Stay with a real Australian family, ‘on the land’, joining in daily tasks and special seasonal farm activities. Enjoy delicious home-cooked meals, in the warm and friendly family atmosphere, typical of Aussie hospitality. Often you can collect the eggs to have them cooked for your breakfast, or vegetables to eat them fresh with your meal.
There are so many experiences to enjoy on a farm, with memories of a lifetime. You will not believe how many stars you can see in the Australian countryside at night. You won’t forget seeing ‘The Southern Cross’ and ‘The Milky Way’. At sunrise and sunset you can often see the wild kangaroos on farm properties feeding. Some farms even have tennis courts, swimming pools, table tennis tables, billiard tables and dams for yabbying or fishing.
The farm hosts are experienced hosts and enjoy sharing and educating their visitors, adults and children, about farming life. One night will give you a taste of Australia, but two or three nights is the ideal farmstay package to allow time to experience the various activities and the culture of the Australian countryside while forging a lifelong friendship with your farm family.
Cairns Farmstays are based on the Atherton Tablelands with a variety of farms and farm experiences to enjoy. Just over a one hour drive from Cairns, you can stay on a real ‘Aussie’ farm and see so much more than the city itself. Rolling hills, plantations, rainforests all provide for a unique farmstay, unlikely to be experienced anywhere else in the world.
The types of farms are dairy, beef cattle, sugar cane, fruit, vegetable, fish, coffee and nut.
