About this property

Yoho House - a luxurious farm house set in nature

Yoho House is a luxurious and secluded farm house surrounded by spring fed creeks at Delamere; an hour and half from Adelaide along the Fleurieu Peninsula.

We love our holidays at Yoho House; we have picnics under the old Elm tree, meander through the pine forest, read on the couch, swim at Second Valley Beach and the kids play in the creeks. The cooler months are spent collecting mushrooms, racing leaf boats and by the fire reading and drinking wine.

***Please note our rates are based on two guests, a charge of $50 per person, per night applies for any additional guests. This will be calculated when you add your guest numbers. If only two adult guests (including infants) are staying at Yoho House the additional two rooms with be locked. Therefore please note we only make available the number of bedrooms that correspond with the number of guests staying at Yoho House. If you would like an additional room during your stay please let us know and it is an extra $100 per room to cover our linen costs.

For example:
2 adult guests = one bedroom (Main bedroom)
3 guests = 2 bedrooms
4 guests = 2 bedrooms
5 guests = 3 bedrooms
6 guests = 3 bedrooms

Inside Yoho House we have created the perfect space to feel inspired, relaxed and for you to reconnect with yourself, your loved ones and nature.

The master bedroom offers a queen size bed with sumptuously soft linen, blankets and gorgeous views of the creeks and trees. The bathroom has a large shower along with a deep bath where you can soak the hours away while listening to the babbling creek and birds outside. Yoho House has a fully equipped kitchen so if you don’t feel like leaving (and you probably won’t), feel free to whip up a master piece to share with your loved ones. There are books to read, games to play and cozy nooks to just sit and ponder.

Outside, there’s a small deck to sit, have a cuppa and watch the native birds dance by. Or if the weather is warm sit on the grass, or on the outdoor setting and watch the sun filter through the elm leaves. Star gazing is a must on a clear night so get your wishes ready for the shooting stars. Take a walk along the creek and meditate by one of the many mini waterfalls, or walk up the path to our historic 1800’s cottage and say hello to our ‘Teddy Bears’; our Belted Galloway cows and their matriarch, our friendly cow Betsy the Fresian.

We’ve thought of everything so you can just take a deep breathe, relax, re-charge and make many memories.

Yoho House is an ideal getaway for two, however it can accommodate up to six people at an additional cost (with three separate bedrooms with queen size beds).

Other things to note:

There is no TV at Yoho House. Feel free to gaze at the windows, wander outside or read a book on the couch. If you would like to watch a movie or a show, or need some quiet time for your kids please pack your own iPad or laptop.

We have no mains water at Yoho House and rely solely on filtered rain water so please take care and use responsibly.

Please note there are two creeks that surround Yoho House and some sections can be deep and the rocks slippery so please be careful, especially with little ones.

Children are welcome at Yoho House and upon request we can provide a travel cot (please bring your own linen for the cot) and high chair. The house is not baby proofed but we trust parents judgment in regard to this.

Yoho House is situated on a working farm with livestock so please don’t approach or try to feed the livestock and always close any gates you open.

Yoho House is not suitable for pets due to the delicate nature of its furnishings and due to the livestock on the farm.

We stock a basic pantry, which includes; instant coffee, ground coffee, Nespresso coffee pods, black and herbal teas, salt, pepper, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, biscuits, sugar, granola and milk. Please pop into a shop for your extra supplies. Guests find it hard to leave once they arrive, so we recommend you stop for supplies in Yankalilla or Normanville. There’s also a small general store at Delamere.

We have an enhanced cleaning routine and we’re taking extra care to disinfect frequently touched surfaces between reservations. We also have a Covid-19 Safety Plan and our guest and team safety is our top priority.

The house and gardens are all yours to explore so we welcome you to wander around, pick some lavender or herbs for dinner and water the plants if they need some love.

Please note we have security cameras at the front and rear of Yoho House for the safety of our guests and security of the property.

Onsite parking is available at Yoho House. Please feel free to park your car, boat or caravan anywhere on the gravel section.

Photo and location shoots are at an additional cost and by prior arrangement.

As we do not live close by we are hands off hosts, however we are confident you will have everything you need to enjoy your stay. However, if you need to get in contact with us please just message us on Stayz or on the available mobile number.

About the host

Hosted by Laurise Pretty-Lorefice

Host profile image
We are a family of four, including two young boys. We love history, animals and being in nature and found the perfect place for all that at Yoho Farm. Yoho Farm and House are very special to us. We spent most weekends and holidays here pottering around, exploring the creeks, listening to the birds, walking in the Pine Forest, meditating, cooking, reading, connecting and gardening. We love the farm dearly and are always sad to leave, however it gives us great joy to share it with treasured guests who can enjoy it when we can’t. As we do not live close by we are hands off hosts, however we are confident you will have everything you need to enjoy your stay. However, if you need to get in contact with us please just message or call us on the available mobile number.

Why they chose this property

Delamere - blink and you may miss it and that’s why we love it. This small country town with just a general store is quiet, secluded, private, stunningly beautiful and the perfect spot to getaway and unwind from the hustle and bustle of every day life. It’s also only minutes from the beautiful beaches of Rapid Bay, Second Valley & Cape Jervis. Deep Creek is nearby, where you can hike through gorgeous forests and stand next to some of the oldest trees in SA. Normanville and Rapid are also only a short drive away.

What makes this property unique

Yoho House is a farm house that we have spent that last couple of years lovingly renovating and restoring. The House is located on an 80 acre farm, where we run Belted Galloway cattle and also sheep. The first thing that drew us to Yoho House was the two creeks that run in the backyard. We visited the farm in Summer & we couldn’t believe there was plenty of water flowing. The creeks are spring fed and run all year round. We spend most of our time by the creeks when we visit the farm. Our boys play in the creeks; racing leaf boats down the water, we meditate, read, picnic, play quoits, pick blackberries and figs, have a cuppa and our fire pit is right near the creeks so you can toast marshmallows while listening to the water flowing by.
