Shepherds Hill Shearers Quarters

A contemporary farm retreat designed for privacy, design and quiet connection

Shepherds Hill Shearers Quarters is a private, light-filled retreat set on our working alpaca farm in the heart of the Macedon Ranges. Surrounded by open paddocks, mature trees and a tranquil lily pond, it offers a peaceful escape with a more contemporary feel.

Recently renovated by your hosts, Liz and Keith, the Shearers Quarters has been thoughtfully reimagined with comfort and sustainability at its core. Original doors, windows and timbers have been carefully reused, complemented by sustainable materials and modern design features that allow the space to feel both grounded and refined.

The Space

Sleeping up to four guests, the Shearers Quarters features two queen beds set within mezzanine sleeping areas above the living space and kitchen. Each is fitted with luxurious alpaca quilts, pillows and throws, electric blankets, and climate control to ensure year-round comfort, including a reverse-cycle split system upstairs.

The fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, Belling range cooker and Smeg appliances, including a coffee machine. Breakfast is supplied for your first morning, featuring local sourdough and preserves, home-laid eggs, milk, and butter, along with cooking essentials, teas and coffee.

The open-plan living and dining area is warmed by a wood fireplace and furnished with comfortable armchairs – an inviting place to unwind with a book or enjoy a glass of local wine as the day fades. The bathroom is a standout feature, offering a walk-in shower, underfloor heating, heated towel rail and separate toilet, creating one of the cosiest spaces in the Quarters.

Outside, a sheltered veranda invites slow mornings with coffee in hand, while the nearby lily pond provides a quiet spot to sit and watch the changing light as evening settles across the farm.
