What guests are saying about The Clubhouse:
Overall Rating 4.6/5
The Clubhouse is a beautiful well appointed and comfortable house in wonderful and peaceful surroundings. Kangaroos and a variety of bird life can be spotted in the surrounding gardens at different times of the day. The house is not far from Hepburn Springs shop and restaurants and within a very short walk to the local golf course. All of our family enjoyed the weekend stay immensely and we wholeheartedly recommend this place to others.

Driving on the main road you cannot miss the Yandoit church property, it is stunning. Upon entering the property the character begins! As you walk through the mud room into the living area your breath may be taken away from the character and the view, you are unsure where to look….The feel of the property is second to none, the owners have thought of everything. Yandoit church is a balance of history and today’s modern era.

6 3 3
Straight from the pages of a magazine, Barwidgee is a stunning example of ultra modern design employed to renovate and refurbish a traditional Edwardian home of historical significance. Although vastly different, the two sides of the home compliment each other beautifully, through a subtle and sophisticated paint scheme and no fuss but luxurious Insta-worthy interiors.
What guests are saying about Barwidgee:
Overall Rating 4.8/5
The old meets the new. The architecture that flows from from the origional homestead into the new living and kitchen area is simply flawless. I just cannot talk about this place highly enough but the spacious design and the panoramic views from inside and outside the property are amazing. Watching the sunset go down over the hills with a refreshment while a kangaroo hung around is what did it for me. I’ll be back for sure.
