About this space

Tucked away in the heart of the Yarra Ranges, The Potterage is a character-rich farmhouse inspired by Tuscan and French provincial design. Modest in footprint but rich in visual texture, this location offers a rustic, romantic setting across a quarter acre of gardens—making it an ideal backdrop for portraits, weddings, fashion, homewares, jewellery, and lifestyle product photography.

The architecture is warm and authentic, with 6-metre-high ceilings that add air and scale to the shoot experience. Double barn doors provide both aesthetic charm and practical ease, allowing for effortless equipment access and beautiful, frameable entrances. Natural light moves through the home throughout the day, softening the rustic interior and highlighting its patina-rich features—from aged timber textures to raw finishes that bring a sense of lived-in story.

Every corner of The Potterage is styled with subtlety and restraint, allowing the architecture and surrounding landscape to shine. This isn’t a highly polished studio—it’s a location that feels timeless, tactile, and grounded in place. Whether you’re styling a slow fashion editorial, capturing hand-crafted jewellery, filming promotional content, or building a seasonal homewares campaign, the farmhouse offers a versatile canvas with a strong identity.

Outdoors, the gardens provide a layered, romantic setting with plenty of space to work across multiple vignettes. The environment invites slow, natural storytelling—whether you’re shooting portraits beneath the trees or using the farmhouse as a textured backdrop for styled product work.

Parking for up to six cars onsite (plus additional free parking nearby) makes this a practical choice for larger teams, and with its private, by-appointment-only access, you’ll have the space and privacy needed to create without interruption.

For shoots seeking atmosphere, texture, and a rustic European sensibility, The Potterage offers a charming and creative space grounded in the landscape of the Yarra Ranges.
