The Space

Located just 45 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD, near Berwick, The Poplars cottage is fully self-contained, with a well-equipped kitchen, queen-size master bed, cozy single bedroom, dining area, and a charming lounge-library filled with books, antiques, and beautiful paintings.

Your cottage overlooks the farm, where you’ll spot horses, wombats, deer, wallabies, kangaroos, kookaburras, and parrots. The deck, perched above a tranquil creek, is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or a sunset wine while listening to nature’s chorus.

Unplug from the hustle, cozy up by the woodfire in winter or enjoy the fresh air on the deck in summer—this is a place to slow down, relax, and recharge.

Safety Notes

• Cardinia Creek runs through The Poplars Garden and is unfenced. If you are bringing children, please ensure they are supervised around the creek at all times.
• For your safety, please stay within the designated Poplars Airbnb area. The wider farm is a working farm with machinery, tractors, electric fencing, and dams, and is off-limits to guests.
• No smoking and no parties are allowed on the property.

We hope you enjoy your stay at The Poplars and leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and ready to take on the world again!
