The house was exceptionally clean and beautifully presented. The kitchen was outstanding—fully equipped with high-quality dishes, utensils, and appliances, and easily the largest I’ve ever used. The island bench was big enough for all six of our kids to sit around comfortably for breakfast.The additional butler's pantry was a great bonus, offering extra storage, another fridge, and a second oven—everything you could possibly need for cooking and more.Our kids (aged 4 to 14) were so well entertained over the three days that they didn’t even touch their devices.

Beautiful and a memorable experience

The location was perfect for our extended family celebration. The house was so well equipped with large areas where we could all spend time together. The views were beautiful and our grandkids loved patting and feeding the animals and haing their own kids' zone. We were close to shops, but also to national parks and other scenic spots. Julie was a wonderful hostess. All in all, a top spot

Country Sanctuary

We had a wonderful two night stay at North Arm. The property was immaculately presented and the perfect location to get away from the hustle and bustle with friends. The kids loved the opportunity to interact with the animals but all said the 'Kidszone' in the attic was their favourite thing. It was great to have the kids entertained while the adults enjoyed the fireplace and open plan living space. Highly recommend a visit. We hope to be back next year!

We were a group of 9 who booked 'North Arm' for a milestone birthday. The kids loved the cow, the alpacas, free range chooks, cattle and beautiful farm to explore. the adults loved the stunning, clean beautifully appointed home and huge deck. We were not far from Murwillumbah and surrounds. The kitchen was incredibly well appointed & generously stocked. Wonderful welcome & information provided. Cannot thank Julie & Andrew enough! x

Farm Fantastic.

An older farm house supurbly done up on 60 plus acres. House is beyond amazing, with the best of everything. The grounds are lovingly cared for and well maintained. All the regular things you expect from a farm, chickens and egg collecting, a cow to feed, a couple of ponies and a mini herd of alpaca. A vegy patch with herbs etc for picking for dinner, a dam walking distance with ducks but far enough away surrounded by a couple of fences to be safe and if your fit a bee hive up on the hill. Activities for the kids to keep them entertained includes a massive trampoline

Beautiful Farm Stay

This amazing house has everything you could possibly need for a fantastic getaway. Beautiful, scenic dining options, gorgeous bathrooms & luxurious linens & furnishings. The kitchen is to die for as well as a butlers pantry with all the mod cons. The whole outlook is truly amazing & the farm animals just add to the country feel. There is nothing you could want for, there's even a back up wine selection in case of emergencies, not to mention the Riedel glasses for the wine enthusiasts. Boys aren't forgotten with access to every channel you could imagine for the football, horse racing etc. No expense has been spared, well done Julie & Andrew, we loved it.

Idyllic Luxury in the Country

We booked 'On the Farm' at North Arm farm Stay for 3 nights to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday. We could not have chosen a better property and location. The long lunch on the back deck with the scenic country vista was perfect. The extra large kitchen (and butlers pantry) had absolutely everything we needed. The large dining room with double sided fireplace was also well used once the sun went down and the temperature dropped. Our family and friends could not stop commenting on how beautiful the house was. There were so many wonderful aesthetics both inside with the decor and outside the house with the gardens and views. Julie certainly knows how to make it feel like a home and not just a holiday rental and has thought of all the comforts to make it luxurious and relaxing all at the same time. Even though we didn't have small children the adults still enjoyed feeding the local farm animals and collecting the freshly laid eggs. We would highly recommend this property and would love to come back again.
