Farm stays: what to expect

Written by

in

A farm stay is a relaxed way to see rural Australia, meet animals and enjoy dark night skies.

Farm stays range from simple cabins on a working property to restored homesteads. Some hosts invite guests to help feed animals or collect eggs; others simply offer quiet and space.

Tips

  • Ask the host what activities are included and suitable for children.
  • Check road conditions: some farms are on unsealed roads.
  • Bring boots, a torch and layers, as country nights can be cold.
  • Respect gates, livestock and biosecurity rules (leave gates as you find them).

Always confirm the details, pets policy and cancellation terms directly with the host.
