We loved our stay at Tonveldia. We thoroughly enjoyed the rural experience, surrounded by nature yet just minutes away from shopping centres and the vibrant Melbourne city. The farm's location is ideal—close to everything, including the beautiful beaches, which are only 40 minutes away. We stayed in a private pad with a pond, where ducks would gracefully fly overhead and land in the water, adding a lovely touch to the peaceful atmosphere. The horses, kept nearby, were always there to greet us in the morning, which was a delightful way to start each day. The farm is impeccably clean and well-maintained. The bathroom, though compact, provided all the essentials and was always tidy and functional. The ambience at Tonveldia is incredibly peaceful, and Diana, the owner, is warm and welcoming, offering helpful tips about the area while respecting your privacy. The nearby Dandenong Ranges offers beautiful tracks for hiking and exploration, and while the price may be a little higher, the proximity to Melbourne and the serene farm environment make it well worth it. Overall, it’s a perfect getaway for those who love nature and farm animals, but also appreciate the convenience of being near the city.
