The property is well positioned for our purpose but it is very rundown and shabby. There were
many dirty/ dusty places throughout the house
and as the host I was very aware of the situation. Sorry to not be able to report more favorably.
The horses were poorly fed -ribs showing! Supposed to be 5 fowls- only 1!
I will never book again without inspecting the property.

This was a lovely quiet country retreat close to the gorgeous little town of Wollombi. Friendly locals & gorgeous little shops, great open fire pizzas at the local. Our host Michael was great to deal with, introducing himself in the town when he came across us. It was wonderful and we’ll be back!

Beautiful location, thw farmhouse us surrounded by pastures and forest with a meandering creek.
There were very friendly horses coming up to the house for a bite of carrots. Our labrador cross enjoyed our stay and befriended the 7 months old foal f some cheeky playrime.
The house is large and comfortable with many entertainment options. We barbequed each night and dined out on the balcony. While we stayed it was very hot an humid and the upper rooms are a bit stuffy but the night temperatures dropped and we could get a good night sleep. Very friendly owner and we would happily stay there again.Wineries are just around the corner too!

The space was great! Very roomy and fitted 9 adults well. Photos are accurate to the house. Check in was not 10am as listed, but 1pm. No phone reception. Weak wifi (only worked in some parts of the house). Would stay again with a big group!

We had a lovely time at the Farm. The house has loads of character and we weren't looking for new and pristine, we wanted homely comfort and it was the perfect place for us. My big fur baby stayed with us and he loved it. I didn't have worry about having him in the house. Five stars from all of us and we will definitely stay again.

Michael is a wonderful host: generous, and a great communicator. He makes life easy and his beautiful, rambling farmhouse feels more like a home, with all its personal touches such as an open fireplace, large bathtub, chickens for fresh eggs and friendly horses. This is my second stay at The Farm, and we'll be aiming to come again, soon. Thanks again, Michael!

We spent two very relaxing days here with our two girls aged 8 and 9 who loved the animals. There are two free range chickens and also two free-range horses, two goats and a dog. We enjoyed sitting out on the verandah as the sun was setting, feeding the horses in the paddock or just behind the house and playing with Scrappy the dog. The fire pit is also awesome and the location is quiet, green and peaceful. Michael is an attentive host and a genuinely nice guy. We'll be back for sure!

The Farm
A fabulous place to get away from everything. It was so quiet and relaxing. We had a large group and there was plenty of room for all of us with all the amenities to make it feel like home. The huge wrap around veranda could accommodate us all at the same time and became the focal area for many meals and games.
Michael, the manager was very helpful and provided advice to help cater for our family's specific needs.
We will be definitely booking again in the future. Don't forget carrots for the horses and the goats loved all the scraps.

Very spacious. Plenty of room for big groups.
Great size house for an extended family stay., very spacious with plenty of seating , eating and sleeping area. Great position, not to far from town. Great northerly aspect which allowed us to spend lots of time relaxing and cooking on the huge deck. The grandsons enjoyed the animals, especially feeding the horses.

Rustic retreat
We stayed at this fabulous old farmhouse for a weekend in the middle of July. We arrived at night and the house was cold and took a little time to warm up but the fire and the numerous heaters got us there and once warm the house stayed warm for the rest of our stay. The furniture is certainly not fancy, but robust and functional. What you would expect in a farmhouse setting. Kitchen is basic but otherwise well equipped. Our only criticism was the lack of a coffee machine but our host Michael had alerted us to this beforehand and we had brought our own. An old record player and a stack of vinyl made for some good times. Outside the large balcony was bathed in sunshine most of the day and perfect for the afternoon snooze. Meanwhile the horses, chickens and goats kept us company. We had our 2 dogs with us and they got to know the animals too. Everyone got on just fine. No phone reception was a blessing but there was wifi. The village of Wollombi is only 5 minutes away with its pub, cafe and general store. Host Michael was easy to deal with. This is not a high end getaway, but a wonderfully rustic retreat.
