60s Family Celebrations!!
Fabulous weekend ! We booked Friday ,Saturday and Sunday nights to make the most of our stay. There were 9 of us ranging in age from 23 to 93 and we all easily found something to love! John and his family made us feel at home from the minute we arrived and nothing was too much trouble. We drove and walked the property to get some great views, collect oranges and lemons and cuddle baby goats and chickens , we were spoilt the fresh bread, honey and eggs. We spent most meal times in the banqueting barn with the highlight being our 60s night with outfits and 60s music. We all got into the pool comp, lit the fire pit and toasted marshmallows. The farmhouse was perfect with super huge bedrooms and beds, great kitchen, huge tv and a fireplace. A great weekend.

Bookclub Weekend awat
There were 9 of us that belong to a Bookclub and we booked Mariefields for our annual weekend away. All I can say is WOW! Hosts weren’t over and beyond to accomodate us and make us feel comfortable. The house had all the luxuries and more and it was very clean. Loved all the animals especially the baby goats. Highly recommend Mariefields - can’t fault anything.

Mariefields Farm Stay!!!
As a family of 8 adults and 6 children, we thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay at Mariefields Farm Stay. The location was fantastic. With views of the mountains overlooking each direction, chickens, roosters, guinea fowls, ducks, cows and goats to wake up to each day and go visit, goats to feed, bush walking, creeks to see and vast farm land for the kids to explore, there was never a dull moment. Lots of frogs could be spotted too at night time. From the moment we arrived, John and Carol warmly welcomed us in and showed us around on their tractor. They would provide us fresh organic eggs each morning and check in to make sure everything was fine and if we needed anything or even just for a friendly chat. The weather is at just the right temperature, not reaching too hot or too cold. It was raining most days when we stayed the first week early Jan 2022 but that made it more fun and brought the feeling of being on a farm to life more. Definitely bring along gumboots for everyone as it can be a little muddy but they do have a box outside the house with some extras. There is a fireplace, a trampoline, 3 queen size beds in seperate bedrooms, and 4 single beds in 3 seperate rooms. One of those rooms could have the two single beds pushed together if needed. The large kitchen, laundry and 2 large showers all had modern facilities. A modern stove and oven, large fridge, washing machine and all utensils. All essentials were provided too; washing up detergent, laundry detergent and liquid, soap and shampoo and conditioner with good quality products. There is a seperate room located near the house where you can have a BBQ and sit at large wooden benches and play pool and other board games. There is a large verandah perfect for outdoor relaxing and eating out on too. The farm is located in a quiet location with small corner shops and a tavern 10-15 mins away in Tyalgum. Also, around 50 mins drive will take you back out to Tweed Heads where you can have the best of both world's and enjoy the coastal life as well with many beaches, lakes, parks, and big shopping centres. When it was raining in Pumpenbill at the farm stay, we often found the opposite weather at Tweed Heads with it being bright and sunny, making it a fun day out at the beach. We would highly recommend this farm stay for large families who would like to escape the busy city life for a few days!
