Shepherds Hill Shearers Quarters

Shepherds Hill Shearers Quarters is a private and peaceful property in the stunning Macedon Ranges. Located in Lauriston, Victoria on a working alpaca farm, it is surrounded by extensive grounds including paddocks and a lily pond.

Your hosts, Liz and Keith, recently undertook extensive renovations of this 40 year old space with comfort and sustainability at the forefront of their design. Doors and windows from the original building have been reused and original timbers plus sustainable plywood were used for some construction and modern features.

The Space

Sleeping up to four guests, there are two queen size beds in the two mezzanine sleeping areas above the living room and kitchen. Both are fitted with the softest alpaca quilts, pillows and throws, and electric blankets for the cooler months. There is also a reverse cycle split system upstairs to ensure your comfort all year round.

The fully-equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, Belling range cooker and Smeg appliances including a coffee machine. Breakfast is supplied for your first morning, including local sourdough & preserves, cereals, home-laid eggs, milk, butter and juice. Cooking essentials, teas, and coffee are also provided.

The accompanying living and dining areas are heated with a wood fireplace and are furnished with comfortable armchairs for you to sit back and relax in with a good book and glass of local wine. The bathroom features a walk-in shower and separate toilet with underfloor heating and heated towel rack making this one of the cosiest spaces in the quarters. 

Outside you have a sheltered veranda to sit under for your morning coffee or the small lily pond to sit by and watch the changing light as evening descends.
