Pets that are clean and flea free are most welcome but must be past the chewing phase. Pets are permitted to enter the house and stay on non-carpeted areas. Pets are not permitted into the carpeted bedrooms for hygiene reasons. One large or two smaller dogs are permitted per stay. If your furry friend prefers the great outdoors there is a fully enclosed dog/cat run adjacent to the homestead with kennel for your pet to call home. The house yard is also securely fenced for children and pets to roam freely and safely around the lawn area. Owners Steve & Kim Kleinitz live adjacent to the property on a working farm. Their curious, friendly cows help to keep the grass down at Country House Retreat, and welcome new visitors.

A beautiful note left in our guest book by guests who booked a spontaneous escape from the city.

While we were off on our own holiday adventure, our lovely team member Wendy stepped out of her ugg boots and donned her hero cape — heading down to flick on the lights and heating to welcome our late-night arrivals.

Our trusty Border Collie Hugo also appears to have won hearts (AND enjoyed a cooked breakfast or two!) whilst we were away.

A big shout out to our tiny but mighty team - Wendy, Michelle & Hugo - for keeping the lights on and the hospitality warm🤎

Got a horse lover in your family? Yep, we do too!

Honey is quite the social creature, and doesn't mind who she gets her carrot snacks or ear scratches from. If you're planning a stay and would like to enjoy her company, just let us know and we can bring this pretty palomino across for a visit.

If you're interested in jumping in the saddle, local operator Lancasters Horse Rides offer trail rides close by, through the beautiful Colquhoun Forest.

❄️🧊 HE’S BACK 🧊❄️

Glenn Smith from Ice Designs Australia is returning to Metung’s Fire & Ice event on Saturday 5th July to carve up a storm once again! 🧊

Although he’s officially retired, we’ve convinced this ice-carving wizard to pick up the tools one more time and turn a solid block of ice into a glittering masterpiece.

Over the years at Fire & Ice, Glenn has wowed the crowds with dolphins, pelicans, a seahorse, and even a magical mermaid. What icy creation will come to life this year?

💬 Drop your suggestions in the comments – and don’t forget to book your FREE tickets to see it all unfold before your eyes!

Part of the East Gippsland Winter Festival, this is one frosty spectacle you won’t want to miss.
