A home within an “almost zoo!”
At the end of a 2km dirt road you’ll find this expansive property with modest (extremely comfortable) properties (miners cabins.) Our property had 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, very compact, comfortable and had everything we needed. The beds were super comfy, the bathroom was quite small, but our hosts had provided all the special touches. The highlight was what the sanctuary was all about…. they are an active rescue sanctuary for a wide range of animals. Thomas the Turkey escorted us around “his” property like a regal soldier. Goats, peacocks, lambs, spectacular ostriches, Shetland ponies, deers, ducks, pigeons, pigs… the list goes on! We could’ve spent weeks appreciating the love this sanctuary gives these animals! The only downside for us was that we brought our 2 dogs that are not really socialised, and definitely not familiar with wild animals. Don’t get me wrong, our hosts were most welcoming and encouraged us to take our dogs (on lead) around the farm… but we didn’t want to terrorise the poor animals! So the problem was more with us than the lovely place! Also, the cottage didn’t have a secure yard… we should’ve read that first… again, our mistake, not the hosts! But our dogs were welcome inside the house, and cuddled up with us in the evening We loved our stay and highly recommend it!

An amazing place to stay with amazing hosts. We couldn't recommend Wiluna Sanctuary more to those wanting to relax, explore the region and pat beautiful animals. Our kids were in heaven! The cottage had everything you could need and we loved the freedom we had to explore the property and connect with the animals. It was a short dirve to everything and the pool was perfect for cooling off in the afternoon. We'll be back for sure.

A lovely family friendly farm stay experience. Our host wad wonderful! She took us around to feed her animals multiple times, explaining everything and letting us and the kids experience her wildlife sanctuary. We really appreciated her efforts. The kids had the best time! The cabin itself was clean, well presented, comfortable and had what we needed for our 2 night stay. Thank you so much! We will be keeping up to date on your animals on social media and will look forward to coming back.

Amazing experience in exceptional surrounds
Wow!! What can I say except that Willuna Sanctuary was the ultimate family escape that we all needed!! Right from the get go Theresa and her family welcomed us with open arms and was so friendly and inviting without being obtrusive at any point! The little cabins were very quaint and had everything we needed for comfort and the surrounds were just magnificent with so much to explore. There are animals galore that you can really get up close and personal with and plenty of space for the kids to roam around. So many added bonuses as well which was a really lovely surprise such as a pony ride for the kids, cuddles with a Guinea Pig and a tractor ride around the farm to feed the animals!! There was even a quad bike for the big kids (ie adults) to enjoy!! This is one winter break we will never forget and would love to return to one day!!

Willuna Delight
We had an awesome weekend at Willuna Sanctuary. The cabin was clean, cozy, and catered to our needs. Our host Theresa took us around in the back of a Can-Am vehicle for a farm tour and to feed the animals. Theresa was very informative about the animals and property. The farm barn was the highlight with it's central open fire, barbecue, tables, lighting, fridge, pantry, and a small area to hook up some music. The barn is communal and is a great place to meet people from the neighbouring cabin and the owners to enjoy a night after daytime activities around the area. The property is a central point for outdoor activities around Beechworth, Bright, Chiltern, Myrtleford, and Mt. Buffalo. We highly recommend a visit to Eurobin Falls and the summit of Mt. Pilot to view a stunning sunset. Our 2 small dogs were with us and utilized the kennels provided while we were out exploring the National Park (no dogs allowed in National Park) and they had a ball playing with the other dogs on the property. Theresa and Matti have done an amazing job to maintain the property and animals. They are very welcoming and we will certainly be going back there again in the near future.
