This place is truly unique which already starts with the building structure and continues to the very interesting people who live and work there. We enjoyed the hikes around the property, trying out pottery at a reasonable price and the German meal was a special treat as well. My recommendation: try the homemade ice cream, it's delicious!

Christine Australia

It was a lovely get away from city life. Staff where lovely, welcoming and informative. The school house was comfortable and magical. The animals were an added extra to our wonderful experience.

Amie-june Australia

Beautiful view from our balcony. Aircon a plus. Peaceful and great for a bush unwind. Lovely rooms and amazing set up for such a remote spot.

Sasha Australia

A fantastic place with lovely environment and beautiful morning. Would stay longer and try the bush walk next time.

Howard Australia

Everything! The location in the middle of the Pilliga forest was beautiful, staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Room and shared facilities were both clean and useful. Could not have asked for a better place So much to see and do

Carol Australia

Stunning scenic rural farm location with beautiful views; good food at the cafe (check that it will be open); very friendly staff; walking trails, pottery classes, animals to feed....; rustic shared basic facilities (Farmhouse) and the most comfortable bed ever

Graham Australia

Spent a peaceful 2 nights at the Eagle Valley cabin. Totally unwired, star watching one night and then an amazing lightening storm coming slowly over the hills, with 5 minutes of hail - exciting! - the next night. The next morning, the bush, birds and grasses were singing... Lovely Tuscan style kitchen to cook in. Enjoyed exploring the amazing German-style oasis of the main house and pottery studio. Who’d have thought you could eat an authentic curry wurst in the middle of the Warrumbungles! Recommended for a complete unplug from the (human) world.

Amanda Australia

lovely location, great staff, great value for money. Perfect location for family. Something for everyone

Sarina Australia

Perfect for a stay in the Pilliga away from town and surrounded by nature

Vicki Australia

This well run and friendly establishment in a tranquil and beautiful environment made for a great stay. We enjoyed using the walking trails to see more of the area. The cafe not only provided great food but WiFi access to stay in touch with the outside. All in all a wonderful experience.

    Asked about: Poets Cottage
  • I'm wanting to break a long journey from country VIC to QLD with a rest day. I can't tell which farmhouse to choose. I don't want to drive much on my rest day but in reviews someone mentioned doing pottery. Nature and art works for me.

    Hi, do you mean the farmhouse rooms? Room 1 has a little air cooler, the others don't. You can let us know when you know the date, and we can book you in for a class. We also have bushwalking tracks on the property. Thanks, Rani
