Yarra Valley Bauernhaus | Alpakas, Feuerstelle, Raumkapsel

This farmhouse sits on a quiet stretch of Lower Homestead Road in Wonga Park, directly opposite Heritage Golf & Country Club and moments from Mt Lofty Park. It's countryside calm with city convenience: the Yarra Valley wine trail is right around the corner, and Melbourne CBD is only 35 km away.
The house is modern farmhouse through and through: clean lines, warm timber, natural light, and the kind of effortless comfort that makes you want to cancel your checkout alarm.

Sleeping Arrangements (Sleeps up to 22)
Main House: 4 bedrooms, sleeps 8. Three queen/king bedrooms + one twin room (two singles that can be joined into a king). Spacious, well-appointed rooms with quality bedding.

Sunroom — Bunk-bed setup, sleeps 10. A bright, communal space perfect for kids, teens, or groups who want that camp-style energy.
