Farm life
The Red Barn is perfect for a relaxing break. A beautifully renovated barn full of fun antiques surrounded by a leafy garden. You’ll get to see farm animals, kangaroos and bird life while enjoying the gourmet offerings of the area. The hosts have done an amazing job on the barn renovation and are thoughtful hosts.

The Red Barn
The property was gorgeous, French Provincial at its best. Amenities top notch. We wished for more walkable cafes and a local restaurant but it is the middle of winter! The surrounding paddocks, animals and gardens are relaxing and serene.

Fabulous
Everything you could possible need or require has been thought of. Plus there is lovely antiques throughout the home, and reading material. Say yellow to the donkeys out through the back door, sheep, and ducks or bath in the outdoor hot tub whilst admiring the view! You can have it all. It is so relaxing. A large loft area and more. Lovely linen provided, extra blankets. Like I said, everything you can think of.
