I wanted to say thankyou to Blair, Jacqui and Hannah for a wonderful long weekend. My Family of 8 adults and 5 children had a amazing holiday this long weekend. The accommodation was clean and tidy and the beds were comfortable. The kids and adults loved the mornings down in the nursery and the pony rides. We were so fortunate to stay there and loved the history of the place. We were able to cook lots of food, bbq and play board games, the kids used the library as well. Thank you so much. We hope to be back next year.

My family enjoyed a wonderful weekend staying at your farm, Hannah and Alissia were so very helpful, they ensured all the children got to experience all the activities that are on offer. The children absolutely loved all the animals and learnt lots of new skills, damper cooking, whip cracking and boomerang throwing to name a few. It was such a wonderful experience for all of us, thank you so very much.

We are a family of 4, with 2 kids 4 and 8. Booked the Gatehouse but there was some repair work, arrangement was made for us to stay at Majellan Lodge instead. We cannot be more thankful for additional huge space the lodge provide. Kitchen was well equipped to prepare simple meals.

Coming in from a city like Singapore, the kids and ourselves enjoyed the farm experience thoroughly. The hands on experience of milking the cow, pony rides, feeding bunnies and other animals, collecting eggs and even making push bread will be life long memories.

Blair and Jacqui are amazing hosts. Would highly recommend Mowbray Farmstay!

Our large group consisted of 6 families (11 adults and 13 kids). All adults and kids thoroughly enjoyed the organised daily activities and the freedom to explore the property at our leisure. The weather didn't deter us from visiting the bunnies in the nursery, enjoying cooking damper by the campfire, kids horse riding, canoeing and casual walks down to the water...too many other activities to name them all!
Majellan Lodge comfortably accommodated our large group. The fridge was small, but we made do with some ice and an extra eski. The kitchen was well equipped for all our needs.

Thank you Blair, Jacqui and the staff on Mowbray Farm. You have a wonderfully unique holiday destination. Our group had a great time during our 3 days there and it was a wonderful way to start the school holidays. Special thanks to Blair for being so accommodating to our requests, friendly chats and sharing your extensive knowledge, stories and the history of the farm.

We would highly recommend Mowbray to our friends and family and would happily return when we have the opportunity.

We stayed for two night in the Gatehouse as a family of four. We throughly enjoyed our time at Mowbray Park. I personally found it quite peaceful. The boys enjoyed all the structured hands-on farm activities: meeting and feeding the animals, pony rides, milking the cow, making damper and boomerang throwing. It was also really nice to have lots of free time activities to do like fishing and bush walking. The staff were all friendly and kind. Thank you Blair and Jacqui and the team.

Thank you Blair, Jacqui and your team for a wonderful two-day camp experience. Our 71 year 3 and 4 children loved every minute of their camp. learning about wool, horsemanship, dairy cows, AI drones were wonderful experiences. They also adored the opportunity to get up close to lambs, rabbits, poultry and goats with Molly.
The food was plentiful, wholesome and nutritious. Our accommodation was warm clean and comfortable. For me as the camp organiser, you did everything possible to help and ease the process from friendly phone conversations, catering to dietary needs, and details risk assessments.
Thank you for your warm and gracious hospitality.

We, a family of 4 with two boys aged 8 stayed at the Alverna Lodge. Had a wonderful time - loved the time spent with the animals in the farm coming from a very city life. Kids particularly enjoyed it. The hosts were also great - giving us boots to deal with the heavy rain - a definite must visit place. Forget the city for sometime, love the countryside.

Absolutely beautiful place a must go for kids we went for the day and the kids wouldn’t leave we easily spent the whole day there .. highly recommend for kids they loved feeding the animals toasting marshmallows and activities that were around and for us adults it was just breathtaking a breathe of fresh air for us city folk to just walk around nature. Thank you we will be back in the holidays.

Thank you so much for the most incredible farm stay. We all absolutely loved it and we can't wait to come back soon! We loved how there was so much to do but also the option to chill and do nothing, perfect! Plus it was only 1 hour from Sydney made it even sweeter. You guys are the best hosts and we thank you so much!

Well thank you very much, we get a lot back from our guests who engage , hope you can get back down here some time.

Dear Jacqui and Blair,
Our family of four had the most enjoyable family getaway at the Majellan Lodge on your farm this week. Your staff, in particular, Callum, Mel, Jamie and Julian were excellent in going out of their way to make our children's visit memorable. Callum was so patient and kind to the children, allowed them to feed and hold the animals, and taught them how to milk the cow, pick up chicken eggs, feed the lambs and pat the bunnies. Mel was very patient and took us on 2 very enjoyable horserides which we throughly enjoyed. Jamie and Julian were so attentive to our meals, and gave the children the thrill of toasting marshmallows at night! The facilities are clean, adn the staff very helpful. This is a highly recommended farmstead which we will be sure to visit again and recommend to our friends!

Wow, so pleased you got the experience you were hoping for, means a lot to us as well. Thanks for coming down and hope to see you again.
