A great family get away!
We had a lovely stay. The house comfortably fitted our group of 13 and was a great spot for us to go exploring in the nearby national parks. A short walk to the Ballandean Tavern for a tasty meal, and also to the general store and coffee shop. The kids also loved playing in the large grounds and on the swings. A very comfortable and relaxing stay.

Great weekend getaway
The house is in a great location to discover the wineries around Ballandean. It is well equipped and on a wintery cold weekend, we were all warm and comfortable. We had a group of 10 adults and enjoyed our stay.

Lovely, comfortable, spacious farmhouse
This property really lived up to the online impression, and indeed, exceeded it. The house was spacious, comfortable, warm and generously equipped - plenty of towels, bedding, glasses, kitchen equipment, everything we needed for a weekend away. The lounge room was fantastic and we spent most of our time there, in front of the open fire. Thank you James and Mary Ann.

Great trip for family and friends
This is the second time we've holidayed at James' Farmhouse. The first time was 9 years ago. It's a great place for a group of family/friends and brilliant for kids. Plenty to do, all within a short distance of the Farmhouse.

Short stay at Ballandean
We were a group of 8 staying at James Farmhouse mid week. We had planned for 3 nights but were cut back to 2 due to extra time being needed to clean because of the pandemic. The house was very suited to our purpose mainly because of the large kitchen and dining table. We experienced some cold weather but the house was warmed by two fires and several oil heaters. Ample firewood was supplied along with an axe.
The house was clean but some of the bedrooms were quite small and the beds only acceptably comfortable. The lounge had plenty of comfortable seating and an efficient wood stove for heating.

Lovely stay, again.
Just had our second stay at this property. Previously, it was during winter and this time summer. Again, a lovely outlook (the scenery and atmosphere completely different in summer).
The gardens are beautiful, the house is simply set out and nicely decorated and being able to see the neighboring vinyards is also a lovely feature of the property.
