We absolutely loved staying at cartapo creek farm. The kids (4yr and 6yr) loved it. We loved milking Margery and tasting her milk. The kids (and parents) loved looking at all the animals especially the naughty piglets. I loved the little stall with seeds and honey. We are looking forward to having lamb for dinner tonight. Can't wait to come back. Thanks so much for having us 😁

Easter Camping
We had a perfect Easter weekend camping at Cartpo Creek hobby farm! We love how peaceful it was in the paddock with amazing views of the hills, paddocks and the wind farms. The sun sets through the trees were my favourite. All of the animals were great and the kids loved seeing them everyday, especially the pigs that free run around the paddock! We even got to milk a cow for the first time. The cheese kranskies and the roast chicken from Oliver tasted perfect in the Webber. Everyone was so welcoming and inviting. Thank you. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stayed at Oliver's land! It was a peaceful spot with beautiful views of the hills. We were given the opportunity to watch their cow being milked and got to try some milk too! Great hosts and a lovely location.

Farm stay camping
This was our first Hipcamp experience and we both absolutely loved it! We visited the pigs , watched as Margery the Jersey cow was milked and Oliver & Chloe even gave us some fresh milk to take home, along with some farm to plate small goods that we had preordered.. I even got a kiss from Jackson the Alpaca, who stole my heart. Waking up in the morning to a gorgeous sunrise was also magical. Both Oliver & Chloe were super friendly and couldn’t do enough for us, we will definitely revisit if we are ever back in South Australia. 😎

We woke up Saturday am and decided to go away for the night! We wanted to do something different and stumbled across Oliver’s place! Highly recommend. Piglets, pigs, cows and sheep! Had a great time milking the cow!
