Leaving......

We absolutely loved the freshly baked bread we got from Judy Sunday morning - hot out of the oven - what a treat.... Super tasty. For us being South African - the Guiney fowl was very special. They are native to our country and to have them around was just so special. We also loved having a massive fire outside and able to have a "Braai" (BBQ). The wood heater inside was well stocked with firewood and kept us warm all weekend..... The Wi-Fi worked perfectly, and we enjoyed listening to our favourite music videos while relaxing in front of the fire. I had a Kayak trip and saw 16 black swans - which was so special. We loved the farm animals and apart from them, there were a lot of Kangaroos and Wallaby's around. But best of all - the cottage was so cosy and so authentic. Just the real farm thing - we were hoping to experience. Well done - we just really loved it and will highly recommend to everyone. The hosts are lovely friendly people - and they made sure we were taken care of. Well done - super happy with it all. Definitely going again.

Judy was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We loved everything about our short stay. Judy was patient and kind to the kids, answering all of their questions! We all enjoyed meeting and feeding the animals. The cottage had super comfy beds and so many cute decorations to discover. Judy's homemade bread was the best bread we've ever had and was very appreciated. Sad we only stayed for one night....next time we will stay for longer🥰

It was a little far out from the main attractions of Stanthorpe area, but we managed.

Loved the cute little cottage and the close encounters with the animals. Freshly made bread in the morning was a plus!

Genuine working farm, in beautiful country; excellent hosts. Fascinating uncommon sheep breeds, gorgeous little pink piglets, Guinea fowl and even a peacock or two. Old time cottage with very comfortable four poster bed and wood fires, sheltered verandah with grape vines. Beautifully set out vegetable gardens, along with homemade bread and other treats.

Thoroughly enjoyed the farm stay experience and the wonderful hosts, Judy and Ritchie. My 11yo daughter loved the animals, especially the 13 piglets born during our stay! We all loved the open fire at night, toasted marshmallows, and star gazing. Our dog loved chasing the Guinea Foul and sheep, and playing with the owners dogs (particularly Dora). Hope to visit again soon.

My sister and I took our Mum to Glenlyon for a 3 night stay to celebrate our Mum's 94th birthday. We were self sufficient with our meals. Our hosts, Judy and Ritchie were wonderful....gave us our space but were there if we needed them. Cottage very clean and comfortable. Loved the various animals roaming around the farmhouse and fields. Our hosts were mindful of our elderly Mum's limitations for walking around the cottage exterior and for feeding the animals and Judy took that into account to make the experience easier for our Mum. The dogs were very friendly :)

I didn't have any complaints, it is a long ways from anything but that is part of the package with a real farmstay.

We had a good time. Judy was a delight as were all the animals. Honestly I did not research it properly but it was a nice way to visit the area. I doubt that other stays are as pleasant.

This is a true farm stay (not a commercial enterprise) in a historic cottage and setting. The farm animals: dogs, birds, sheep, chickens, ducks, cows, pigs, kangaroos, alpacas….The lovely host and friends. I travelled solo and as a female felt very safe as the host lives close by. Fresh bread baked for you! Kitchen fully equipped so you just need to bring meat and fruit and vegetables because the closest shop is forty minutes drive. Beautiful views of the dam close by. Would definitely stay again.

My hubby & I stayed in this gorgeous cottage just recently for 3 nights & we just loved it. Judy was a great host & very generous with her time. We were in need of some R & R and this was the perfect spot for that. The freshly baked bread, fresh farm eggs and fresh herbs were a bonus and I loved the roses! The cottage is very comfortable and the setting is beautiful! We loved having birds & animals all around us! We spent most of our time on that fabulous front verandah. Wonderful little getaway!

we had a lovely, relaxed and peaceful stay at Glenlyon Dam. We loved the option to join the feeding rounds in the morning, and the ability to truely relax thanks to the quiet and seclusion.

Stayed in October 2024

A lot of the dam has disappeared (water to cotton farmers, I believe), so not really on the water any longer. Kitchen could use some more drinking glasses and a pot for cooking pasta.

Location is in the middle of nowhere! Which was perfect for us. It is about 50mins from Stanthorpe, and Texas is another 30mins away. Gina was amazing! My daughter loved going out in the ute to feed all the animals in the morning and to collect the eggs. The eggs were the best I have ever had. The cottage was rustic, but comfortable. The beds were great and there are plenty of blankets to keep you warm. Highly recommend going in the colder months as having a fire each night was fantastic. The fireplace was the best! There is also a fire pit outside, so do not forget the marshmallows. The kitchen was small, but usable. Be sure to pick up your supplies in Stanthorpe because 'ducking out' for bread and milk is a bit of journey! Be sure to arrive well before dusk... The kangaroos and wallaby's are all over the roads. Wifi worked well, TV is free to air with not a lot of channels, but this didn't bother us. There were a couple of board games as well. Plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Large fridge for everything.

Lovely property to explore and relax. Lovely Host there Gina included my son in the farm activities which made him so happy and felt like he belonged, learning the animals names skipping around the farm, playing with the farm dogs and taking us on a little tour, haven’t seen him more joyful in a long time than at this farm! Making a connection with the animals and getting to just be a kid enjoying the simple pleasures of life exploring, playing around in nature. We loved getting to wake up with the quiet peaceful surroundings, have fresh eggs for breakfast, go on nice walks around the farm see some animals and kick back relax. Great time, thanks.
