Tallawarra Homestead

Our time hosted by the endearing Andrey and Janine at the beautifully appointed Tallawarra Homestead rates as one of our most favourite experiences away.
Our commendation, simply put, cannot be higher.

Lovely property in an attractive region; charming and helpful hosts who provided "old-fashioned" service, excellent breakfast and afternoon tea. Janine and Andrey gave lots of excellent local information to help enrich our stay. The property was charming and spacious in a pleasant rural setting.

I Left Crying With Deep Gratitude For The Beautiful Experience Janine & Andrey Created For Us?

From the moment you are greeted at the door with a beautiful warm welcoming smile, you already know you will be looked after well.

The homestead itself is old school luxury with a modern twist. Facilities are new and immaculate throughout. You have a few choices of areas to relax from a beautiful large room boasting of floor to ceiling windows overlooking the property and sitting in front of the wood fired heater sipping a glass of wine from the bar, to relaxing on the sofa watching TV, to reading one of the many books in the luxurious quiet area.

If you love nature, animals, a luxuriously clean homestead, and heart centred warm and friendly hosts who cater to your every whim…. You must come, see and experience this magical place for yourself

Breakfast is included and we had one of the biggest and best cooked breakfasts I’ve had in a long time. Homemade yoghurt was amazing.

I’m looking at booking out the homestead for a spiritual retreat as the energy in this place is so magical.

Wether you are looking to have a small wedding, conference, retreat or a short relaxing getaway this place topped all my expectations and…… at a great price

Andrey & Janine, THANK YOU for a magical getaway experience that I will never forget. I’ll certainly be coming back and telling all my friends. If I could have given you 10 stars I would have

We had a wonderful stay at Tallawarra Homestead! We couldn’t recommend Janine and Andrey’s beautiful accommodation enough. Everything was so thoughtful and well done. Best scones I have ever served with their afternoon tea. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

We have just returned from a wonderful two nights at Tallawarra. Janine and Andrey are so truly lovely and thoughtful. We spent most of our time enjoying the newly built massive sunroom with wrap around windows on 3 sides. Andrey kept the fire going for us as we played board games while watching the kangaroos jump past. Janine’s scones and home made jams are some of the best we’ve had. The homestead was impeccably clean and seemed newly painted with thoughtful and interesting styling. We truly recommend Tallawarra B&B for down time with stunning Aussie views.

We had a really wonderful stay at Tallawara Homestead. Andrey & Janine were both very conscientious and gracious hosts who looked after us during our stay and made sure it was as comfortable as possible.
The rooms and the properties were in immaculate condition, and the bed was so good we found it very difficult to get up in the mornings!
Andrey + Janine serve you fresh breakfast every morning which consists of your standard cooked breakfast and/or continental breakfast which they let you customise to your preferences every morning. If you’re around for afternoon tea they also serve up some absolutely delicious home made scones with cream and raspberry jam that we just couldn’t get enough of!
Tonimbuk is a little known area but there were plenty of great sights to explore that we absolutely loved. Yarragon has a really nice retail precinct with a beautiful art gallery as well. At Noojee, you can take some great photos at the Old Trestle Bridge and then have a nice romantic walk through the forests there. There are also some great wining & dining options in the surrounding towns such as Cannibal Creek Vineyard in Tynong, Garfield Hotel in Garfield and Middels in Drouin.
All in all it was a wonderful stay, very relaxing and serene and exactly what we needed to escape our stressful work lives for a few days!

We would highly recommend to stay at Tallawarra Homstead!
From the moment we arrived the host's were so welcoming and friendly.
The room was well presented, clean & tidy, we were asked if we needed anything, we felt well taken care off!
Delicious cooked breakfast with fresh yoghurt, plunger coffee or tea & juice on a lovely presented table.
The freshly home made scones with home made jam were delicious in the afternoons.
Relaxing mornings & afternoons, sitting & enjoying the warmth of the fire with a cup of tea or coffee, watching the kangaroos and reading a book, so great!
The bed was comfy and warm & listening to the birds in the morning, lovely
Love to come and stay again.

Loved everything about the homestead.super comfortable beds, very clean, beautiful, peaceful, private and quiet.
Definitely unique place to spend few days.
If you are looking for tranquil surroundings and being away from the usual hectic life style then this is it.

Host Janine and Andrey were very nice, friendly and approachable and made us feel very welcome.
Excellent breakfast and home made strawberry jam with scones and cream were amazing.
Thanks for the great 2 days stay



You cannot review this place without writing about the hosts (Andrey and Janine) first.
They are the most warm and welcoming people that I have come across. They have built an experience that will leave you wanting for more. They have an impeccable taste in designing and maintaining the property.
The experience comes with a morning breakfast which Janine will take you over. We opted for the cooked breakfast which was very well made.
The whole property has an antique but modern look about it. The rooms are clean with top notch amenities.
There is a indoor deck area which has an amazing view. In the evenings we sat there with a wine and they play soothing music which helps you relax. You can also see Kangaroos relaxing in distance.
All in all we loved this place. It's a perfect place for a romantic getaway.

Simply stunning. If Janine and Andrey had bent any further backwards for us they would have slipped a disc! Outstanding hospitality, high-end accommodation and delicious home-cooked cuisine. Nestled in the countryside and perfectly situated to explore West Gippsland, yet still within easy reach of Melbourne. Don’t hesitate, just book.

Andrey & Janine are great hosts! They made us feel like home during our two nights stay. Their hospitality is exceptional, rooms are very well equipped and very clean. We loved their phenomenal breakfasts and afternoon tea+scones in particular! Superb place for a weekend getaway to relax and enjoy the calming environment. We will be back soon for sure. Thanks again!

We feel very fortunate to have stumbled upon Janine & Andrey's hidden gem. From the moment you walk in, you are welcomed and are made to feel at home. Nothing is too much trouble. The homestead itself is absolutely spectacular along with all the furnishings and nic-nacs that adorn each room. The bed was super comfortable and we didn't feel at all guilty for sleeping as much as we did! Lovely breakfasts, INCREDIBLE home-made scones, jam and cream. Cant wait to return. Thanks for a very relaxing stay guys!

One of the most wonderfully tranquil places we've ever stayed. Janine and Andrey are exceptional hosts, always on hand for our every need but also being discrete whilst doing so. There were plenty of different areas to relax but our favourite was the garden room: a beautiful, open area that overlooked the rolling hills and hopping kangaroos.

The breakfasts were delicious, the afternoon scones were an absolute treat, and the bar was incredibly well stocked! For main meals, there are plenty of local wineries but we also bought some bits to cook on their BBQ.

If you're looking for a truly relaxing and rejuvenating getaway, we couldn't recommend the Tallawarra Homestead enough.

Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Great place, top quality, really its a 5 star accommodation, beautiful scenery around it, lovely and very friendly hosts, we loved this place

Home atmosphere, sweet smile while servicing and entertaining the guests which is very attractive.and that makes you feel that you are at your own home.thanks for such a great hospitality.

We are still talking about the night away to Tonimbuk, waking up refreshed following our stay with Janine and Andre at the Tallawarra Homestead. Loved your home made edibles, and it is fantastic to know you source food locally, supporting everyone in the district - especially in light of the March '19 fires. You have recovered well from that horrifying day, and I will support your future plans - even if council has other opinions.

What a wonderful experience both Peter and I had at Tallawarra. To Janine & Andrey, your hospitality along with your friendly charm and warmth will be treasured. Thank you for making our Anniversary - special!
