  • Accommodation

So you want a Glen Innes highlands rural farm experience? Here are just some of your options.

Your cottage is independent and away from the owners residence so that you have the freedom to do as little or as much as you like.

Feed the chooks and collect the eggs.

Pet sheep around the cottage for you to get to know.

View the Border Leicester stud ewes and lambs – supplementary feeding during autumn, winter and spring.

See the Angus and Angus cross cows and calves – calving in September/October each year. Be on the look out for our pet cow “Poddy” as she is extremely friendly and enjoys a long pat.

Lambing of merinos (1200 ewes) during September

Shearing of sheep during school holidays in July

Astronomers, enjoy the dark clear skies for night viewing from the verandah

Fish in the local Deepwater River famous for Murray Cod, Yellowbelly and possibly Trout

Observe kangaroos, abundant birdlife and wildlife over the 2500 acres of bush walking.

Enjoy the unique experience of walking over Mt Manbundi and seeing the 360 degree views over the district. Find the Trigonometry station erected in the 1960’s.

Experience the colours of Autumn

Come and see the frosts and the fresh mornings, perhaps even snow! Then home to the comfort of a wood fire.

Enjoy the peacefulness of your own fenced garden. Only some of your options.
