THINGS TO KNOW:

*We are a working farm, we have 8000 chickens that produce lovely eggs in a true free range set up. Our girls are moved onto fresh grass twice a week to allow them the best access to grass, bugs and new places to explore. We used to have them at home, but now the livestock part of the farm is a few kms down the road.

*We do run the processing component of the farm from the big shed you pass on the way in. This means there are always people coming and going, although every care is taken to minimise disturbance to the cottage.

*If you want to know more about our little farm you can see us online at Kangaroo Valley Pastured Eggs!

*There is a large mulch pile at the start of the driveway. We also run Delicious Gardens, Kangaroo Valley. Our gardeners will make sure that disturbance is minimal, however, it should be noted that you may see some of our friendly staff near the mulch pile!

*We have a lovely farm dog called Indi, as well as two young goats. They may pass the cottage when in the yard. They are all super friendly, and we welcome you to say hello to all our farm animals!

*Due to the recent reports of Foot and Mouth Disease, we ask all international guests to follow the Biosecurity Rules of the Government. This is usually indicated on your Visa details as part of the requirements. We love our farm animals and try to look after them as much as possible!

* We only provide 1 set of keys for each stay. We do not have extra sets.
