A restored 1890s shearing shed, a fire going, and nowhere you need to be.
Appleyard Cottage sits on our working truffle farm here in the Macedon Ranges. It’s a little retreat for two. Long breakfasts, English style gardens, a private lake, tennis court, a pool in the warmer months, and views straight out to Hanging Rock.
Wake up slowly. Coffee on the deck. Wander the gardens, walk down to the lake, go explore the Rock, poke around the local markets and wineries. Then come back to a warm room and a good glass of something at the end of the day.
Country Style have put the cottage in the running for the best farm stays in Victoria for 2026, which we’re pretty chuffed about. It’s also an Airbnb Guest Favourite, sits in the top 10% of homes, and was a finalist in the 2025 Airbnb Best Design Stay Awards.
Honestly though, the awards aren’t the bit that gets us. It’s what guests keep saying afterwards. The quiet. The gardens. The little touches. There’s a lot of love in this place.
Come and stay. Link in bio to book.
