Ashmar Farmstay

Picturesque, clean air, beautiful tranquility and a wonderful host. Thankyou Gayle, we cannot wait to see you and the animals again!

Only wish we stayed longer...
Gayle and Ian were the most welcoming hosts.
Property was beautifully well kept.
Plenty of things for the kids to do, plenty of places to relax.
Will be returning soon, highly recommend.

.. Just WOW!
We just stayed at Ashmar and as soon as we checked out we rebooked.
My three children (5,9,12 years old) all had an absolute ball. As did I. There was so much to do, see and pat. The animals were all so delightful and friendly. The cottage is so gorgeous, homely, clean and spacious. And the fire place was so cosy. We stayed two nights and wish we booked more. Its an easy 12 min drive to town. The bakery was delicious and the meat from the butcher was amazing.
Ian & Gayle were both so lovely and we loved the damper loaf :) We cant wait to go back.

Myself and my kids - HIGHLY RECOMMEND ASHMAR FARMSTAY.

Such a fantastic time away! Ian and Gayle are wonderful - everything about our time at the farm was fantastic - our little boy was so excited to help Ian feed the animals every day! The cottage is beautiful. Thank you so much for a lovely time! We will definitely be back!

What an amazing place for holiday . Absolutely beautiful. We loved it and kids enjoyed a lot. Wish we had more days but definitely going back again. Thank you Ian and Gayle for your hospitality. Highly recommended for everyone.

Very scenic and serene place. Friendly hosts. Cottage is clean and well maintained. Kids enjoyed playing with rabbits, feeding alpacas, collecting eggs etc. We enjoyed break from the hustle and bustle of the city life.

A GENUINE and classic farmstay. This is a small/medium operating farm (not just a tourist/hobby farm), with a great range of animals. All still hand-fed. There is one free-standing guest cottage near the farmers’ house (so only one group of guests at a time). You are free to either keep to yourself or join for the daily animal feeding or just explore the 500 acre property. Hosts, Ian and Gayle, are relaxed and accommodating and made us feel super welcome.

While we were there, there were sheep, goats, 150 cattle, horses, ducks, rabbits, chickens, guinipigs and bunnies. And something always seems to be having babies.

We were invited everyday to feed all animals, milk a cow by hand, bottle feed lambs and collect eggs. We also went on a hay run, learnt about the water, supplies and struggles with utilities on the land. And watched the dogs round up cattle and sheep.

It was everything we were hoping for in a farm stay for our young family: the kind of experience you would have visiting your own family’s farm.

This is definitely a kids paradise and we had an amazing family time. A great place for family get togethers. Ian and Gayle are great hosts and i would highly recommend this place.

Stuarts Coaches had a group visit today. Highly recommend

Hospitality at its best. Not only the stay was best, but also could come close to the nature. The kids had a blast with the farm animals. Loved it.

The best farm experience. Took me back to my childhood days. Was happy to see my kids running around the farm animals. Planning to go back again.

Most beautiful location, easily accessed, very friendly and helpful hosts, plenty of activities. If you want a great place to get away from it all then this is the place.

Great farmstay experience, very friendly hosts. Lots of different animals to interact with. Great for kids.

An excellent farmstay and kids had so much fun with Frankie and the farm animals.

Kids loved it!! We had a nice time with our friends too!
