“Very relaxing, lovely cozy cottage, spa sauna and fireplace were awesome!”
The Woodcutters cottage was absolutely gorgeous, I loved the beautiful fresh flowers on arrival after a long journey. The spa, sauna and open fire were amazing. The farm is great and the location of the Woodcutters cottage is very private. Lovely hosts highly recommend for couples or families there were a few different styles of cottages, lots to do and see for kids or a private romantic getaway. Pet friendly too, thank you Marissa and Phil for having Luca my border x cattle and I for the 2 night stay, it was a lovely relaxing experience.

“Amazing family fun, animals, games, playground, toasting marshmallows and comfy cottages to feed and warm up ourselves a”
Everything, the location, the animals, the activities, the tractor farm tour, the knowledge of the farmers about their animals and their land was exceptional, they take great pride in their business. This was our second visit, this visit we stayed at the Lodge which was in a separate area to the main farm. The owners help connect you by having feed available, open paddocks and fence line to get over to the main farm and include you in everything happening, but you have a seperate entrance, yard and cottage for a little more privacy if you want it. We had friends visit and they too loved the farm. We will be back again.

“Fun family getaway!”
Beautiful family run farmstay not far out of Torquay that’s perfect for the whole family. Lots of indoor and outdoor toys and play areas provided to entertain the baby, gorgeous decking to enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon beer, and around the clock animal feeding. You can even take the goats for a walk! We stayed in the Lavender Cottage, which felt homely, clean and well equipped with a full kitchen. Everyone was happy and we look forward to our next stay!

“Amazing experience for family and kids”
Really great place for families, our kids (2 under 10) both loved the experience of having pigs and sheep right outside our cottage front porch. Every morning the kids would run out and around to feed the animals, get eggs from the hen, pick some lemons from the orchard, pat the goats etc while parents got some peaceful time preparing breakfast. The kitchen is well equipped, beds are nice and firm, everything was clean and cozy, and I liked how the garbage bags were scented. As we stayed over Christmas, every cottage was furnished with a tree which was very special. The only thing that's missing is a dish washer, though it was a non-issue because I enjoyed doing dishes right in front of a large window looking out to the farm, trees and animals which was therapeutic for us city folks. Overall an amazing experience. A little bit rustic and definitely not a resort, but i suppose that's how it is staying on a working farm. The kids found similar aged friends and had a great time. Location was fantastic and we drove out to the Great Ocean Road twice and went as far as Twelve Apostles. It's about 10min drive to Torquay which had some of the best beaches and lots of supermarkets. Friendly and hard working staff with some of the best fed animals I've seen (the pigs grazed on dragon fruits, kiwis, plums and all kinds of berries all day long, it was a lot of fun feeding them, the kids had a blast)

The farm tour, authenticity of a farm stay or a close replica, no internet - calls for plenty of bonding time!, the fireplace!, the animals and the ability to feed the cows from our stay!, farmer Phillip and Marissa as well as all others on the farm!
