ENVIRONMENT
From the owners:
“We’re a couple devoted to the world of nature … our lives focus on managing a sustainable life style that we can share with like-minded guests. We value our wildlife highly, and protect the habitats that we have created within Wombat Bend; our bird register lists over 100 species, resident and visiting; we have numerous marsupials (wombats, possums, gliders), and nine species of microbats; our frog population is amongst the highest recorded for the Yarra Valley. Our passion extends to a deep understanding of Australia’s flora, and the many eco-zones across our continent. We try to live lightly and carefully in all we do, and in what we create. We see ourselves as custodians, with a responsibility to care for our planet …. and it is wonderful to know that our guests share the same values. It is a privilege to offer our sanctuary to others to enjoy.”
What we love…
The Burrow at Wombat Bend in the beautiful Yarra Valley is the perfect place for couples to escape from everyday life. Watch the light change over the billabong, hear the frog chorus at night, the birds going about their lives, and breathe fresh clean air. And from the moment you arrive, you won’t miss the rest of the world one little bit.
