“Katherine is an amazing business owner that exceeds expectations. The cottage was very clean, tidy and had many many facilities and household items that were not expected to be there. I really enjoyed the stay and so did my kids and would love to come again soon. I'm very pleased with what was given and would love to thank the owners for creating this wonderful farmhouse.”

“Nice countryside retreat but still close to the city of York. The owners were very accommodating and friendly. There is a kitchen, barbecue... everything needed for a short stay. The presence of animals is very relaxing.”

“The cottage was clean and very well equipped for a few nights’ stay. Plenty of room for a toddler to play indoors. Just enough activities throughout the day on the farm for children while also tranquil for some much needed R&R for the adults. The hosts were warm and friendly. The animals were interactive and very well behaved even for young children.”

“Full kitchen facilities provided, including fridge, microwave, stove, oven, filtered water, crockery, cutlery and washing up equipment, so you can cook anything so long as you bring the ingredients. The cottage was cozy and very warm with the reverse cycle A/C on. The beds were exceptionally comfy and we slept very soundly and peacefully. The owners offer the opportunity to tag along with them in the evenings to feed the friendly animals, and you can wander the farm during the day to explore or visit the animals. All in all, a great home from home and a convenient base from which to explore York and the surrounding countryside.”

“Perfect for young families. Lots of animals and activities for young kids. The authentic farm stay experience.”

“Beautiful getaway for families with young kids. The farm feeding was the highlight of the trip. The cottages are very clean and comfortable beds. Main town is only 15 minutes drive and locals are very friendly. Must visit the swinging bridge and park.”

“Meeting the animals was a high lite.only 10 mins to York Town centre.”

“We had a lovely time at the farm. The Aussie bush cabin was nice and cosy and the bed was very comfortable. Our two year old loved feeding the animals each afternoon. Farmer Merv and Farmer Katherine were generous and welcoming hosts. We will be back :-)”

“Overall location and facilities were fantastic. The owner was very friendly and helpful and pleasant to talk to.”

“It was great experience staying at Lavendale farmhouse in York. Katherine, owner was kind, helpful and provide great customer services. The location was great as we experience something very different than busy metro life, it was quite, pleasant and fun stay at farmhouse. Kids loved all animals and animal feeding session along with special tractor ride. and of course, will not forget fresh eggs each evening after animal feeding session. York town has itself own beauty, visited couple of places in and around town during three days stay. Overall, it was awesome experience staying at Lavendale farmhouse. Thank you Katherine.”
