Stay with a real Australian family, ‘on the land’, joining in daily tasks and special seasonal farm activities. Enjoy delicious home-cooked meals, in the warm and friendly family atmosphere, typical of Aussie hospitality. Often you can collect the eggs to have them cooked for your breakfast, or vegetables to eat them fresh with your meal.
There are so many experiences to enjoy on a farm, with memories of a lifetime. You will not believe how many stars you can see in the Australian countryside at night. You won’t forget seeing ‘The Southern Cross’ and ‘The Milky Way’. At sunrise and sunset you can often see the wild kangaroos on farm properties feeding. Some farms even have tennis courts, swimming pools, table tennis tables, billiard tables and dams for yabbying or fishing.
The farm hosts are experienced hosts and enjoy sharing and educating their visitors, adults and children, about farming life. One night will give you a taste of Australia, but two or three nights is the ideal farmstay package to allow time to experience the various activities and the culture of the Australian countryside while forging a lifelong friendship with your farm family.
To experience the true country escape, a farmstay just 1 or 1.5 hours from Melbourne is the answer. Kyneton, Ballarat Great Ocean Road & Yarra Valley areas are the centres for the farmstays and you will be amazed by the open space and the chance to see wildlife in its natural environment. Farm sizes vary from just a few acre hobby farms with a variety of animals to very large sheep farms.
Types of farms: Cattle, Crop, Dairy, Dog training facility, Emu, Goat, Hobby, Horse Mixed animal, Sheep, Vineyard
