Country quietness
This is a great property just outside Bendigo in the middle of the country. Its very quiet but not too far from places to eat and things to do. House was very clean and they even had the fire going for us when we arrived. Very comfortable indeed!

fantastic property
Awesome. The fire pit and marshmallows were set up ready to go on the 1st night, kids loved it. Saturday Farmer Roger took the kids (and us) around the farm in the tractor trailer to see all the lambs, and the kids fed a baby lamb. Kids explored and spend the whole weekend outside!!!! House and property is excellent. We will be back.

Beautiful old homestead that gave great views of the sunset. Comfy and homely, with great spaces to relax and unwind. Bedding was clean and comfortable (great pillows). The host was incredibly helpful and even booked a table for us at the local pub for a great meal. Would stay again.

Country Fun
This farmhouse was excellent for our group of 2 adults and 6 children. A complimentary continental breakfast with lovely fresh bread was left for us. Roger the farm owner took us all on a tour of the farm, the children were able to hold 2 day old lambs which they adored, they could also witness the very friendly dogs rounding up the sheep. The property is situated an easy 30 mins from Echuca,for further exploration. The children ,and nanna and grandpa,really enjoyed their country escape.

Thanks so very much for your wonderful hospitality. We love coming up to Elmore for our annual softball trips. Roger and Dianne are terrific to deal with and we love the fire out the back. Hoping to be back again next year over the long weekend.

A welcome break from the city!
Pepperton Farm was a peaceful haven for our getaway over Easter. We enjoyed being surrounded by fields and animals, with plenty of space for the kids to roam and explore. A highlight was getting to feed and hold the new lambs - thanks again Roger! Lots to enjoy in Echuca and Bendigo, both a 30 min drive, when we wanted some activity. Heathcote also not far for those who live their wine. Also a real treat to have bed linen and towels provided!

Great.
Property was comfortable, cosy, homely with serene surroundings. It is close to places of historical significance. Roger and Di were easy to contact and Roger paid us a visit to check that all was well. They even had that Air Con on for when we arrived. Consider booking Pepperton Homestead for your next trip. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Lil

Beautiful
We loved our stay here, would love to go back sometime. Peaceful, relaxing and friendly. Great for our little family of 3 but you could stay with a whole bunch of kids and they would enjoy. Far away enough for privacy but close enough to drive out for things to do and see eg. Echuca and Bendigo. Thanks for the wine too!
