Wendy Johnson
River Gardens Axedale Farmstay B&B is a working sheep and goat farm that offers 2 types of accommodation on our 133 acres of cropping land right on the banks of the Campaspe River. The 2 accommodation areas though under the homestead roofline have private access with one being similar to a motel room with kitchenette, ensuite and the capacity to sleep 3 (1 double, 1 single) and the other a fully self contained unit that can sleep up to 4 (1 double and 1 double sofa bed). All this is on approximately 2 acres of manicured gardens with access to the river just a stroll away. Join in farm activities, relax in the gardens or use us as a base to explore Bendigo, Heathcote and Eppalock all of which are less than 1/2 hour away
I love animals, gardening and spoiling people, so this is the perfect place where I can do all three and best of all I can share it with you.
Just a couple of kilometres away is the delightful township of Axedale which boasts a general store/bank/post office/take away/petrol, police station, a playground, Platypus Point and what country town would be complete without a pub. The Axedale Tavern has it all, fantastic meals (take away is available) a coffee house and an amazing beer garden that even has live entertainment. NB the pub is closed Mondays.
