We had a lovely stay at Crystal Creek Cottages. Being a rainy weekend, meant it was super cosy. Was wonderful having the animals close by and my wife loved the mini ponies! Many thanks for a great stay.

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn

Host profile image
We've been sharing country hospitality for more than 30 years through both unique accommodation and our successful tourism businesses. We offer guests ideal amenities and privacy to enjoy the serene rural splendor of our farm stay experience.

Why they chose this property

We are passionate about the Tweed Valley, our home for the last 30 years. Known to locals as 'god's own country', Crystal Creek is at the centre of a lush sub-tropical volcanic valley that is ideal farm land and more recently attracted people looking for natural lifestyle alternatives. This ensures the area has a vibrant cultural life, interesting shopping and fantastic coffee and restaurants.

What makes this property unique

Stunning views from the front porch to Mount Warning -- the first place in Australia to see the sun each morning.

We are horse and cattle breeders for more than 50 years, so you'll have an opportunity to see our unique and miniature horses and cows up close and personal.
