4. Classic farmhouse with spectacular countryside views
From the coast, we’re traveling back inland and northwest of Melbourne to the small village of Yandoit, another Victoria destination that’s off the beaten path for most tourists. For a time, it was settled by many Swiss Italians, and one of their lasting legacies include the stone buildings scattered around town. When you’re here, stay at Arda Cluggen, a two-story timber farmhouse with five bedrooms and three bathrooms. It sits on the heart of a sprawling property you can explore. Simply perfect if you’re looking for a change of pace and scenery!
