I had a wonderful stay, the room was very comfortable and what was provided exceeded expectations. The host was very friendly and helpful, and it is a great property with views and beautiful animals to enjoy. I would have loved to have more time there to explore and just enjoy the nature. I hope to visit again!

We had a great time unwinding after the hustle and bustle of the city. Narelli was extremely hospitable. The place was clean and had a fully equipped kitchen with numerous appliances (coffee pod machine, toaster, air fryer, waffle maker, hotplate, as well as all the cutlery and wine glasses).There is also a pizza oven and a grill outside, and the fridge was generously stocked with eggs, ham, condiments, pizza bases, butter, jams, cocoa, and a variety of teas.The toilet and shower (with hot water) are located in the same room as a kitchenette, but it was comfortable for my husband and me.The animals are friendly, though some are a bit shy — the horses are happy to be patted, and chickens roam around freely, which adds to the homely feel.The property is also easy to access by 2WD (we drove a Toyota Corolla and had no issues). I definitely reccomend this place
Great location. The bungalow is in fantastic condition and the host was absolutely amazing and welcoming. The farm animals were great to meet and interact with. Would stay again. Highly recommend

The perfect stay and host as I made my way down driving from Syd to Melb. Narelle was so responsive and prepared free breakfast according to my dietary requirements (halal) without me asking. I ended up staying another night as the comfort and warmth of the home, animals and nature was too beautiful to resist. It’s beautiful to see the mutual care and connection between Narelle and the rescued animals. Thanks so much

Absolutely loved this place!! A friend of ours referred it as a place we could take our macaw and free fly and it didn’t disappoint.The room was beautiful, well equipped and the welcoming touches were appreciated.The property is beautiful and we saw so much wildlife. We hiked for hours and a kangaroo followed us the entire way. We felt like we were on the movie set of Skippy.Best of all was cooking a BBQ and watching sunrise as Maverick flew around the property.Highly recommeded. An easy drive from Sydney, super stylish accommodation with everything you need,The host even located a large parrot cage for Maverick right next to our accommodation and undercover for when he wasn’t flying. Truly brilliant. We’ll be back (regularly)!

Narelle was an absolutely wonderful host she made us feel very welcomed during our stay. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable, and the farm setting was beautiful. We loved seeing all the animals, they added such a special touch to the experience. Narelle’s place is the perfect farm stay for a relaxing weekend getaway, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly.Thank you again Narelle!
