Please also note... this is a busy, working farm in an extremely remote part of the world. We invite you to be part of an authentic experience that is not curated to exclude the realities of farm life, which certainly includes wildlife, insects, bats, muddy or bumpy roads, dust, strong winds among other things that will ground you and remind you what life used to be like before we sanitised everything. We keep the price low to allow families to enjoy this experience, but this place will not suit all tastes.
If you are travelling on your own we can offer reduced rates out of season.
