🏕️ on a petting farm 🐐🦌🐈🐖🫏🐥

We absolutely LOVED staying here as a family. Josie was extremely efficient at receiving us and getting us settled in. The facilities were the cleanest we’ve experienced to date on our 4,500km Road Trip. The location is beautiful and we had a private tour of the farm the following morning even watching Ginny Fowl hatch and holding chicks 🐣 I think I may have even caught a glimpse of a platypus but you really do have to be super quiet 🤫 Cooking facilities were also great and well kept - we really recommend this spot as a great option for camping families 🏕️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 and given the opportunity we would stop by again without hesitation! Keep up the good work Josie & Team 👍

Beautiful grounds and amenities! Thank you Josie and Jodie for making us feel so welcome. Our boys loved meeting your animals and the time that you spent with them showing us your property. We hope to be back!

We stayed at a powered site which was very close to the spotless amenities block and the animals. The grounds were immaculate and the animals were obviously well cared for. Josie was friendly and very patient with my very excited children. Our early morning stroll to the billabong paid off with the sighting of a platypus.

The perfect family farm stay!

We had the best time at Jarradale. Josie was fantastic. The animals are loved and so friendly. My two boys 6 and 5 had the best experience. The farm was well maintained and amenities were spotless. It was beautiful to sit by the billabong and watch the platypus. There aren’t many rules, not anything that a respectful camper or good parent wouldn’t already do. Woolworths Marketplace just up the road. We hope to stop back in again on our travels. Thank you Josie & Lawrence!
