The goats, the gardens, and us
About the Farm
A working farmlet with a soft heart. Old gardens, a curious herd, and two people who fell in love with the place.
The farmlet
Grown since 1948
The gardens here were planted by an English couple long before we arrived, and they’ve been quietly getting on with it ever since.
Oaks, maples, birch and ash trees dance with the seasons under ancient bluegums and blackwoods, offering an air of romance all year round.
Old English farm buildings, moss on the branches, daffodils that come up every spring without being asked. It’s the sort of place that makes you feel like you’ve slipped back into a slower century.
Inside your cottage, discover the history of the property and the lovers and dreamers who have visited, lived and worked here to make it the special place it is today.
We look after it now, and mostly that means listening to what it wants, sprinkling a little more seasonal romance here and there.
We farm sustainably and regeneratively, which is a formal way of saying we try to leave the soil better than we found it.
When you stay, you’re part of that too.

The goats
Our Australian miniature goats
They are, without question, the highlight of every stay. Our herd is friendly, curious, and entirely convinced you’ve come to see them (they’re not wrong). You’re warmly invited to join the morning or afternoon feed, get properly acquainted, and have a cuddle if they’ll allow it.
Kids arrive on the farmlet each year from August through to November, so if you time it right there’ll be wobbly-legged babies finding their feet in the paddock. It’s as lovely as it sounds.
Everyone else
The rest of the crew
The ducks, chooks and guinea fowl roam free and go where they please, which is sometimes right up beside your cottage. Orla, our beagle, and Shinobi, our Maremma guardian dog, patrol between the homestead and the yard and may well come and introduce themselves. Nobody here is short on personality.
Come and meet everyone
The herd is expecting you.
Bring an appetite for goat cuddles. There’s no shortage.
