Wingo, Heidi, Jazz, Vanessa, Kira and Bruce the fluffy head chickens. MILLIE-
Our beautiful 12 month old Maremma has joined the team as well.
Millie is here to learn to protect our animals and our property from predators such as foxes and snakes.
Shes is extremely friendly and playful but please do not call out to her or encourage her to approach you as her as she is on a strict training regime to learn to protect our animals.
It is extremely detrimental to her training if she is given any attention.
Maremmas have a very different mindset to domestic dogs and even other working dogs. After a maremma matures they really need to have a job and feel useful to the farm. Or they become a hinderance- to people and animals. If they aren't trained well they unfortunately will start to kill animals thinking she is protecting people and therefore will not be good for the farm.
We need her to think the animals are much more fun to be around than humans!
If she comes up to you, let her do her
'maremma stretch' and sniff you.
Please do not play with her or cuddle her.
If she tries to jump on you, tell her in a stern voice 'no' and turn away.
She does take to sleeping on the deck now and again, this is her trying to protecting you. If she is a bother please let us know but it is her job to protect our farm so she will usually try and suss out who is were and once she is happy she knows what's going on she will head back to the animals.
She is extremely sweet and has a brilliant nature, we promise she is totally loved!
If you have small children please let me know and when you arrive I will come and have a chat to you all.
It is extremely important everyone is aware of the rules for Millie’s training and your own well-being.

Our resident koala is Patty and we have an amazing flock of random birds, visiting lizard
and of course our beautiful grazing kangaroos.
Although we are a very boutique farm, we are always working on our sustainability, learning more about regenerative farming and how we can do better for our environment and our future generations.
We have scrap buckets in our Cellar House and unit accommodation if you'd like to help us feed our crazy chickens.
Don't let them fool you into thinking they are starving... A lot of our hyline brown hens are rescue chickens. They were raised in cages so the only exciting thing in their life was food.
Our girls generally spend all day outside, scratching around the property!
(please just check with us before feeding)

Feeling ripped off.
We had a mixed experience during our stay, making the most of our trip, but the overall situation left us quite frustrated. Firstly, an unexpected farm dog joined us, a detail not mentioned in the ad or confirmed by the owner beforehand. This posed a significant challenge as my wife and mother are uncomfortable around dogs due to past traumatic experiences. The lack of prior notice disrupted our plans, limiting us to the patio and impacting our overall enjoyment. Despite efforts to close off the patio, the dog roamed freely, leading to a traumatic incident with my nephew near the pool. The condition of the house was disappointing; filthy walls, doors, and windows covered in cobwebs and spiders. Cleaning became a necessity before we could even consider sitting down. The patio and barbecue were also dirty, requiring us to leave the house cleaner than we found it. While we understand it's a farm, the level of cleanliness fell short of our expectations given the amount we paid. Several amenities further added to our dissatisfaction. The pool table lacked usable cues, the dishwasher was non-functional, forcing us to clean by hand. The main TV didn't work, and we had to resort to connecting a Nintendo Switch for entertainment. Additionally, insufficient lighting, especially on the patio with the best view, limited our enjoyment during the evenings. In hindsight, we should have considered requesting a refund upon arrival due to the unexpected challenges and subpar conditions.

We are so happy we can continue to share the beauty of our farm with wonderful guests like you!
We are learning so much about sustainability and are always adding to our ever growing collection of farm animals to help service our property, to love and keep us entertained!
We love staying at the farm as often as we can and also have a fantastic manager on board who is only ever a phone call away.
