We arrived into Pennyroyal farm early evening after a busy day on the road. Such a lovely and relaxing place to stay. There was everything we could need there and found it hard to pack up in the morning and get back on the road. Would recommend staying a few nights to chill and relax in a lovely place.

My sister and I stayed in the Honeysuckle cottage and had a great time. It's not fitted with 'modern' furniture; however it has a wonderful laid back feel to the place. The large deck was great, with fantastic views. The kitchen was adequately equipped, and the fireplace easy to light/manage. The shower was hot with plenty of pressure. The goats... More

4 adults and one 2.5 year toddler all stayed at Stringybark cottage for 2 nights 22 March 2013 and loved it. The cottage is a typical farm-stay cottage, well maintained, clean and in a beautiful location. Our son especially loved riding his bike around the securely enclosed garden and feeding the (quiet) chickens, whilst the adults loved sitting in the... More

I stayed one night at Stringybark Cottage, it was meant to be two nights! The place was filthy dirty and looked like no one had stayed there for the past 10 years. The benchs had food particles left on them and the stove was covered in whatever the last person there cooked. Then just as I sat on the couch... More

As owner /manager of Stringybark Cottage,I was surprised and saddened by the negative review we received on 3/3/2013 As you can see from other reviews posted most of our guests love our accommodation and many come back time and time again to "their" Stringybark Cottage" where there is always a bunch of fresh flowers,chocolates and in winter,a fire laid ready...

I stayed for 3 nights in the Barn Studio with my 9 week old puppy and had an absolutely delightful stay. It was the middle of winter and the sun streaming in through the large windows was magnificent. Loved the bird life, especially the superb blue fair wren family that were regular visitors. A young family stayed in the cypress... More

We stayed there for two nights with our two dogs and we all loved the place !! The outdoor spa bath was awesome !! I thought it was very nice for the owner to allow the guest to collect the free range eggs from the chicken pen. The location of the property - Stringybark was secluded and the scenery is... More

Stayed at 'The Dairy' for 3 nights in November 2011 - loved the sunken spa in the lounge and the wonderful views across the countryside. We didn't actually realise that it was dog friendly until we arrived, so next time our dog will be joining us- there is a well fenced yard, dog bowls and dog beds! The kitchen is... More

To ensure your holiday has minimum environmental impact we buy green electricity and grow our own firewood and building timber. What makes us special is our attention to detail. ..."don't change a thing, we loved the decor and furnishings, such a pleasant change from modern motel rooms" Pip"our stay was perfect in every way, we would love to plan a return stay, thank you so much"LaurenLocalityThe Pennyroyal Valley is a jewel of the Otway Foothills just off the main inland road to Lorne. The valley was once famous for its orchards and berry farms and wild apples and cherry plums still fruit by the Pennyroyal Stream and road. There are areas of State Forest and National Park. There are trout and native blackfish in the stream. Today there are 2 PYO berry farms with cafes open in season. The township of Deans Marsh boasts a general store and 3 cafes, each with its own character. Martians specialty is live music and a bottle shop and Sticky Spoons has great food and hosts live theatre, poetry and music. Old Lorne Rd Olives boasts a more contemporary cafe which specialises in olive products and appears in the Age Good Food Guide. Pennyroyal Farm shelters below the ridge protected from cold winds. It looks out over farmland to State Forest where there are plenty of opportunities for Pet Friendly bushwalking including the historic Coal Train Walk which we maintain. This ex dairy farm has been transformed into boutique holiday cottages with extensive native plantings for shelter, firewood, beauty and privacy for our guests. The only livestock we run these days are a few goats to keep the grass down and keep our guests amused with their antics. ... more   less
