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.

AustraliaNice 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.

ThailandThe 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.

AustraliaThe accommodation was comfortable with all amenities. We loved the big bath because it was easy to bath all the kids at once.

AustraliaFull 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.

AustraliaBeautiful 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.

AustraliaWe 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 :-)

Katherine and Merv
One of the best features of the property is the granite hill which can be seen from every point of the farm. The Avon River forms one of the boundaries and provides lots of natural bush to complement the farming side of our operation. It is the wonderful experience of country life which our guests have here that sets us apart.
Merv and Katherine have built Lavendale Farm from scratch. It is an ongoing project, and a labour of love. All of our cottages and units are quite unique. We hope you will enjoy meeting some of our farm animals who graze the many paddocks. if you see us around the place we are happy to answer your questions about our animals and teach you a little about raising sheep, cattle and alpacas.
Our Farm is halfway between the historical towns of York and Beverley. This is a rich agricultural area with crops and sheep. The town of York has many historical buildings the visit. Both towns have hotels and cafes and museums. Our farm itself is set up for families and is very safe for children, but we do ask that you read our "Safety Suggestions" which are in our guests folders, along with lots of suggestions of things to do and see in the area.
