Summer arrives gently in Victoria’s Central Highlands — long warm days, cool country evenings, and the sweet scent of ripening berries drifting across the paddocks. At Little Hampton Farm, summer is a season of abundance. Cherries, blueberries, and strawberries burst into colour, the gardens hum with life, and the farm becomes a peaceful escape for couples seeking connection, calm, and a touch of country magic.
Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend away, a wellness‑focused couples retreat, or a slow summer farm stay near Daylesford and Trentham, Little Hampton Farm offers a place to breathe deeply and settle into nature.
A Season of Berries: Cherries, Blueberries & Strawberries
Summer on the farm is synonymous with fresh fruit. The region is known for its rich volcanic soil and cool climate, making it one of Victoria’s best areas for berry lovers.
• Cherries arrive first — glossy, sweet, and perfect for grazing platters or sunset picnics.
• Blueberries follow, plump and bursting with flavour, ideal for breakfast bowls or a refreshing afternoon snack.
• Strawberries round out the season, bright and fragrant, often enjoyed straight from the punnet on the deck.
Guests staying at Little Hampton Farm during summer often find a seasonal selection waiting for them — a small gesture that captures the simple pleasures of farm life.
Couples Retreats Designed for Slow Summer Living
Our Couples Wellness Retreat is especially beautiful in summer. Warm mornings invite slow movement, gentle stretching, and time spent outdoors. Evenings cool down just enough for cosy blankets, stargazing, and long conversations under the wide country sky.
Your retreat includes:
• One or Two nights in our private farm accommodation with views of the Wombat Forest
• A seasonal grazing basket featuring local summer produce
• Space to reconnect, unwind, and savour the quiet
It’s the kind of summer escape that feels restorative rather than rushed — a chance to step away from the noise and settle into a slower rhythm.
Add massages and a private yoga session
Inhouse dining can be arranged to include Pizzas and Seasonal grazing board with cheese, meats, fruit and Wine – that way you don’t have to leave the farm and can relax and enjoy the beautiful surrounds.
