Mountain and valley views

Soak up the views during your stay.
Cradled in the foothills of the Hoddle Ranges, Gippsland, lies a cosy nook to escape and find yourself amongst soft muzzles and tussled manes.

A unique stay at our converted Dairy Farm, located in the heart of Hoddle. Just a short drive to Wilsons Promontory National Park, surrounded by magnificent beaches and vibrant local towns.

Roll down the hill to Fish Creek for an artisan vibe or Foster for markets and a cidery stop on the return journey. Come and experience the best of South Gippsland!

The space
Stable & Nook is an eclectic space nestled in the heart of Hoddle. Our beds are complete with linen sheets and down quilts, to snuggle into on the cold winter nights or fling back on warmer summer evenings (yes ladies we know a top sheet is essential). An endless supply of rainwater means long hot showers are never a problem and a split system or wood look heater to stay cosy.

Gowns and blankets are supplied to cosy up on the butter soft leather lounge and gaze out at the rolling green hills or Netflix away the hours sipping on a Gurneys or local wine you picked up on your day out!!

Our bungalow offers a relaxed, cosy nook, perfect for a short getaway or longer sojourn. Plus, with the Great Southern Rail Trail on our doorstep, you can explore over 70kms of bike, hike, or horse-riding trails.

Guest access
Our cosy bungalow (they didn’t have Tardis as an option) is all yours. We are proudly an inclusive stay and all guests of any background or community are welcomed here into a safe space.

Please note. The space around the bungalow is shared with the property owners and used by our horses to move about. We are very aware of maintaining your privacy.

Feel free to respectfully use the space around the bungalow and share a moment with our horses.

Other things to note
We stock a basic pantry due to our remote nature, which includes: Coffee Capsules (Nespresso), Black and Herbal Teas, Milk (please advise us prior to your stay which 'milk' you prefer) Salt, Pepper & Olive Oil, some dried herbs and spices, or prick fresh from our garden when in season.

You are working on country time now and most shops close early so we advise you stop at one of the general stores or supermarkets in Fish Creek or Foster on your way here or while out and about.

Amenities in your kitchenette include a coffee maker (pod) toaster, kettle, microwave, BBQ (on the deck) pancake maker/toaster, bar fridge, dishwasher, crockery, cutlery, knives, Chopping boards and serving dishes. If you are drawn to the amazing produce in the area we have a full kitchen in the group space just across the driveway that you are welcome to use to cook up a storm!!

If you ask nicely Tim can share with you where he sources, and how he prepares the 'Perfect' local grown, grass fed, Rib Eye...YUM

Please note, due to the nature of our business pets and young children will need to be supervised around our horses as they are very friendly. We ask that you only interact with our horses from outside their paddock (over the fence) as they run in a herd and can be overwhelmingly curious.

For their safety Dogs must not be allowed to roam freely around our property. Dogs must not be left unsupervised for extended periods without prior approval from the host.

We are approximately 4.5kms to Fish Creek, 7kms to Foster, 15kms to Yanakie, 41kms to Tidal River. Roll down the hill to Fish Creek or Foster along the Great Southern Rail Trail.

Neighborhood highlights

Once a small hamlet itself, Hoddle is nestled in the heart of Prom Country, between Foster (to the East) and Fish Creek (to the West). The area is mostly Dairy & Beef country, but is becoming more diverse. Local Farmers and Craft Markets are a highlight for the area, followed by the growing number of cafes and restaurants, including Gurney's Cidery, accessible from The Great Southern Rail Trail that runs by our front gate, or a short drive toward the township of Foster.

The Coastal Hamlets of Sandy Point, Waratah and Walkerville are just a short drive away and all have wonderful (some secret) beaches.

And of course we can't forget the iconic 'Fishy Pub' just 5 minutes up the road - hike, bike, ride or a short drive into Fish Creek.

We love our horses of course, meeting new people, supporting people in their personal journeys, great food and lively conversations. We prefer privacy when travelling, comfort with a touch of luxury.
