were able to wander round the gardens, meet some animals, and enjoyed the quiet farm atmosphere. Thanks very much Julie & Doug for your hospitality and a great holiday!

Gorgeous cosy bnb in beautiful surrounds
Doug and Julie have a beautiful set up, right near town on 25 acres of lush countryside, rolling hills and beautiful views. The accommodation was perfect, with fresh homemade bread and jam, tea and coffee, fresh milk and orange juice. The heater was on when we arrived so it was beautiful and warm. The town is lovely, a really great brewery in lovely surrounds. Highly recommend.

Peaceful quiet farm in a beautiful farm with amazing hosts😊
The location and amenities are perfect. Dough and Julie are kind, helpful and flexible hosts we could ever get. It was a very warm welcome to their B&B and there was a welcome board with our name on it. Such a picturesque area the Strathmore Farm is, you would feel relaxing as soon as you enter the property. The cottage has everything you need for a perfect stay. Super clean and well organised facility. Yummy homemade breakfast and we loved variety of jam and juice especially. We had all the freedom to roam around the farm and our kids had a great time outdoor and they thoroughly enjoyed. Short distance to the look outs and other attractions. Dough and Julie were exceptionally helpful when our car broke down at Toora. Dough travelled all the way from his farm to us at night to pick us which we would never forget. He dropped us to the railway station the following day to get to Melbourne as our car was still with mechanic. Such beautiful souls they are, even picked us from the railway station and drove to the mechanic when we went to get the car back after a week from Melbourne. The time and effort they took to assist us is amazing and selfless. They even kept our luggage’s safe at the farm as we couldn’t take everything by train after our stay. Overall, you will never be disappointed but overwhelmed with a comfortable stay because both the farm and hosts are simply superb and beautiful. Enough cattles, chicken , sheeps and 3 cute cats to play with and wonderful trees and flowering plants around, can’t expect anything more than this. Soon will be going back to experience the amazing stay again. Thank you so much Rejeesh Manuja Divit and Diya😍

Comfortable and Clean Cottage
We had a wedding to attend in Mirboo North and needed a two bedroom cottage. Accurate description on line, great communication from the owners, and accomodated our early checkin to suit the wedding time. Very modern facilities, nice breakfast, and warm comfortable beds, great.
