Relaxing and delightful weekend escape
Fawlty Farm sure did impress. The range of accomodation available catered to all tastes. The level of cleanliness wasn't A1 but appropriate for the location and experience offered. The amenities catered well to a large group and the equipment available for use was extensive and impressive. The fire pit, the hot tub, the bbq, the paella pan, the large kitchen and everything else were all easy to use and well maintained. John was a kind, generous host who propelled our weekend into one to remember with his army truck rides, house boat voyages and visit to the summit with fire and nibbles. My whole group (17 women!) thoroughly enjoyed staying at Fawlty Farm and will recommend John, his sheep, alpacca and many friendly birds who drop by for some seed to everyone! Thanks for a fabulous weekend John!

A lovely hosted experience
The hosted experience was really great, I was a bit surprised at the house itself, for the cost I wouldn't have expected the degree of decay on the property, broken windows specifically. We honestly had the best and most enchanting time and it exceeded our expectations, but we couldn't even use the living room as the couches were so gross and all the windows were broken

Fun Fun Fun
What a great weekend we had at Fawlty Farm. John was a great host taking us out on the boat and up to the lookout for spectacular sunset views and drinks. Lots to entertain with table tennis, pool and fusal along with canoes and SUP. We had so much fun. Thank you so much John.

We loved our stay at a Faulty Farms
Faulty farms is set on a stunning property with just about everything on offer. You can kayak the private lake, snuggle around the fire pit walk around and enjoy the wildlife ect. There is certainly something for everyone. We enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and made use of the wood fire pizza oven, paella pan and spit. The tours were a lovely touch, especially the trip upto the ridge line, the drive up was nothing but laughs and then you are met with the most amazing views and get to enjoy some cheese and bubbly around the fire. John and Sally are gems. Everyone was impressed and enjoyed their stay. Our one disappointment was that the hot tub didn’t get hot enough to use on the Saturday night. But knowing John he will have that addressed in no time! Recommend faulty farms for the family/friend getaway. Summer would be incredible.

Fun family time
The bonus events were thoroughly enjoyed by all. A heater in one cabin didn't work properly and shorted out the cabin but otherwise all was good. Kitchen is well appointed and all ages enjoyed the fire pit.

Incredivle
This place is simply incredible. John was incredible from start to finish, communication, flexibility, friendliness. The property itself is beautiful, well thought out and so much fun. The whole experience was enhanced by the activities. I could not have asked for a better 30th.

Perfect for a big group.
15 of us stayed for 3 nights. The property has just the right amount of things to get adventurous with while also being the perfect place to get solid downtime together. Every spot is large enough for the entire group to hang out but also appropriate to break off and do different things. We loved it. And John was very communicative and delightful

Fabulous Fawlty Farm
Great farm stay surpassed our expectations! Sleeping areas and indoor/outdoor spaces were perfect for our family of 8 adults and 8 children. Plenty of activities to do, the hot tub and the private lake a bonus, the animal feeding and the extra excursions provided were a very special experience for all.

3/1/20 for 8 nights
Amazing stay at Fawlty farm with family. 6 adults and 9 children and we had the best time. The set up is fantastic and the hosts wonderful. I recommend highly for a large group. Kids were aged 10 to 17 and we spend plenty times on the water both the farms lake and lake eildon. The experiences Fawlty farm offers made the holiday what it was and I am sure that you will have a great trip if you partake. Fawlty farm is a rustic adventure that exceeds all expectations. Do yourself a favour and book.

There is something for everyone here. We were impressed with how much access we had to all of the facilities, use of the fire pit, bbqs, lake, kitchen... anything. This is a perfect spot for a gathering of friends!

Absolutely out of this world incredible!
John has created possibly the most special place I’ve ever had the privaledge of staying at. We visited with a large group for my 30th, and whether it’s the beautiful private lake with waterfront bedrooms, the A- frame chalet tiny houses, the bonkers view from the hut at the top of the hill on the property, the personal boat trip on lake Eildon- John’s pad really has everything. John was the perfect host, always nearby if we needed or with the next incredible experience lined up. John’s magical place is only overshadowed by his heartfelt hospitality and warmth. Some of our group even dubbed it ‘their favourite weekend of their lives’! Don’t be a stranger John, we’ll definitely be coming back soon ;) thanks again for making my 30th unforgettable!
