The perfect getaway for a family break with the kids, a girls get together weekend or a trip away with good friends to a farm by the sea.
This is a beautifully located house looking over the ocean on a 13 hectare farm which sleeps 6-7 comfortably.

Amazing and Relaxing stay

The location has a great view of the ocean and the farm. The bedrooms are large and the lounge has a nice view. Feeding animal could be a special experience for the kids. The property manager is a nice person and very careful. No stress in check-in and check-out. Overall we had a great experience and would like to go back there again.

Resort style living on a farm

What an amazing property, we seriously did not want to leave. The place was beautiful, the rooms were comfortable, the outdoor area leading to the breathtaking view of the beach and farm was extraordinary. We fed the farm animals and we took our family dog, they accommodated our pet and made sure they put chicken wire around the farm to ensure our dog didn’t get out. I cannot think of a better place to stay, we are extremely thankful to the owner for accomodating us.

Views to die for - if i won lotto i would buy this place for sure. Communcations and check in - flawless. Kemble was so welcoming and check in was so easy. I feel guilty saying this as the owners were sooo nice. The place just needed a good clean in some areas & spray for critters. The bathrooms and beds were very clean & beds and pillows were great. As the house gets quite hot it needed screens on the entry door. The farm animals are sooo cute & my granddaughter loved feeding them.

Amazing venue

Our family of 4 loved our stay at Casa del Mare. The views from the headland and the absolutely amazingly large pool were sensational. The property manager, Kemble was easy, friendly and professional, he gave us fantastic rundown of the property and was quick to respond when we had a query. The check in process was easy. We loved the feeding the animals on the property, they were a daily highlight. The walks to both beaches are really easy and quick and bonus for the dog that they were off leash so she could enjoy as much as we did. Would definitely love to book again.

A little piece of paradise...... We felt like at home.

Thanks to Kemble for the call the day before, extending his welcome & giving us a rundown of the property & farm. Reiterating never hesitate calling him for anything. We had the pleasure of meeting Jan & Brian the owners. Jan greeted and welcomed us with of fresh bunch of frangipanis, goodies for the kids, and a bottle of Prosecco & Peronis in the fridge. Thanks! The farm, wow the views. This isn’t just any farm. It felt more like a farm on an island, so tranquil and relaxing. The home is beautiful, Hampton styled. Fresh, clean with natural light and air flowing all around. A heated pool with divine views of the ocean, and birds-eye 180 degrees views of the coast and farm from the lounge and off the balcony. Tranquil views waking up to the sun rising from the north over breakfast, and watching the sun set in the evenings over dinner, listening to the waves crashing. We enjoyed feeding daily the Shetland ponies, sheep, goat, alpaca, geese and ducks. Then venturing down to the island filled with rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks, geese and bush turkeys. Brian thanks for taking our daughter Brooke on a tractor ride around the farm. Seeing and listening to your stories about the farm, the hard work, how you created the rainforest and island on the farm, to the bulls you had, and your own museum filled with Elvis memorabilia. Mind blowing! It was a pleasure to have met the owners Brian & Jan, and know they were on the farm. They are the friendliest, warm and welcoming people we have met during our getaways. Ensuring our stay was pleasant & checking in to see if we needed anything. We had a wonderful weekend getaway to unwind. Unwind we did, and enjoyed every bit of our time. Our kids loved the farm so much, they didn’t want to leave. We’ll definitely be back. Anyone wanting to unwind, relax and after some peaceful tranquillity, this farm has all that to offer and much more for every member of the family no matter the age. Best farm & Hosts in NSW! Thank you to Brian & Jan for sharing their piece of paradise with us. The farm showed us what life really can /should be like. The soothing calmness natured and the farm offered, sure makes you re-assess life in the fast lane. We miss the farm and it's tranquility. It was a pleasure to meet you both. We definitely will be making another visit in the near future.

Magic location, great for kids.

My family and I spent a wonderful weekend at Casa del Mare. The host was super friendly and helpful, thanks Kemble. My kids loved the pool and friendly farm animals. The only things I think that could be improved was better insect screening on doors and windows and a gate on the stairs leading down to the front yard to keep dogs in. Would definitely love to come back.

Farm + Beach + Pool - absolute bliss!!!

Stayed here for 5 days in March when my in-laws were out from the UK. We all absolutely loved the place. Kids had a ball feeding all the animals daily and collecting the eggs for breakfast. Pool is arguably the best pool I have seen at a rental property, a private beach only a 5 minute walk down the hill and Forster a 20 minute drive away for meals and shopping. Host went above and beyond to make sure we were ok in getting there and getting home due to the floods in NSW at the time and a lot of good insights into what to do around the place and where to eat etc. We will be back again and again and again !!!

An amazing house at an amazing location

We just spent 3 nights at this amazing property and it was one of the best holidays we had as a family. The house was very clean and very well setup with elegant seaside colors. We had uninterrupted seaview from the living area. Having a cuppa in the morning watching the sunrise was the best experience. The pool with a view is the favorite part for my kids, water was beautiful and they spent half of the holiday in it. They also enjoyed feeding the animals on the farm and exploring the land. Communication with the owner was so easy. Kemble made sure we get most out of our stay, providing great advice with things we can do. All in all, wouldn't hesitate to come back again when we have another chance. PS the beach down the bottom of the property is full of rocks, not good for swimming. If it's a swim you are after, go to the nearby Black Head beach or Diamond beach, which is only a few minutes drive away.

Paradise on Earth

The property is very comfortable for a family of 5-6 with a beautiful pool and the views of the farm and the ocean & beach are unreal. It was wonderful waking up to sunrise and enjoy the peace and views. Kids loved feeding the animals and exploring the farm and the bushes. The owners were more than accommodating and constantly available to talk to. We'll definitely go back.

The most wholesome, relaxing family weekend getaway.

We had the most amazing weekend at the gorgeous Casa Del Mare. Stunning 270 degree ocean views over rolling green farm hills. Our toddler had an excellent time feeding and patting the animals too. The house had everything we needed and the hosts went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing stay. Can’t recommend it enough, look forward to coming back for another mini getaway.

A Wonderful Family Experience

It's so rare to stay on a farm, in a house on a hill, with panoramic water views and walks everywhere. The boys were enamoured with picking oranges and mandarins from the orchard, checking for eggs each day and feeding the sheep, ponies and alpacas. The family of the owners were nearby and were delightful. So proud of their farm and keen for us to explore. The walks to the beaches via whale watching platforms were magnificent. We even got to fly a kite just outside the house. The kids said it was the best trip ever. My wife relaxed and the dog slept for two days afterwards. We're going back.
