The Space

Our vision is simple, and reflects our commitment to providing eco-friendly accommodation to our guests in a way that limits our carbon footprint. The style of all our properties has an emphasis on vintage and second hand furnishings and equipment, this gives our home a relaxed and laid back feel, and allows you really really enjoy yourselves and unwind. There is both an indoor slow combustion fireplace and an outdoor bonfire pit as well as an outdoor BBQ.

House Layout

The farmstay has an open plan living and kitchen space with vaulted ceilings to allow for air and light. It has two bedrooms, the main bedroom has a queen sized bed and there are two single beds in the second bedroom. The bathroom has a bathtub and shower and laundry facilities.

We can sleep an extra two guests if they are happy to sleep on two single mattresses which can be set up in the living space.    We supply a kinder cot for your infant, but we ask that you bring your own bedding for that. A kinder cot is a lightweight travel cot that looks like a pop up tent and sits on the floor.

Dog Friendly Farm Stays NSW  (Dog Policy)

This is our only pet friendly farmstay, however all dogs must stay outside at all times, so we can manage the needs of all our guests, particularly those with allergies. When you arrive at our farm we will collect a $100 cash bond from you when we check you in, to cover any accidental damage your dog may cause whilst you are here, this is refunded upon your departure. Please have this ready for us when you arrive.

We now only allow small, well trained dogs at our property, we no longer accept puppies or large, high energy dogs. Please ensure you check with us before booking to avoid any disappointment and please let us know the age and breed of your dog when booking with us.

Dogs can often find our farmstay quite stressful as they are out of their usual environment and surrounded by many farm animals and unfamiliar smells. Please consider taking them  with you each day for the first few days at least until they settle in properly as they can often fret and bark all day when left at home, disturbing our neighbours and other guests on the farm.

We have a comfortable verandah and enclosed back yard for your dogs to stay cozy and dry. If your dogs are not comfortable around our chickens and farm animals please put them on a lead when moving around the farm. The goats live in the paddock directly behind your house, and Betty is very aggressive with dogs, so please do not allow them to engage with the goats at any time. We have a large paddock in front of your house where your dogs can have a run around without impacting on our farm animals. Please bring your dogs bedding and food bowls. We ask that you ensure your dogs are flea free for their stay with us.

We have an outdoor daybed area (two single sized day beds) that we don’t want your dogs on, we understand that this is not always possible to manage, if you head out for the day and leave them at home. So, please bring spare covers or blankets to go over the top of our daybeds and cushions to protect them from accidental damage and stains from your dogs jumping up on them.

Please note that when you book your stay with us you are agreeing to our dog policy above.

Extra Guests Overnight

You may not have friends stay over night without incurring an extra charge. Please notify us if you would like to have guests stay over with you so we can adjust the price accordingly.

Extra guests $25 per person per night

 Interaction with Us

We run a busy farm, but we are always happy to make time for you. Either I or my onsite  farm sitters will come and greet you (not always as soon as you arrive) and explain how everything works and where everything is, then we will leave you to your holiday. We really want you to have a wonderful time here, and as such nothing is too difficult for us, so please feel free to ask for anything you many need to make your stay more comfortable. We also have a comprehensive guest information folder that explains everything to you, so please read through that carefully when you arrive to ensure a smooth and safe stay on our farm.   We are happy for you to walk up and visit us if we’re home and for your children to play with ours.
