Tiny Jemima is cradled amongst the gums in the rocky heartlands of Central Victoria. Set alongside a small billabong, it is a stay like no other. Leafy tall gums dotted with native scrub frame tranquil views across the water and set a spell-binding place to curl up and enjoy the abundant native birds and animals.

Named after the memorable character of Jemima Puddle-duck, from Beatrix Potter’s charming children’s books. Unmistakably Australian in flavour, Jemima offers a naturally relaxed yet bush-perfect setting.

Jemima lives on a beautiful property that is an easy 1.5-hour drive from Melbourne. On route to Jemima, stop in at the local towns and stock up on flavoursome produce and then escape to your haven. 

Venturing out, the region offers delights in every direction from watching sunsets at the top of the hill on the property, exploring local forests, water activities at Lake Eppalock, to exploring world-class producers and culinary delights from Australia’s only UNESCO City of Gastronomy, Bendigo, which is a 30-minute drive away.
