Staying on a farm needn’t mean getting down and dirty with the animals or working like farmhand all day, but that option is there if you want it.
Many farmstays are working farms with Bed & Breakfast cottages available so you can stay on the farm, meet and interact with the people and the workings of the farm, but have your little slice of peace and quiet – and even luxury – if that’s what you’re looking for.
You can find many different kinds of farms as well, from outback cattle stations to swish vineyards.
If its majestic country Views you’re after you could stay in the Cathederal Valley of Victoria at Cathederal Valley Farm,(Many skiers use this as a base to enjoy the Lake Mountain ski fields), or in Queensland’s outback at Bonus Downs Farmstay where Lyle and Madonna Connelly will make you feel the history of the region.
