The Quarters - A private section of the old farmhouse offering rural charm and a perfectly comfortable stay. Merigan is the name of the local Parish and on Ngunawal country. It has been recounted by indigenous locals that Merigan means Dingo. The story being that Merigan fought the Bunyip and in their tussle created the rivers and creeks across the range. It’s a southern Australian Mediterranean environment with distinct seasons – it can reach over 42 degrees and in the winter its been known often to snow. Sometimes in summer the easterly sea breezes reaches over the range and the smell of sea salt cools the hot evening. Merigan offers a range of activities, to relax and settle into rural life. One of the best ways to get the feel of Merigan is just taking a walk around the property. We have 3500 acres of space to meander around and a great spots for picnics, drinks and photographs.

1 night at Jarabin on the Murrumbidgee

Jara II is the ultimate rural getaway. Located about 70 km from Canberra along the Hume Highway towards Melbourne, it’s a place I can easily see becoming very popular for Canberrans looking to escape the city. We were fortunate enough to stay just one night while passing through from Queensland to Victoria, and I truly wish we’d booked longer. I’d say a minimum of two nights is ideal, and four would be amazing — there’s so much to explore in the region, yet simply sitting back and watching life drift by would be just as rewarding. Ben, the host, has provided absolutely everything you could want. His attention to detail and the small luxury touches are second to none. There’s another bungalow identical to Jara II a discreet distance away — close enough that two groups could book both and stay connected, yet far enough to ensure complete privacy. Down the hill beside the river is a large, flat paddock where Ben hosts campers in caravans, tents and the like. It’s an impressive spot in its own right, right next to a beautiful flowing river. While we were there, a group in canoes paddled by, taking on the gentle rapids. My wife found time to meditate on the hill, taking in the bird calls, while Ben’s cows wandered past — just as curious about us as we were about them. And the nights… oh, the nights. A sky full of stars, the kind you can only see in places like this, while sitting around a cosy fire. I’ll be dreaming about coming back to this majestic place.

Weekend Trip to Shepherds Rest

Shepherd's Rest is a magic little spot. We stayed in the Barn Room and it was so comfortable and cozy... Not that we were in it much! The property and amenities are awesome, so much secure space for the kids to roam, a beautiful bathroom (love the bath) and gorgeous little kitchen. The animals are very curious and friendly (especially Squashy the llama!) and our dog got on really well with Jacqui's own sweet doggo. Jacqui was an exceptional host, so friendly, helpful and accommodating. We can't wait to plan our next trip back!

1 night at Merigan Farm

Good location away from the city, star visibility is awesome. Tim was friendly and helpful. I have no problem recommending this place for a family to stay for a bit to escape the city and enjoy some country life.

Really enjoyed my stay out in the nature and with animals. I would recommend this place 100% and Jacqui is really wonderful host. She genuinely cares and will provide a great stay. I felt like this was my second home.

4 nights at Shepherds Rest

We had a ball at Shepherds Rest. The shipping container was a cosy little space for our family of five and the kids loved exploring the land and visiting the goats and lama. This spot was well equipped with all things needed for a camping trip with the family, fire pits, camp kitchen and the cutest little bathroom. Jacqui was the perfect host, ensuring we were comfortable and going above and beyond during our time. We will be visiting again!

Jacqui was a lovely, friendly host. The amenities were great, especially the bathroom "hut" - so charming! We were able to enjoy a hot shower and shared a beautiful campfire in the common courtyard with others staying there night. The shipping container was just the basics of what we needed of a warm bed for the night and plenty of room for our 3 dogs. Thanks again Jacqui!

Weekend Trip to Shepherds Rest

Very quiet and peaceful with a remote Australian bush vibe. A wonderful glamping type set up with cute bathroom and kitchen, so clean too. The sunset was beautiful, loved going for a walk this time of day, seeing the goats, lama, chickens and all the native birds. The stars were spectacular and Jacqui was so helpful and welcoming, my dog and I really enjoyed our stay. Take insect repellent and a big hat. Highly recommend to all who love getting out into nature and enjoy the Australian landscape. Even saw Black Cockatoos. Very special place.
