We stayed at Lavendale the night before our skydive and then decided to stay on another night because we loved the farm so much. Katherine and Merv were lovely to chat to and very hospitable. Breakfast was great on the verandah with a view of the farm, we loved all the animals and at night the stars were amazing. The... More

We just came back from a weekend at the farm. The children loved feeding the animals on both days we were there and farmer Katherine and farmer Merv took their time explaining everything to the children and answering all their questions. It was a great break from the day to day grind without it being a long drive down south.... More

We stayed at the LODGE with our extended family (8 in total); we also rented the VALENCIA CABIN for my daughter and her husband. It was totally awesome. THE LODGE has wheel chair access, so the bathroom is to die for, so big. The 3 rooms were very large, Farmer Katherine was wonderful and the fresh bread and eggs were... More

A last minute decision to get out of town for a night led us to Lavendale Farm. Every aspect of our (short) stay just blew us away- the hosts, the room, the setting, view and the overall quality of the experience was just incredible.We stayed in `The Red Room`, which was immaculate. The hosts also took the time to show... More

We had a lovely stay in Bali Hai Cottage, which is one of the themed cottages on the farm property. The cottages are new and clean and the beds are really comfortable. We were given a warm welcome, with lovely freshly baked bread and delicious eggs. We could take our dog with us without any issues. The farm is on... More

Stayed at Lavendale Farm for 2 nights with our two girls in Bali Hai, which was immaculately furnished and spotlessly clean. The children's play area was located just beside the house and had a sand pile, swings, trampoline. Farmer Katherine greeted us on our arrival with a loaf of home-maid bread (couldn't get enough of it) and eggs freshly picked... More

It was lovely and quiet (apart from the donkey!) and the house had the feel of a country homestead. It was a beautiful location, being out of York itself yet close enough we could just pop into town when we wanted to. It was so nice to be able to see the stars at night. We stayed in "The Red...

Had a 2 nights stay in Lavendale Farm with our parents & little boy in "Aussie Bush". It's was a very good experience to be with the animals up close. Our hosts Katherine & Merv are very nice & explained to us whatever questions we had for the animals. We were also treated to a fresh loaf of bread &... More

My mum and a couple of friends of ours have always wanted to stay at a farm stay and Lavendale farm was our favorite from all the other farm stays we've researched. We've never stayed at a farm stay before so we were all looking forward to it. For our first time staying at a farm stay it was awesome.... More
