I did not want to leave. My parents had a wonderful time. Debbie and Graham were beautiful hosts. Thank you for taking Mum and Dad to your veggie patch and showing them around your beautiful property. They had a wonderful time. Breakfast was lovely too. Thanks again. Loved everything.

- Philip (10/5): Peace and tranquility guaranteed. - Unique property in a secluded part of Vic. An extremely quiet and relaxing location that leaves nothing extra needed for clients to enjoy. Great views fron "Lakeview"unit both night and day. Double glazed windows adds to the comfort Couldn't fault the accomodation and would highly recommend to other travellers. Just off the Great Alpine Road so would appeal to travellers using that route.
- Julianne (10/5): - Fantastic accommodation , Fantastic hosts , will definitely go back .......
- Peter (8/5): - Vegie garden and orchard.

- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful setting. Very nicely furnished with a magnificent bathroom.
- Robert (10/5): Amazing..... - We would have loved to have extended our stay. Down to Earth Farm Retreat has to be one of the most comfortable and equipped places we have ever stayed in. Highly recommended.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - You are treated to private quarters in their own home so you won't feel like you are staying in accomodation meant for travellers. Especially love the shower and their bed. They put your comfort foremost and it's these small details that makes all the difference. If you are one of those who enjoy being away from traffic noise and slowing down life's pace for awhile while on the road, this place is for you.
I never really know what to expect when I book an accomodation but with this one, you shouldn't worry. The pictures does the place no justice. We stayed there for 3 nights and can easily do more.
- TP (10/5): - This unique retreat is in a stunning, peaceful location and the apartment sized lakeside suite has the most incredible views. The rooms are super clean and spacious and allow you to enjoy the beautifull bush and wildlife on your doorstep. Debbie goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and I will definitely be back!
