It is so hard these days to find a holiday that the whole family will enjoy. We stayed two night with two teenager girls 14 & 15 and they had the best time. Being about to go on the back of the Ute to round up the horses and horse riding through the beautiful forest.
Sitting at the fire at night toasting marshmallows with the two farm dogs either side of them. The family that run the place go above and beyond to make you stay memorable. You can tell they they love what they do and are so patient with the younger children. We cant wait to come back. Best memories that will stay with us forever

We stayed 2 nights mid-week. Took 4 young kids (all under 5) and stayed in the cottage. The grounds are beautiful. The accommodation was lovely and clean. The building isn't anything fancy, its quite old but it all adds to the experience. Was a bit nervous about the dam and 'no sense' 2 year olds'. So need to keep tabs on everyone - and bins in front of gaps in the fence. But we had everything we needed. The little red farm dog was probably my highlight. A wonderful little hostess.

Wow! This farm stay is what I always dream about! Wish we have more time to stay and enjoy the other things the farm has to offer. The cottage house was unique and has most amenities you can imagine. From rice cooker to beds, pillows and towels. The place is massive and our family friends kids were able to enjoy running, climbing and exhausting themselves on on the playground and checking out the farm animals. We were able to use the telly after my sister figured and stuck on to get the receiver working. One of the best part was in the morning where all the sheep were out and we could take video
