If you love the outdoors - either just to chill or to actively recreate - this place is for you. As an outdoor educator, I have worked and played in the valley and surrounds for more than 25 years and I'm still discovering new things to see and do! Advancetown Lake is a short drive away with paddling, sailing and fishing and no power boats or jetskis (Yeeha!!) There is a mountain bike park on the E side of the dam. You can walk from here to Springbrook and Lamington National Parks and the glow worms at Natural Bridge are a night time "must see".

We had such a wonderful stay! The house was absolutely lovely, with clear instructions and a thoughtful welcome pack prepared for us. The property was well fenced, so our dogs could safely run around and enjoy themselves. The cows were so friendly, and everything about the place was just perfect.

This place is beyond amazing. Rocked up at 9pm after getting abhorrently lost and Corrina set up everything for us when we arrived. The tent was extremely cozy and warm and felt like a luxurious hotel room set in the middle of a scenic landscape. The horses and donkeys were all so super friendly and greeted us and spent pretty much the entire day with us. As well as this we had the joy of being followed around by their little dog Maya all day who was the sweetest little girl. Most amazing feel ever to be able to have some food that we cooked on the kitchenette provided, sit by a warm fire and then go snuggle up in the coziest bed provided. We will 100% be coming back, not only is the place a 10/10 spot to visit but Corinna’s hospitality made us feel like we did not want to leave.

Weekend Trip to Drumack Farmhouse

We had an amazing weekend getaway at Drummack Farmhouse with our crew of 8! The barn house was the real showstopper - we used it to teach each other line dancing under the stars, and the twinkling fairy lights and cozy fireplace created an unforgettable atmosphere. The rustic charm of the barn was the perfect backdrop for our country vibes. The property is stunning, with plenty of space to roam around and enjoy the peaceful countryside. Jessica, the host, was super helpful and welcoming. We loved the thoughtful touches and the overall vibe of the place. If you're looking for a unique spot to embrace the country vibe or just chill with mates, Drummack Farmhouse is a top pick. Can't wait to come back and do it all again!

Highly recommended as I forgot to confirm the booking one month ago then I had to do the last minute booking to celebrate my doggie birthday. The host Jessica is super helpful and nice, she prepared some local goodies and the gift for my dog. Feeling very welcome. The cottage is really pet friendly and dog can be unleashed all the time so they can be running around the big yard and getting the chance to meet other animals. The cattles is super friendly. The cottage contains everything that we need, during night time you can see the clear sky full of stars. Strongly recommend to all pawarent and family travel, definitely a good memory to stay. Looking forward to stay again

Corrina’s glamping set up was amazing! From the creek below and the friendly donkeys and horses to the tent set up and outdoor kitchen. It was so nice to be out in nature and getting creative or just relaxing outside with a wine or in the creek having a dip. The outdoor drop toilet was also clean and comfy. We’ll definitely be back again soon! Tom & Erin

Loved Jessicas farmhouse, when we first arrived honestly the peace and quiet was music to my soul. Cute little house, loved the surroundings and you could hang out with the cows. So good there is no TV or technology although would recommend maybe some board or card games. I will be back for sure, be cute for a little besties friend getaway. Thanks Jessica for creating such a cute getaway.
