WELCOME TO TARNDIE
One Family. One Flock.
Since 1840.
Tarndwarncoort is one of Victoria’s oldest surviving homesteads + the continuation of one of Australia’s oldest family sheep farms.
Today, the Dennis family still grow wool + invite you to share the farm’s bucolic setting.
“The word Tarndwarncoort is based on the ancient Gulidjan language, used by the Australian indigenous people to describe the landscape the property sits upon.”
— The Dennis Family
Book Your Stay.
The Stables Studio offers an open, airy, modern fitout within the former horse stables, originally built around 1905. A perfect space for 1 or 2 people to take in a country retreat without giving up the comforts of modern life.
A 1940s workers cottage in the middle of the sheep farm, complemented with quality linen and the smell of fresh flowers. Light up the open wood fire, pour a local shiraz + read one of the books in your “to read” pile…or be daring and leave the front gate to discover all the Otways has to offer..
