Accommodation - Ballybrook Farm
Accommodation is now available at “Ballybrook Farm”. If you simply want to get away from the hustle and bustle to the country or the bush, or just to be surrounded by nature on a working farm, we have just the option for you.
From here, you can explore the scenery, wineries and history of the Macedon Ranges – all this and only 40 minutes from the centre of Melbourne and 30 minutes from Melbourne airport.
Stay up in the back paddock at Ballybrook Farm in our eco-friendly, off-grid tiny home. Wake up to birds chirping and Highland cattle & kangaroos grazing out in the paddocks.

Farm Tours (Pat a Cow)
Highland Cow Experience & Farm Tour – Want to get up close and personal with a Highland cow, or see a bunch of adorable Highland calves? Ride around in our 6-seater CanAm while we show you around our farm and get you scratching these beautiful bovines (as well as our Highland Ponies & their foals).
WE will share with you the story of this majestic breed, and our time with them, and there will be plenty of opportunities for photos. All this, and so close to Melbourne city and airport.
Photo Shoot
