Disappointments one after the other. There weren't that many animals in such a big lot of land. Saw a few cows and goats. The BBQ area was so dirty that on one dared use. Wanted to set a camp fire but the woods provided were so damp. Had all the food sticked to the non-stick pan. Pillows were like flat sheets. Essentials didn't even include bathroom toiletries therefore no shower during our stay. Luckily on 1 night! It's not a budget stay after all when you add up rates plus fees for cleaning, linen and towels. A plus for the cabin cleaniness and adequate heating on cold wintry night.

Myself and my 6 year old daughter stayed at Big Bell farm for 2 nights. We could have stayed a week. Bruno the owner welcomed us early to check in which was a bonus. He was so friendly and warm and is a grandpa, so he and my daughter got on well. She followed him around listening to his every word. He even answered ALL her farm animal questions and she loved the interaction with him. So if you have a talkative child with farm interest Bruno is your man. The farm itself is really close to shops and petrol. The cabins are clean and warm with everything you need. They have a little verandah. You can sit in the sun and watch your children play on the slide or swing or put a blanket down on the grass and have a picnic. There are some bikes in the shed and you can ride those around too. We also played old school ring toss which was a lot of fun from the shed games areas. The property is lovely to walk around. We walked around and climbed trees both in the paddock and in the goat enclosure. Pulled out fire weed for Bruno, which is not good for the animals and visited the creek dwn the hill. The animals were excellent! 2 horses. Gunner was our favourite. My daughter had a ride too. Cows to feed. Goats to feed and pat were the highlight. My daughter was lucky enough to be there for a 3 day old kid. She cuddled it every day and she will never forget it. Enjoyed every minute of our stay. Highly recommend it and can’t wait to go back. Thanks Bruno Elysha and Lily…

The place is lovely. If possible ask for Cottage 1. That has the best view. The kids just love this place with so many animals to feed and so many fruits to pick. If you visit with friends, you can also plan a barbeque. The night sky is just mind blowing. You can see the milky way clearly on a clear night. Do carry your telescope if you can to watch all the planets.

Big Bell Farm is great place to be with the family or friends. we have been here number of times since past 2 years and had a wonderful experience in every trip! Cabin is nice and comfortable, with a proper kitchen. We enjoyed the BBQ with music wine and catching up with friends. Being a birdwatcher and Photographer, I took a stroll in the farm and few trails nearby. In short this place is simple, but has everything you need. Bruno is awesome host! so we loved being there and definitely be back again.

The property is big & spacious with beautiful views. The owners are the best part as they’re so accommodating, friendly & good with children. Our boys loved feeding the animals with Bruno & can’t wait to go back!

My family and I have stayed here 4 times over the Christmas Period . Bruno and wife Elizabeth are welcoming and friendly. There are 3 separate homes on the property and plenty of space to put caravans. There are goats and horses to pat and cows to look at. The view is magnificent. Homes/cabins are clean, tidy and supply everything you need except food. BBQ area and outside tables. There is a pool to share, fuzeball, basketball hoop and various bikes to borrow. Minutes drive to Kangaroo Valley shops and river to swim in.

Yes Virginia, there is a town in Australia named Kangaroo Valley. And the kangaroos definitely outnumber the people. The people, however are friendlier, the kangaroos are a bit standoffish. We stayed 2 nights in a cabin at the Big Bell Farm. We woke up each morning to the rather raucous sound of kookaburras. Our front porch overlooked pastures full of cattle, goats, and kangaroos, with views to the southern highland mountains. The cabin was comfortably furnished and presented in a clean condition. It is equipped for cooking meals, though with Kangaroo Valley's inviting restaurants and cafes only a couple of miles away, why would anyone bother. The owner was very easy to work with and quick to respond to our inquiries. We were greeted with a smile when we showed up and given permission to explore the farm. One of our highlights was watching a kangaroo hop by a few yards from us, with her little Joey's head protruding from her pouch. This would be a perfect place to stay with children.…

We were in four; 5 years old boy; a 20 months baby girl; my husband and I couldn’t ask for a better place. Bruno and Elizabeth were amazing people and the cabins made we feel warm and comfortable like our home; plus the amazing view. The farm is close to the town and had everything that we needed. The puppy( buddy) very friendly too. We will come back; for sure. Thank you very much for the hospitality. Rodrigo; Monica; Otto and Malu.

Big Bell Farm is just perfect for a getaway with the family or friends. The days were hot when we were there but we could swim in pool anytime and in the evenings when it cooled down, we enjoyed the camp fire very much, talking, catching up, telling jokes, having a few drinks. We took our dogs and they had a ball. The property isn't fenced, but ours were having such a great time they just played all day around the cottages. The cottages are very comfortable, with a proper kitchen, so no need to go into the village at night. The BBQ was also a huge success. This place is simple, but provides everything you need. We all loved being there.

We had so much fun at Bruno’s place ! The goats, horses and the guest dog Barney ensured that our 4 year old was fully occupied. Feeding the horses, petting the goats, playing with Barney and best of all she actually learned to ride the bike from one of the spare bikes Bruno has lying around. Don’t miss the amazing display of the galaxies at night, even if it’s cold make sure to go outside after dark and look up and be amazed ! The cottages are comfortable and fully equipped. Covered parking, barbecue areas .. everything is provided for. Finally, kangaroos can be seen feeding on a distant pasture throughout the day, enjoy your stay here !
