Hobby farm happiness
Beautiful landscape. Shady tree coverage. Such wonderful warm hosts. We loved meeting the animals and watching the morning milking. The kids had such fun playing.

Delightful.
What a wonderful little find. Tucked into the back blocks of Blackbutt is a little space to hide under the canopy of tall gums, lovely breezes and welcoming hosts.
Luke, Steff and their kids went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and settled before moving onto the farm activities depending on the time of day.
Cows, chickens and dogs all doing their own thing whilst we did ours. We were lucky enough to stay on the 3rd Sunday weekend which meant the Blackbutt Markets were running.... add in Yarraman on the Saturday and a little dirt road to Bernakin and you can easily fill your days.
I would love to review the markets but alas, after a lazy morning of coffee and pancakes, the afternoons were filled with a little rum and a lot of ukulele playing and siestas.
The night time is where it comes into its own though.... super starry nights even with a fuller moon and quiet... so quiet that it felt like I was the noisiest person in the whole of Blackbutt! Couple this with a fire that was generously stoked by the hosts and it was a late night of warmth, laughs and reflection.
Forget Eggs and bread. Seriously. Free range eggs can be bought prior to arriving and are better than anything from the Duopoly that we usually get. Couple this a Sour Dough loaf of bread made by Steff and like us, you are set for a couple of days.
A big credit to Luke, Steff and the kids for the work to make this little place special... we will go back but this time on the other side of the drive.
