Our stay in Tyabb for my husbands birthday
The property is very clean and very similar to the pictures. We had a great stay and Miriam was a great host. There was a heated pool that we enjoyed swimming in and on our last night there, we lit a fire and sat by the fire. Miriam was super accommodative and tried her best to make our stay pleasant. It was lovely to see the farm animals as well and it was a great stay which was different. It was my husbands birthday and upon request, the cottage was decorated nicely. Thank you for a pleasant stay, will recommend this place for sure! 😊

What a magical and healing place!
The second you arrive at Willindi you know you are somewhere very special. Harmony Cottage is a pristinely clean and luxurious little cottage in the centre of a glorious farm, the likes of which I’ve only ever experienced in the south of France. The entire place is landscaped with hedges of roses and lavender, the animals are beautiful & friendly and the heated pool is amazing. Miriam, the host, is an absolute delight and a gracious host, she showed me around the farm and let me meet all the animals she has rescued. I feel so privileged to have stayed here and experienced such a life-affirming stay. I will return.

I had wonderful stay in the harmony cottage right on the edge of the the horse paddock. A lovely peaceful place to stay. Beautifully maintained, clean and modern. Miriam was delightful and the farm tour was a highlight and learning about the property and rescue horse was fascinating. Highly recommend staying for a quiet getaway we will return.

Such an amazing little get away, the property was A-MAZING, the hosts were so friendly and helped with recommendations for local food and offered a tour of the farm. So cosey and clean, easy check in process. My favourite part of this little home is waking up in the morning, opening the curtains and watching the horses having some breakfast.

We stayed here the night of our wedding and loved it so beautiful, very relaxing, and very good communication. The only thing which wasn’t amazing was we couldn’t get food out to the cottage and there wasn’t food for us to buy at the cottage either. We were starving as we forgot to eat at the wedding but we had to stick it out till the next day. Overall very good stay…. pack snacks though 😂

A horses and Hamptons delight
As the hardwood gates opened to welcome us into the manicured gardens and peaceful energy of this picturesque property, we were thrilled with our choice to book Wilindi estate. Only three brand new Hampton-style cottages are located on the grounds, yet all are positioned away from each other to ensure privacy and quiet; the only sounds were that of the kookaburras laughing, horses snuffling at our window and chooks clucking ‘Good Morning’ at our door.😊 The kids were invited to gather freshly laid eggs with the lovely Miriam, who’s kind hospitality made us feel relaxed immediately, and later to join her on a farm tour to meet the horses she has rescued and is nursing back to good health with the help of her veterinary team. With a stunning and secure solar-heated pool for afternoon dips, Wilindi Estate is a gorgeous choice for a romantic escape or family getaway. Accommodation bookings aid to fund the vet care of the horse rescue clinic, Herd Harmony, and guests can get amongst it in a fun, safe and wholesome farm life experience. Thank you Miriam for all you’re doing, and for the little things you did for us that has given us some big beautiful memories.
