SLOW STAYS

Setting a blueprint for conscious travel, Five Acres offers three luxurious pavilions – Barley, Clover and Rye – on a working micro-farm on Phillip Island, around two hours’ drive from Melbourne. Powered by solar and fed by rainwater, the adults-only cabins are lined with timber and filled with bespoke furniture, locally-sourced artworks and decor, and feature custom-made outdoor concrete bathtubs. Order one of owner Katie’s grazing platters to enjoy with your complimentary gin on arrival and enjoy gazing out over the farm where a menagerie of farm animals, including shaggy Scottish Highland cows, Rory and Ivy, have right of way.
