A daybreak you will hear a chorus of singing rainforest birds welcoming the sunrise.

The farm stay has a truly beautiful saltwater waterfall infinity pool with spectacular views.

The Noosa Trails System is right at the entrance of the property and connects with over 400 km of purpose built trails wonderful for walking, bird watching and mountain biking. Sweeping views of the coast and ocean and the sentinel mountain of Mount Pinbarren National Park can be seen from most of the property and wildlife abounds. We provide you with Noosa Trail Map and a flashlight for nature spotting a night.

We invite you to join in with the daily feeding of the farm animals, collect eggs from the hen house.

The Melbourne Tram is dog friendly and suitable for 1 dog to stay. The Tram is securely fenced so your doggy will be secure to freely wander the living spaces but there is no yard in this area so your doggy will need to be walked. We ask that you keep your dog on leash when on the property.
