Private farmlet with chooks and sheep for the kids to play with, plenty of space and off-street parking, no sulphur, traffic or streets to worry about, massive BBQ and volleyball area, playhouse and sandpit, hot spa pool, extensive decks, fully furnished renovated homes with quality beds and linen. Great for several families on holiday or reunion, school groups or sports teams, or even tour groups wanting some fresh air and privacy from the city rush.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Kerris Browne

I am a busy and active person - besides running the accommodation, farm, and an export business, I also volunteer-coach triathlon, running, and racewalking for the local community.
Why they chose this property
I love this area because it's got a great peaceful farm feel and outlook, yet we are still within the town boundaries and can catch the Citybus just up the road.
What makes this property unique
Animal feeding daily 3:30pm-4:30pm, on a real farm.
