    Loved our stay so so much. The room had everything we needed and more. Lynne even stocked the kitchen with vegan meals and snacks that were really yummy. It really inspired us to integrate more plant based ingredients and meals into our every day...

Feel like getting away? Relax and unwind in our self contained in-house accommodation, enjoying panoramic views of Mt Macedon. Sleep in a luxurious king size four poster bed. You will have a separate entrance, bathroom and kitchenette with modern conveniences such as a coffee machine, microwave and oven. As well as filtered water, Bluetooth stereo, TV, Netflix, DVDs, WiFi, games and books. Your own fully fenced garden, shared spa, shared outdoor washing machine, dryer and undercover outdoor dining table. We also accept visits from your furry variety of friends as well - very pet friendly. Dogs must be on lead around the animals. They will have their own enclosed yard. I will meet you when you arrive and pass on your key and explain details of the room. I like to give my guests space but am available when needed. I will provide a small tour as part of your stay. I delight in sharing my home and will go out of my way to ensure a memorable stay. I have been a local in the region for 20 years and will endeavor to ensure you see all that the Macedon Ranges has to offer.
I am a professional that works at the Royal Children's Hospital. My mother lives with me. I run Galahad’s Animal Sanctuary which was started seven years ago. The purpose of Galahad's Sanctuary is to: - Provide care for homeless, abused, injured or abandoned animals, teach them to trust again and provide them a forever home. - Promote compassion, understanding and respect for all animals and promote responsible and humane treatment towards animals in our community and the wild. Galahad's Animal Sanctuary is set on 30 acres and is an animal rescue sanctuary. Galahad's Animal Sanctuary has rescued many animals, including camels, horses, donkeys, cows, sheep, alpacas, chickens and a rooster as well as dogs. When you stay with us, all proceeds go to the feed and care of all the animals at Galahad's Sanctuary. We will provide you with a small free tour of the sanctuary at no additional charge. The property has two dams, it is well treed with large open spaces and has a beautiful view to Mount Macedon. Kangaroos, Possums and Echidna's also live here. You will be able to walk around the property, however please stay out of the animal paddocks without supervision, as there are large animals such as horses and camels in these paddocks. Please note this is a working farm environment, it sometimes can be messy and smell like animals. Animals can be noisy e.g. a rooster who crows in the morning, and a camel who growls when she is pleased to see you. Not to mention the donkeys! Please remember to ensure the gates are always closed behind you. The rate includes a small tour of our farm sanctuary. If you would like a tour with professional photography please contact Lynne for details. Further details on the stories of our animals and our mission can be found here: www galahads-sanctuary com
Gisborne town centre is a 5 minute drive, with plenty of cafes, restaurants and supermarkets to choose from. We are 15 minutes from Mount Macedon, if you fancied hiking, riding or sight seeing. Macedon Ranges is renowned for its many wineries, golf courses, historic towns and streetscapes. Regional parks and private estates (some of which are open to the public from Spring to Autumn). We are your gateway to the festivals, monthly markets, the Memorial Cross at Mt Macedon, Sanctuary Lake, Camels Hump Lookout and Hanging Rock and its mysterious history, all ready for you to discover.
