Langbrook Farm, 'Vista 1', Yarra Valley. Animals, wildlife, spectacular views.

Vista 1 at Langbrook Farm – A Little Ooh La La in the Country

Vista 1 is what happens when crisp country air, stylish comforts and a touch of “ooh la la” come together on a working farm. Think breathtaking mountain views, genuine peace and quiet, and the kind of escape where you lose track of what day it is — in the very best way.

Set on 300 acres in the heart of the Upper Yarra Valley, Langbrook Farm is one of the region’s best-kept secrets. Surrounded by the magnificent Yarra Ranges, rolling farmland and abundant wildlife, it’s a place to slow down, breathe deeply and rediscover the simple pleasure of doing very little.

Vista 1 is a beautifully appointed, fully self-contained one-bedroom apartment designed for couples who appreciate comfort, space and a little indulgence.

Inside, you’ll find:

A king-size bed that practically begs you to sleep in.

A spacious lounge and dining area for lazy mornings, relaxed evenings and everything in between.

A fully equipped kitchen, ready for anything from a leisurely cheese platter to a home-cooked feast — or simply reheating the leftovers from that fabulous winery lunch.

A private verandah with front-row views of the Yarra Ranges and our beautiful farmland.

A cosy wood fire, with firewood supplied for those cooler country evenings.

A Smart TV for movie nights when venturing any further than the couch feels like far too much effort.

We supply breakfast for your first morning plus brag about our freshly baked bread! Also there are cereals, yoghurt, fruit, milk, butter, condiments and coffees and teas that will kick start your day!

Step outside with your morning coffee and watch the farm come to life with the usual busyness of running managing 300acres. Pour a glass of wine as the sun begins to set and watch the animals and wildlife have their last feed before resting up. Keep an eye out for kangaroos or passing through the paddocks or our handsome French Charolais cattle grazing nearby. Here, the scenery is always changing, and the best seat in the house is often your own verandah.

Hot tub sunsets and country evenings are a speciality here.

As the afternoon fades, sink into the shared hot tub (just book your time slot when you arrive) and take in the views as the sky puts on its evening show. It’s a pretty special way to finish the day whether you’ve spent it exploring local wineries, wandering nearby trails or simply enjoying the luxury of having nowhere else to be.

There’s also a tennis court for those who like a little friendly competition and a fire pit for gathering beneath the stars. Or perhaps you’d rather curl up beside the wood fire with a good book and let the rest of the world wait.

Vista 1 is equal parts romantic escape, countryside retreat and permission slip to do absolutely nothing.

Langbrook Farm is more than a beautiful place to stay — it’s a working farm with a story to tell.

Our 15-acre vineyard produces Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, while a tucked-away truffière of French oak trees offers the promise of an underground delicacy. We’ve planted thousands of indigenous trees over the past five years, with plenty more planting still to come.

Look skywards for soaring wedge-tailed eagles, keep your eyes peeled for shy koalas in the manna gums, and watch for kangaroos and wallabies moving through the property. Wombats sometimes make their presence known after dark while our French Charolais cattle and their calves provide plenty of entertainment in the paddocks. Those mums certainly have their work cut out for them!

You can also feed the chickens and ducks, discover our new bees, or simply sit back and watch the gentle rhythm of farm life unfold.

For a change of scenery, follow the laneway walk towards the old dam, passing the vineyard and French oaks along the way. It’s a lovely opportunity to stretch your legs, take in the landscape and enjoy the quieter side of the Upper Yarra Valley.

Explore, unwind or do a little of both

While it’s tempting to stay put and soak up the tranquillity, there’s plenty to discover nearby. Explore the region’s wineries, enjoy local food and country pubs, wander forest trails or venture into the surrounding Yarra Valley and Warburton area.

Or don't make a plan at all. Some of the best holidays are the ones where breakfast stretches into brunch, the afternoon disappears on the verandah, and the only decision is whether to have another coffee or pour a glass of wine.

Bringing family or friends?

Sometimes the best memories are made when everyone comes along. For a larger family getaway or a catch-up with friends, consider booking both Vista apartments or exploring our spacious two-bedroom Cottage, with its own private swimming pool, wood fire and billiard table.

Everyone can enjoy their own comfortable space while sharing the experience of Langbrook Farm.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, planning a romantic weekend or simply craving a reset from the everyday, Vista 1 offers a little country luxury without the fuss.

Because the photos might catch the views but they can’t quite capture the feeling of waking to the mountains, hearing the birds, watching the cattle graze and realising you’ve finally switched off.

Come for the views. Stay for the tranquillity. Leave feeling like you’ve properly exhaled.

We look forward to welcoming you to Langbrook Farm.
