Live in Melbourne? Love Design? Need a break from city living? I think Ross Farm might be the place for your next getaway.
It was a cold August weekend, the fog was low, the scenery was serene and the bed covers were linen. Ross Farm is nestled in the small town of Meeniyan on route to the beautiful Wilsons Promontory area in Victoria. It’s a popular location to escape too and for a very long time I have wanted to stay at the much talked about Ross Farm.
The website does a wonderful job of showing you what it will look like to be there but the way the mist lifts in the morning and the sheep run in the field is something you should seek out to feel for yourself. Wrapped in a blanket we watched the sunset over the damp hills. The green of the grass vibrant with the rainfall of the season.
Snuggled on the deep aged leather sofa, I felt like I was part of something, the earthy design of this place touches something of the essence of local treasures. Each finish was discovered to then melt away into its surroundings. I’m not sure if all the decorative choices were chosen on purpose or have developed over time but I felt like I was able to meld into the surroundings, like I belonged there. The moment of relaxation that I needed arrived in an instant.
The morning light shines through the large windows, the grass filled with due. We use the well stocked kitchen to make breakfast and watch the light as it slowly fills the space, little by little illuminating it in new ways.
There is something truly wonderful about this place. The design and location are one thing but the almost indescribable feeling here is one that everyone should explore.
