Drive towards the property is amazing, the scenery is spectacular. It contrasts the bustling cities and get to enjoy the country side. The property itself was well kept and tidy. Would definitely come back to this beautiful place.
Our overnight experience was wonderful. The location provided a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. The animals were so sweet and welcoming. Numerous thoughtful amenities were provided, including charming exterior lighting, that enhanced the cabin's surroundings. There were several comfortable relaxation areas available for guests too. Perfect for us!

Property was great, such a great space, bbq and outdoor area amongst nature. So many beautiful animals horses, donkeys, ponies, dogs all beautiful. The creek was beautiful to explore. So quiet and peaceful.
This property was so beautiful and Corrina was a great, helpful host. We have stayed in a few farmstays in the past and this one was definitely the best. We had the opportunity to see the animals and spend time with them freely and the property itself was stunning. There was plenty of walks and nature to see nearby as well and the grocery shop is not far. Would recommend this place!

Loved the farm animals and the rock pools.
The drive there was very nice.
Beautiful property and accommodation. Corrina is very welcoming, and generous in giving access to her animals and the ceek and rock pool. Love having cuddles with the donkeys. It was everything we hoped it would be. Thank you very much for having us
So beautiful & relaxing. Our 2 night stay was the perfect break from everyday life. The dogs are fantastic and great company - the horses and donkeys a delight to feed right outside our accommodation- thank you for a perfect weekend xx
Corrina and her husband were absolutely lovely and immaculate hosts with a beautiful property and even lovelier animals all around. My fiancè and I stayed in the cabin over Valentine’s Day and it was absolutely perfect, from the lovely rock pools and the river to the horses, donkeys and dogs. The hosts even left out wine and chocolates for us because it was Valentine’s Day haha it was amazing 5 stars.
We love love love Corina’s and Marks farm they are amazing their property is fantastic, We have stayed here a number of times my kids love it I love it we love the animals. It is a beautiful place to take your family the kids will be outdoors more then in.
wonderful place to escape city life.
owners are very generous with access to their property, animals and their time.
we are already planning a return trip!
Convenient to a lot of amazing sights yet far enough away to enjoy nature and the amazing creek and animals at the property itself. We had a busy schedule, but wouldve enjoyed spending more time on the property itself. Beautiful spot !!
Peaceful spot right on the Coomera river. Lovely, comfortable little house. Great spot for adventurous kids exploring the creek and interacting with the friendly and equally adventurous animals. Hosts were very welcoming. Highly recommend for a weekend away.
Beautiful Property, perfect for animal lovers.
hosts a very accomodating and friendly. great for every season. swimming in the stream in summer and sitting by the fire in winter
would deffinitly stay again.

Corrina provided a memorable experience for my family, she greeted us at the start of the trip and gave full access to the property with many animals to keep the kids entertained. There was a creek along the back of the property that was a must do. The resident dog played with our children for the duration of the trip . We had a fire at night and Acess to a bbq that was excellent . We will
Be back again soon . Highly recommend
The ambience of a true farm stay.
Homely and thoughtfully appointed.
Very comfortable.
Excellent for a couple who may want time away from the fast life.
Or a family with younger children.
We really enjoyed the serenity of the property and friendliness of our hosts! The animals were so fun to cuddle, we were delighted that they are cared for in such a loving and respectful way!
Second time back for a chill 20th with my friends and partner. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for the weekend! The animals and river are amazing bonuses with the cabin- we've all decided we'll be back again and hopefully in time to see the new baby donkey!
So fun to stay in what was once an old dairy in rolling hills of Illinbah
Crazy weather, cute little shetlands everywhere and a comfortable bed
Recommend
A back to nature reset my kids and i desperately needed! Found this gem in Illinbah-close to so many great places with a creek bed, fresh country air-but the animals were the real stars! My kids (adult and school aged) were simply besotted with them all-absolute highlight with everything you need to just turn up & unwind
The property is so beautiful and the hosts Corina and Mark are lovely, welcoming and helpful. The farm is gorgeous and the animals were amazing to spend time with. The weekend in nature that I needed. Thank you! Xo

Beautiful property with very friendly animals and welcoming hosts. It was so lovely to get away from our busy life and enjoy the fresh air, stars, firepit, interaction with horses, donkeys and the most gorgeous friendly dogs that became our mates. We swam in the rock pools (with the dogs) and saw turtles but not the elusive platypus- definitely next time! I can’t recommend this place enough. Loved it.
The location is beautiful and isolated. The three of us loved the place, my son, who is a crazy gamer spent more time outside with the animals than inside, commenting that this was the best place he had been to and wants to come back here rather than the coast, WIN!
Owners in another property 40 meters away, were very nice and helpful.
With the property being supplied with more than the very basics, eg cooking oil, butter, etc which was a very pleasant surprise.
