From the owner

The Burrow is a beautifully designed mudbrick and cedar retreat, offering self contained B&B accommodation in a purely natural Australian landscape. In the heartland of Melbourne's Yarra Valley, it's just one hour from the CBD or the Airport, and only ten minutes from Yarra Glen.

Set beside a shady billabong, a paradise for the resident birdlife, this is a tranquil retreat for the couple seeking privacy and relaxation. In the heart of the Yarra Valley, you won't be short of things to do and places to go. But most of all, you'll pocket a wealth of take home memories of a close encounter with Nature, in a purely Australian setting that guarantees every comfort, perfect privacy and absolute quietude. And if you are seeking a writer's retreat, or a photographer's inspiration, you have just found it.

Naturally, it's Australian to the core ~ a serene and private retreat with every comfort provided. Watch the sun set over the billabong, a glass of wine beside you; birdsong by day, frogs by night, you're close to Nature and the stars, and a million miles away from stress. You'll feel so relaxed, you'll want to stay forever.

House rules

Our guests are always respectful of our environment, our wildlife and our B&B itself. We are never disappointed because our guests always behave as though they are friends of ours, and that The Burrow is their home away from home. Leaving it clean, tidy and undamaged in any way seems always to be their own way of living too, and we really appreciate and value those standards. Our guests make it very easy for us to love them.

Response from the owner
It was such a pleasure to welcome you to Wombat Bend and to engage in conversations of mutual interest, especially with regard to your film project. Shared interests in literature, garden design, and care for the environment added further layers, and we look forward to the development of the film as you shape it. We also hope it entails another visit to Wombat Bend. Warmest wishes, Sue & Bill, Angus & Jemima
