In the evenings, keep an eye out over the historic red gums for a fiery sunset and spectacular star gazing on a clear night.

We suggest booking restaurants well in advance if you are heading to the Royal Mail Hotel (Parker St Project / Wickens) or The Bunyip Hotel (in Cavendish).

Stroll across the oval to the Dunkeld Old Bakery for a great coffee and the most delicious hot sourdough bread!

PETS & WILDLIFE:
Dunkeld is a natural environment with abundant wildlife on and around our property and as such we don't allow pets. You will frequently see kangaroos, possums and many bird species in the yard and surrounding paddocks. Thank you for helping us to maintain the house and also protect the local wildlife by leaving your pets at home.

We are near the local football ground - three to four games are played here during the season and we will let you know if it's a footy weekend when booking so you know to expect a few hours of game play.

Join in with the locals for some country footy fun and hospitality!

There are two smart doorbells at Dunkeld House along with two security cameras at the front and one at the back paddock, providing outdoor security protection for you 24/7.
