Wonderful hosts very friendly. The cottage was immaculate. Great place for kids as they loved interacting with the baby animals. So much to do from fishing and boating to exploring the farm and feeding the animals.Highly recommended family holiday!

Loved our stay. The hosts were so accommodating and friendly. The farm is beautiful with lots of animals and the opportunity to see the animals throughout the stay with a daily morning tour of the farm as well. The cottage is just wonderful and well stocked it felt like home.

Fantastic farm stay! Beautifully appointed home, the lovely hosts have thought of every detail including a Christmas tree (we stayed in December). From the gourmet kitchen with coffee maker to the farmyard nursery, we wouldn’t change a thing and our family is already thinking about when we can return. Thank you!

Great place for families

We had a lovely holiday at The Hatch. Susan was very friendly and went the extra mile to give the kids some great experiences with the baby animals. The cottage had everything we needed and it was easy to get to the beaches and restaurants Port Macquarie.

The BEST place we have ever stayed!

We enjoyed the warmest, most welcoming experience at The Hatch Farm. Our kids have spoken about how much they loved their time there and how kind Bernard and Susan both are. We will absolutely be back again. Thank you so so much for giving us all a wonderful stay.

Cute farm stay

Great accomodation at the cottage in a beautiful location. Such wonderful hosts and lots of great activities for the kids - kayaking, baby animals, adopt a puppy. It was so great to recharge and let the kids run free. Highly recommended!

Absolutely wonderful stay. The house was fantastic. Very comfortable. The bathroom was particularly amazing. Loved having all the animals around. Plenty to do both on the farm and around the local area. The hosts were wonderful, lots of advice on things to do and very responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely come and stay again if it’s available.

Best farm stay ever

I have never seen a farm stay as clean and modern as this one. The property was so clean amd it has been fully renovated. Great location with only 15 mins drive away from port Macquarie. Big thank you to Sue and Mag helping out on check in and sorting out the BBQ. The complimentary animal tour brings a lot of fun too. This will be my accomodation for my next trip to Port Macquarie

Fabulous farm stay on the river with plenty to see and do.

Bernard and Susan welcomed us to their property and shared their beautiful animals and with us. The kids loved playing with the dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs. There was paddling on the river, jumping on the trampoline and joining in at animal feeding time. The property was a short drive to Port Macquarie and we also went strawberry picking just up the road. We enjoyed our stop over on the way to QLD and the home was clean and comfortable and roomy enough for our family of 6. Thank you, we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Farm Cottage

We all loved staying in this very comfortable, cozy, & quiet cottage. Everything about it was perfect. Surrounded by farm animals, ponies, goats, puppies, & bunnies! And the river with kayaks! We didn’t miss not having a good wifi connection, because there were so many things to do, & all a short drive from Port Macquarie. My only regret is that we didn’t have time to stay longer. But I do hope to return 😁 Excellent welcome by owner who was very responsive to any requests. Thank you!

Comfy country cottage

Great setup in a beautiful riverside setting. Fenced yard for pets. The only downside was a booking in the homestead next door. Loud family arguments and dogs roaming free meant we had to restrict our dogs movements, and curtailed exploration. Host got an automated message that we had checked out and arrived to clean the place before we had left. No big deal, but a faulty system.

Best Farm Stay Ever

Wow this was by far one of the best places my partner and i have stayed with our Staffy. Susan and Bernard are the most kindest and nicest hosts and so accommodating. The retreat is close to Port Macquarie and other surrounding areas. The home was so homely, the beds comfortable and the house just perfect. All the animals were so friendly, my dog made friends with the horses and the Ram and the resident dog Chloe. The farm tour was awesome and we were lucky to be there when the foal was born as well as the calf and rabbits and chickens. The little beach was beautiful and was great to go fishing even though we didn't catch any fish, it was just nice to sit and relax by the water, the farm fresh eggs were so yummy. Thankyou Susan. The only negative we have is we had to go home, we will definitely be back.

Very pleasant stay but needs a few tweaks

Overall fairly satisfactory experience but 1) Would be helpful to show a map with local eateries 2) Have milk stocked for guests to make cup of tea 3) Notified we were not bringing our dogs with us before we left home, so Bernard mentioned we were owed money ( I assume re. cleaning fee) on speaking with him, however have not had any follow-up. 3) The leather lounge in living area was covered with dust & dirt, must have been missed by cleaner.

What a wonderful place for a relaxing break. Susan and Bernard are so warm and welcoming. Everything was perfect. The house was spotlessly clean, neat and well equipped. The dogs had a great time too, swimming in the river and at the beach. We will return to The Hatch.

A higly recommended accomodation

This place is outstanding! We love everything about this accommodation, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is a perfect and safe place for our dog too. The house is well presented, clean and very comfortable with five-star facilities. Bernard, Alyse and Susan were very friendly and accommodating. Thank you. We will come back again and recommend this place to our family and friends.
