The best way to describe Fawlty Farm is that it is has all the components of a very large house, but here they are separated and spread out over a small area. The focal point is the ‘Big Top’. This is an open-sided but covered area of some 150 square meters.

There is an open fire pit in the centre surrounded by 3 tables each seating 10 people. One of the best features of Fawlty Farm is our extensive outdoor kitchen situated under The Big Top. There are 9 different appliances to suit the most ambitious cooking team.

Our property has a total of 5 double beds and 2 queen size beds, 6 bunk beds and 3 singles. (plus 10 camp beds). The whole environment of the farm is perfect for a group of friends or family looking for a place with great facilities and loads of interesting accommodation. There is plenty of space for your cars, boats and caravans.

The Lakehouse is a separate 2 storey cottage on our private lake. It has a Queen size bed and a slipper bath/shower upstairs. Downstairs is a kitchette, toilet, double bed bunk (sleeps 3 ) andTV/Radio. Large double doors open out onto a deck with a 10 person dining setting and BBQ, built over the lake. Great in the Summer.

The private lake is stocked with fish and is safe for swimming but is not fenced. The 300 acres is steeply undulating country with a mixture of open grassy paddocks and dense natural bushland. Perfect for that getaway where the only sounds you will hear will be yours or the abundant wildlife.
