Weekend Trip to Highland Cow Farm

Jan was an absolutely exceptional host. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully considered. The property itself was immaculate, beautifully maintained, and presented with genuine care. But what truly set our stay apart was the level of service Jan provided. She went above and beyond in every possible way. Not only did she make us feel welcome, she made us feel genuinely at home. Her warmth, attentiveness, and generosity were unmatched. One of the standout moments of our stay was the way she embraced our animal-loving daughter’s enthusiasm. Jan took the time to introduce her to her beautiful herd and even made sure she had the opportunity to hand-feed the friendliest of the animals. It was a memory our daughter will treasure forever. Jan's hospitality wasn’t just good, it was exceptional, heartfelt, and unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend her or her stunning property more highly. We left feeling grateful, refreshed, and already eager to return. My husband works remotely but with offices in the area, we will be back for sure and certain.

Jan the host was absolutely amazing we couldn’t have asked for a better experience, from the grounds to the cattle and the peace and serenity it was a weekend never to forget. Jan took my husband and I around the grounds and introduced us to her highland cows which I got to feed it was a dream that is now ticked off the list we will definitely be back in February and can’t wait thanks again

Great location and accommodation. The only minor comment would be that the beach is off limits to dogs even though the accommodation is.

Just spent a couple of days at Suzanne and Paul's farm. Cows on 200 acres The camp area is quite small. That said perfect with fantastic coffee and cafe on site and super clean toilet facilities all to ourselves. Owners and their staff working in the cafe were super friendly and very easy going. Decent pub just down the road and Pottsville 10 mins by car. Northern rivers rail track is a stone throw away.

We stayed for three nights and can highly recommend camping here. Rob and Suzanne couldn't be more welcoming. You have to try the cheeses make on the premises, we didn't find a bad one. So good... Easy access to the rail trail and a great spot to camp up for a base than explore this beautiful region.
