Mount Macedon is a bushfire prone area. As such, guests will be required to leave on days of extreme fire risk (Catastrophic days or if there is an active fire nearby). Unfortunately, it is typical to be made aware of fire ratings only 1-3 days prior. We apologise in advance if this occurs during your stay, however, your safety is our main concern and you will be required to leave. If this occurs you will receive a refund for any night(s) you could not stay. We recommend all guests download the Vic Emergency App so they can receive up to date information about active fires, fire danger ratings, fire bans, road closures, and local emergency warnings.
There is a beehive on the property in the north eastern corner near the orchard. Like any great relationship it thrives on mutual respect. Our experience has been that the bees won’t cause you any trouble if you keep a safe distance - we’d suggest at least 5m. Children should always be supervised in the garden.
Check-in from 3pm, check-out by 10am.
Rate is for 4 guests, extra couch surfer $25pp per night (up to 5 guests maximum).
