2 years agoAbsolutely cherished my time at Graze Ballan. Jill & Phil were so welcoming, warm and accommodating. They really thought of everything. I work retail and consider myself somewhat of an introvert so this place was perfect for me and my pup Hazel to get away and just spend our time unwinding and enjoying the sounds of nature. Hazel and the resident pup Daisy became Inseparable, which gave me some time to relax and enjoy a snooze on the hammock when not taking a walk around the property to visit the friendly farm animals. The accommodation has everything you need plus some sweet little extras which I found so thoughtful. The food I ordered from the menu was delectable. You can tell they put so much love into what they do. I’m so glad to have found this place as I will no doubt visit again soon! Thanks so much for your hospitality Jill & Phil! X

2 years agoWe loved everything about the farm stay at Jill and Phil's. I don't even know where to start! The whole setup is so unique, from the separate dining and living where you can get away from the cold at night and play board games by the record player and heater, to the camp kitchen where you can cook your breakfast on the BBQ amongst the trees. We lit the bonfire early and even though it lightly rained throughout the day it didn't stop us from staying outside all day, eating the marshmallows provided by Jill, and hand-feeding the beautiful farm animals. We also made some mulled wine with the spices pack and red wine provided. It really was the perfect winter getaway! We also chose to have a dinner catered by Jill which was next level! The roast was amazing and she also catered for me being vegetarian. We brought our 1.5 yr old whippet with us too and he had the best time ever running around with Daisy. I think he's quite upset that he had to come home to Melbourne! We can't wait to visit again!

2 years agoBeautiful location, lovely setup. We stayed here for a festival over new years and it was such a lovely little spot. Jill was incredibly accommodating to our dietary requirements (vegan) and she was very relaxed and friendly. Her dog Daisy and cute little farm animals you could feed were such a wonderful added bonus. Kitchen had everything you needed to cook, but Jill also offers a proper menu of gourmet items you could order. Lovely stay!

2 years agoWe loved our stay at graze Ballan with Jill and Phil (and of course their dog, Daisy!). I was so impressed how every little detail seemed to be thought of which made our stay so comfortable. We arrived to a roaring fire and glass of wine! They also had lots of advice for what we could do in the area. We loved feeding the goats too! There was the option for complimentary dog sitting of our little Nellie which is definitely the most “dog friendly” accommodation we have ever found! Daisy is a total sweetheart and tried to hop in our car to come home with us at the end 😂 you can close the gate to keep her out if you don’t like dogs but we loved having her around! We had a lovely time and will definitely be back. Thank you!

2 years agoWOW!! This is probably my favorite Airbnb stay ever. It’s beautiful, peaceful, relaxing and never a dull moment - not even the wet weather could dampen the spirits! Think campfire, roasting marshmallows, hand feeding the goats and Colin the alpaca, playing with Daisy the cutest and friendliest kelpie, playing old records and dancing in the rain! Loved it, thank you Jill and Phil, we will be back :) p.s. Jill cooks UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING meals! Please, you absolutely have to try!!!
