Absolutely Amazing

We had a group of 25 guys for two nights and this was the perfect venue. The bar is amazing, the sleeping arrangement were perfect and the lake was 20 minutes drive away. But I have to say, Rob the owner was a complete legend. He was always responded positively so some requests we had and was so helpful. Would absolutely book this place again. Thanks Bonfire Station!

About the host

Hosted by Robert Christopher

G,day! I'm Rob
Australian born, I was raised in rural Victoria and have spent most of my life on this farm. I am very hardworking, driven, adventurous and an avid world-traveller. I've hiked the Grand Canyon; climbed Cotopaxi, the highest active volcano in the world, in Equador; worked as a ranger in Tanzania, hitchhiked past the Arctic Circle with the Ice Road Truckers and seen the Northern Lights in Alaska; saw the Pyramids in Egypt; drove the famous Route 66 in California; and rode elephants in Thailand.

I've backpacked, hiked and hitchhiked my way across the globe and although I have travelled the world extensively and there is still so much that I want to see and do, I will always call Australia home. I have always had a passion for travelling and beer -
so I thought, what better way to combine both of my passions than to own and operate my own farmstay and microbrewery, here in Victoria.

Since 2006, I have worked in the industry and hosted guests on my farm. I enjoy meeting unique and interesting people and the great atmosphere that is created by many people coming to stay & celebrate with us. Having spent most of my life on the farm, I appreciate the beauty and simplicity of country living and I want to share my knowledge and lifestyle with you!
