We stayed at Butterfly Farm for one night and were very impressed with the authentic and historical atmosphere of this accommodation. It truly felt like stepping into the home of a landlord from 100 years ago, but with the added conveniences of hot water and electricity. The wooden house, furnished with antique furniture, was set in a peaceful countryside environment, making it a charming and unique experience. The bed was comfortable, and we enjoyed a restful night's sleep, followed by a good English breakfast. The hostess was exceptional and made us feel very welcome.

If you like the charm of yesteryear, then you'll love Butterfly Farm. A beautifully restored Homestead, with a kitchen extension that blends the old with a more modern touch. There are a choice of 2 living spaces within the homestead. The well maintained expansive gardens and numerous potted flowering plants compliment the aspect of the home. John and Karen were very sociable and their hospitality was exceptional. Karen's cooked breakfast was superb.

The Butterfly House was central to everything that we wanted to explore, the owners greeted us when we arrived and showed us the facilities. In the morning, Karen gave us a map of a gourmet trail as well as a local map which had tourist attractions on it and recommended some of those to us.

Nothing, the hosts were so friendly and congratulated us on our wedding anniversary, which was the reason for our trip. The hosts even put on the heater and electric blanket for us so that our room and bed were warm.

The room was very classy and complete. Can't ask for more. It was superb. The hosts were very friendly and chatty. Breakfast was awesome. They made us feel very comfy and welcomed. Highly recommended. Would definitely come back for more.

Just a suggestion, a pair of sandler for use in the room by the guests will be perfect.

Nirranda Butterfly Farm is a fabulous bed and breakfast and a wonderful place to stay while exploring the Great Ocean Road. John and Karen are warm and caring hosts, and will help you make the best use of your time while in the area. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The beds are very comfortable too. There’s lots of space. And it’s very quiet and peaceful. We’d like to visit again.

The house is lovely in a peaceful surrounding at the edge of the Great Ocean Road. We felt welcomed, Karen and John are very nice. We slept well and woke up with the view of the veranda, garden and fields with cows. The breakfast was very good and Karen gave us information and maps for our visits of the great ocean road.

Everything was perfect

Everything. Comfortable, warm, beautifully decorated and styled. Owner was friendly and helpful without being intrusive.

Minor detail-would have liked a bedside table, just something small to put glasses, water bottle, etc on rather than having to put them on the floor overnight

this is a beautifully restored old farmhouse and is decorated with period antiques and furnishings. the grounds are immaculate with gardens and wildflowers and lots of birds. the deluxe suite is large with a very comfortable bed and separate sitting area. great hosts and breakfast made to request. we loved them and our stay. although it’s on the great ocean road it is away from the touristy and cliff side area but only a short drive to some spectacular views.

no a thing

Karen and John were very friendly and accomodating. Karen was helpful in pointing us in the direction of the places to go and see in the area. Breakfast was huge, with great variety, and the home-made bread was appreciated.

Possibly a larger (smart) TV screen in the room, with access to the internet for a wider range of viewing options. But this is being a bit nit-picky, given the rural environment, and our big-city expectations.

This interesting and historic house has been completely restored and is a credit to the owners The hosts are lovely, helpful and very friendly Breakfast was generous and delicious Lovely rural location, we slept well as it was so quiet

If you are planning a visit then best to bring some slippers as you have to leave your shoes at the door Flywire window screens would be good as it’s nice to get fresh air into the bedrooms
