Our home is just out of Rutherglen in the state of Victoria. We are very accessible, just near the freeway and rail line linking Australia’s two largest cities Melbourne & Sydney.
An airport is nearby.
Rutherglen is a winery/tourism agricultural area in the Murray River valley. The Australian Alps are nearby, easily accessible for day trips.
Our climate is Mediterranean with warm to hot summers, temperate spring/autumn and cool winters.
We have 11 acres set among neighbouring vineyards. Your accommodation is self-contained about 50m from the main house. It includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and is airconditioned, kitchen indoor and out. When not being used for working guests it is rented out through an accommodation site. Our family also conducts a small commercial kitchen. We have a large garden and grow vegetables for the kitchen. We are improving/landscaping the property to attract birds and wildlife.

The area has plenty of bike tracks and we have bikes, e-bikes and a canoe which you are welcome to use. Ideally we can accommodate 1-2 people for a week or so but numbers and duration can be flexible. We are a retired couple and our home is safe, welcoming and peaceful. We hope to provide a balance of productive work and enjoyment of a beautiful area.
