WHETHER YOU’RE TRAVELING SOLO, CELEBRATING WITH A LOVED ONE OR INDULGING IN YOUR LOVE OF FIBRE – TARNDIE OFFERS ACCOMMODATION & A PLACE TO RELAX & UNWIND FOR ALL.
We invite visitors to get the full experience of rural Australian life by staying with us at Tarndie. Tarndie is one of Victoria’s oldest surviving homesteads, and is the continuation of one of Australia’s oldest family farms. Today, the Dennis family still grow Polwarth wool and invite you to come and stay in either The Farmers Cottage or The Stables Studios to share the farm’s bucolic setting.

TARNDIE
ONE OF VICTORIA’S OLDEST & BEAUTIFUL SURVIVING HOMESTEADS
THE FARMERS COTTAGE
A 1940s farm workers cottage in the middle of the working sheep farm.
Featuring 2 bedrooms – a Queen bedroom and Twin bedroom (which has 2 King Single beds). We use natural fibres for a naturally good sleep with Australian made wool-filled pillows, quilts and underlays. Complemented with quality linen and the smell of fresh flowers.
Take in the surrounds on our 15 minute Farm Walking Trail. Meet a few of our famous Polwarth sheep and be daring and leave the front gate to discover the little nuggets of goodness in the Otways. Small-scale wineries, breweries and cider makers. Farm shops. Art galleries. Surprisingly good food and coffee. Lush waterfall walks. Soaring timbers. The Great Ocean Road is 40 minutes away at Lorne and will inspire even the most regular visitors.
Sometimes you just don’t want to do anything. So light up the open wood fire, pour a local shiraz, watch a DVD, read one of the books in your “to read” pile and sprawl out on the sofa. Crafty folk will also enjoy getting stuck into our famous Polwarth wool and yarns and create something at the source.
