Welcome to our family and friends of our first listing - Book A Paddock, and to our new gang with The Stables on Knox.
The Stables was a functioning stable, dairy and horse and cart garaging area in the properties heyday many decades ago. The cattle would be walked up a lane, be held in the cobblestone yards you have exclusive use of, be walked into the stalls, where your pizza oven now stands, manually milked, and then turned out to what is now your BBQ area.
Its now your next luxe rural getaway. Leave the tent and van behind for this little slice of the good life. Bring your bestie - even your neighbours and your fur baby for a sit back and relax experience.
The paddocks to the back of the property are yours to walk to take in the peace and the wildlife. They are abundant with kangaroos and their joeys in the spring so we ask you go quietly and slowly so they can move away slowly.
The birdsong is a great way to relax with your book, listening to the sounds of nature.

We had a wonderful time at Tinkadale Farm. A warm and friendly welcome awaited us. Beautiful property which feels in the middle of nowhere but only a short walk to civilisation.

We loved the feeling of space and calm at Tinkadale Farm. Beautiful green grass stretched out all around us, with a picturesque backdrop of trees and mountains... a great place to relax and unwind. Couldn't resist a visit to the resident goats and their little kids in their own penned-off section of the property - very entertaining! But the unexpected highlight was watching a mother koala with a bubby on her back climb down a tree, sprint across the grass and climb up another tree just behind our van... Soooo special and cute!

We came here for my 40th weekend, and had such a ball. Brendan was really helpful and friendly. I don't think the photos of the natural pool and spa do either of them justice, the outside space is absolutely stunning.
We will all very likely be back again!

Weekend Trip to The Stables On Knox
We had a wonderful stay at The Stables on Knox!
We came to take maternity photos and the property was perfect – beautiful scenery, a cute cozy house, and lots of photogenic spots inside and out. The fireplace made it extra relaxing too 😊
Some things to note: the BBQ and pizza oven in the barn were quite dirty so we didn’t use them, and the coffee machine was broken. Also, we were woken up early by a possum scratching on the roof – a true country experience, but something to keep in mind if you’re a light sleeper!
Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely recommend it!

Had an amazing couple of days at Village Green. My partner, dog and I stayed in Glamper Wings for the Easter weekend and it was the most perfect place for us who had been wanting to disconnect from the busy and chaotic life in the city. We loved that the glamper came with everything we needed - a kitchen, smart tv, shower, etc. My favourite spot was the balcony - perfect for reading and having a glass of wine while getting yourself soaked in the quiet of nature. There was also a ridge walk trail we headed to from the site, and if there's something I wished we did differently is to get up early to do the hiking when there is more time before it gets dark. I loved knowing the history of the place where Village Green now stands on and seeing how the traditional owners of the land were acknowledged in some parts of the property. We wish to go back.

Awesome camping spot. Lovely grass everywhere and surrounded by green hills. We love your time here, quiet and peaceful. Great bird life all around. The hosts were amazing, friendly and welcoming. We were sad to leave after 3 nights. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay at Tinkadale Farm! Chantelle & Rhys were wonderful hosts, and happy to answer all our questions on things to do in the area (of which there is plenty to do).
The kids loved feeding the goats on the farm, and we enjoyed nightly open fires.
A lovey stay, highly recommend.

We had an incredible stay here and I cannot recommend it enough. It’s one of my favourite places I have stayed this year, and I work in luxury travel :) The accomodation is beautiful, high end, luxury and included great amenities such as organic beauty products, a delicious breakfast hamper, nice towels and linens, laundry facilities, fully stocked kitchen, pizza oven, books, blankets, etc. My kids loved the friendly sheep and feeding the horses carrots. It was incredibly cosy and comfortable, and my only complaint was I wish we could have stayed longer than two nights!
