Having stayed at the property (in the name of guest research) what really sets this offer apart is the fact that the luxury feel is combined with a 100% off-grid experience. The house and the cottage are beautifully appointed, in Metcalfe, 100kms from Melbourne, with panoramic views of Mount Macedon, Heathcote and Greenhill ranges. The very private location backs on to the state forest and is home to a large mob of kangaroos and other native fauna. Inspired by the agricultural setting, the Architect Owners have created two dwellings, made from typically agricultural materials. Timbers, plywood, steel framing, polished concrete and concrete masonry brickwork are used to great effect to create not only a dramatic aesthetic but for thermal properties and fire resistance. A richly textured garden, by landscape designers Tim Nicholas and Mel Ogden softens the industrial elements and provides privacy for guests that wish to book separately. Guests have the choice to book the main house which sleeps up to six guests and comprises three bedrooms and a generous living and dining area or the cottage, a luxurious one-bedroom villa that is privy to the natural pool and private courtyard. Designed and constructed using Ecologically Sustainable Design principles at the forefront. While there are no “domestic finishes” the house feels intrinsically comfortable. The house and cottage are powered by solar, a backup battery and a generator. Heating is supplied via a wood-burning furnace that heats panel heaters in the main house and two wood-combustion fires in the house and cottage. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96800000/96791100/96791081/74561181.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### HILLPLAINS HOUSE + COTTAGE - 100% OFF GRID LUXURY Metcalfe - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-19&endDate=2026-02-20&selected=96791081&PinnedHotelID=96791081&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96800000/96791100/96791083/71d4fa8e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### HILLPLAINS COTTAGE - 100% OFF-GRID LUXURY Metcalfe - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-19&endDate=2026-02-20&selected=96791083&PinnedHotelID=96791083&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![1 bedroom, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114140000/114131400/114131323/12554145.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hillsview Cottage by Tiny Away Taradale - Kitchen - Parking available - Barbecue grill - Fireplace CA $182 CA $230 total includes taxes & fees Feb 8 - Feb 9 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-08&endDate=2026-02-09&selected=114131323&PinnedHotelID=114131323&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96140000/96134900/96134822/2e5355b4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cosy Barn / Farm Stay / Private Horse-equine Oasis Elphinstone - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-19&endDate=2026-02-20&selected=96134822&PinnedHotelID=96134822&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106220000/106219900/106219836/31fd0892.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tiny Harper Summary: Metcalfe - Kitchen - Parking available - Barbecue grill - Mountain view CA $308 CA $308 total includes taxes & fees Feb 8 - Feb 9 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-08&endDate=2026-02-09&selected=106219836&PinnedHotelID=106219836&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105580000/105578200/105578142/6f52309a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### LOLA COTTAGE - MI CASA TU CASA Kyneton - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 6.0 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-19&endDate=2026-02-20&selected=105578142&PinnedHotelID=105578142&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111040000/111039800/111039711/541ac21c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Fassway Farm Greenhill - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-19&endDate=2026-02-20&selected=111039711&PinnedHotelID=111039711&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![1 bedroom, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/122000000/121320000/121314100/121314036/w1009h683x0y0-edcc6f01.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Avalon Tiny Home by Tiny Away Kyneton - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Breakfast available - Parking available 10 Exceptional 1 review CA $182 CA $230 total includes taxes & fees Feb 9 - Feb 10 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-09&endDate=2026-02-10&selected=121314036&PinnedHotelID=121314036&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89940000/89933100/89933093/f6d05ce5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Barn at Crofters Fold \~ Daylesford Macedon Region \~ Bohemian Barn!
