Yarra Valley Farmhouse | Alpacas Firepit Space Pod
This farmhouse sits on a quiet stretch of Lower Homestead Road in Wonga Park, directly opposite Heritage Golf & Country Club and moments from Mt Lofty Park. It's countryside calm with city convenience: the Yarra Valley wine trail is right around the corner, and Melbourne CBD is only 35 km away. The house is modern farmhouse through and through: clean lines, warm timber, natural light, and the kind of effortless comfort that makes you want to cancel your checkout alarm.

Sunroom — Bunk-bed setup, sleeps 10. A bright, communal space perfect for kids, teens, or groups who want that camp-style energy.
