The Barn, Nungurner

Tucked away in a leafy courtyard garden, The Barn feels like your own little hideaway in East Gippsland. It's a lovingly converted country barn with loads of character - think beams, cosy corners and the kind of quiet that makes you slow down. Step outside and you'll hear frogs at night, spot native birds by day, and on a clear evening the stars will steal the show.

Inside, you've got everything you need for a comfortable stay: a well-equipped kitchenette for easy meals, WiFi and streaming TV if you feel like curling up indoors. There's a comfy bedroom perfect for two (with the option to bring along an extra guest). Fire up the barbecue, pour a glass of local wine, and settle in by the outdoor fireplace. Bring your four-legged friend along and make it a truly relaxed getaway.

Best of all, while The Barn feels wonderfully private, you're only a short drive from Metung, Lakes Entrance, and the Gippsland Lakes. It's the kind of place that makes you feel worlds away, yet close to everything worth exploring.
