Fabulous Farmstay

This property was so beautiful and Corrina was a great, helpful host. We have stayed in a few farmstays in the past and this one was definitely the best. We had the opportunity to see the animals and spend time with them freely and the property itself was stunning. There was plenty of walks and nature to see nearby as well and the grocery shop is not far. Would recommend this place!

The property was perfect for our family. It included everything we needed for a comfortable mini holiday. Nice little hidden gem just outside the Gold Coast. We’ll definitely be back for another stay.

Can't get enough

Second time back for a chill 20th with my friends and partner. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for the weekend! The animals and river are amazing bonuses with the cabin- we've all decided we'll be back again and hopefully in time to see the new baby donkey!

Beautiful property with very friendly animals and welcoming hosts. It was so lovely to get away from our busy life and enjoy the fresh air, stars, firepit, interaction with horses, donkeys and the most gorgeous friendly dogs that became our mates. We swam in the rock pools (with the dogs) and saw turtles but not the elusive platypus- definitely next time! I can’t recommend this place enough. Loved it.

Relaxing escape

My partner and I had a lovely time. Very wonderful and welcoming hosts. We enjoyed our time with all of the animals. The creek is magical and if it had been warm enough we would definitely have gone for a swim. Can confirm the dogs all love a pat, and that the horses/ponies/donkeys love carrots. You're only 15 minutes or so to Canungra if you want some supplies or a meal. Otherwise the kitchen is fully equipped and ready for use.

My friends and I went for a girls weekend. We are all animal lovers so it was just amazing to meet all of Corrina’s beautiful horses, dogs and donkey. Sitting by the fire pit each night was also a bonus. The cabin is even better than the pictures but beware there isn’t a toilet door lol

Hidden gem

This place is a gem that I don't really want others to find out about or it will get too busy and I won't be able to book again. The hosts were so relaxed and welcoming. The location is incredibly beautiful, so peaceful, friendly animals. The accommodation is really quite large, you have everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. Waking up with Edna the pregnant donkey right outside our door was pretty special for the kids. They spent the entire time throwing rocks into the rockpool, swimming in the rockpool, playing with the dogs, feeding the horses and donkeys, watching the horses get new shoes, sketching the landscape - just doing beautiful outdoorsy things kids should be doing. I had a blissful three days of them not asking for screentime!! I felt like we were a million miles from our city life, but we were less than 2 hours to home. We will definitely be back.

Fun farm stay

The kids and I had a two night stay at Corrina’s farm. We had a great time meeting the animals and toasting marshmallows on the fire. Corrina is a fantastic host and was very welcoming and kind. Thanks for a good mini break.
