Rae & Ian Fairweather
We can accommodate up to 5 people in a fully self contained unit on 25 acres of lush rolling hills and bush. The property has an abundance of wildlife, including our resident emus and native birds. On a quiet road, it is very private with a stunning outlook over the water catchment and to the bush beyond. The unit has a large open plan living/dining room with split system heating/cooling, as well as a brand new kitchen with stove and microwave oven. Ideally located for visits to Ballarat and surrounds, as well as day trips to Daylesford, Geelong and the Great Ocean Road.
