Allambee Reserve House | A sanctuary from the stress of modern living and a chance to connect with nature

2 Bedroom House in Allambee Reserve, Allambee

Sanctuary at Allambee is an idyllic holiday house set high up in the mountainous Strzelecki Ranges in Gippsland, Victoria.
The house has been thoughtfully updated and is surrounded by extensive gardens and lush farmland, with forested gullies to the rear of the property, small, seasonal waterfalls and extensive wildlife.
The house interior is airy and relaxing and fully self-contained with large, double-glazed windows, polished timber flooring throughout, a modern kitchen, new furniture and appliances, ample heating including a wood heater, and a large bathroom with free standing bath. It accommodates four people.
Outside there is a large timber deck facing north to catch winter sun, and a small porch on the east side.
The garden features walking trails and a charming wood-fired chiminea with BBQ attachment.
The property also includes a large native plant production nursery (Strzelecki Plant Farm) with extensive native gardens, a large vegetable patch and orchards, including Macadamia nuts and Chestnuts. When in season, excess fresh fruit, flowers and vegetables are made available for the benefit of holiday house clients. The property also features Dorper Sheep, a few alpacas and Angus cattle.
The large array of wildlife on the property includes indigenous wet and damp forests dominated by scattered 150+ year-old Mountain Ash, koalas, wallabies, wombats, possums, bandicoots, echidnas, Bush Rats, reptiles and frogs, water fowl, Lyre Birds, cockatoos, parrots, Bower Birds, Kookaburras, honey eaters, native pidgeons, owls, Kurrawongs and many others. Walking trails are planned for easier access.
Local attractions include: The iconic Grand Ridge Road; Mirboo North and its eateries, bush trails and reserves; Yarragon Village; Mount Worth State Park; Allambee Camp with its ropes course, Flying Fox and Giant Swing, and Allambee Flower Farm.
Sixty to ninety minutes drive are: Mount Baw Baw with its extensive Summer walking trails and Winter skiing; Tarra-Bulga National Park and its ancient rainforest, Wilson's Promontory and Inverloch's beaches.
The secluded location offers clients an escape from hectic daily routines, "smart devices" and noise and a chance to relax, put their feet up, listen to music, read, watch movies, walk or run and enjoy nature. A property particularly suited to environmentalists and gardening enthusiasts.
Our current pricing is a flat rate of $230 for two people per night and then an additional $38.50 per additional person up to four people in total. Stays of 28 days attract a 5% discount. Minimum stay is 2 nights.

Summary: We had a wonderful 5 nights staying at Allambee after Christmas with our young kids.The fresh fruit in the fridge when we arrived was a nice touch and had us feeling at home straight away. The gardens and surrounding walks are beautiful and peaceful, we visited the veggie patch & raspberry bushes daily. We had a ball exporing the area seeing plenty of wildlife, the birds and animals around the house make it a very pleasant place to wake up. The house has plenty of books, games & dvds to occupy the time. The lack of internet was welcome, if you have Telstra you will get reception at the top of the driveway.Mirboo North 30 min away is worth a visit with its rail trail & great playground & skatepark to keep the kids busy. Few nice cafes to choose from.Yarragon 20 min away has a smaller kids park, foodworks and shops also.Mount Worth National Park has some nice if somewhat overgrown walking loops 20 min away.Overall a nice location to relax and slow life down.

Summary: Really enjoyed the stay at this well equipped and very comfortable house and the bath was the best! The gardens are lovely, and the surrounding farm land and area is idyllic. It's so peaceful, perfect to de-stress and unwind!

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay amongst the beautiful ferns and established rhododendrons & azaleas. It is a delightful, gardener’s haven. It’s also a perfect destination for people who wish to avoid their phone and other devices because there’s no mobile coverage.

Summary: Sanctuary at Allambee is a beautiful and comfortable home set in magnificent gardens. Every window boasts a stunning floral display and we enjoyed the ambience and coziness provided by the fireplace. We wished we had more time here in this very special retreat and hope to return soon.

Summary: Immaculate well presented property in gorgeous garden. Wonderful sense of rural isolation but actually only a short drive to Yarragon and Mirboo North eateries. Stunning countryside. Friendly but not intrusive hosts. Great walks around the property and nearby.

Summary: This property was just perfect for our family getway. It is secluded and nestled amongst the beautiful trees and gardens. We loved exploring the walking trails and the children could not get enough of the animals - their favourite was a night walk to spot koalas! Ian was a perfect host. Highly recommend.

Summary: Wonderfully clean and spacious house set amongst a tranquil garden of rhodendrens and camellias. Great deck and outdoor area. Cozy living room for cool nights. Wonderful place - thank you!

Carlo A. Aug 7, 2023 11:46:13 AM

Summary: House and property were great. Home owners very friendly and helpful. WiFi would be very helpful as there no coverage in the house at all. Booked it, knowing no WiFi but was unaware there was no mobile signal at all. House has nbn connected but no router. Should definitely have WiFi on offer.
