A relaxing weekend with family
We had a two night stay at Fingal Farm. The house was perfect for six adults and had everything we could possibly need. Lounging around on the large veranda was perfect. Feeding the animals and fossil hunting in the old quarry was also a lot of fun. About a 30 minute drive and we were at the beautiful Seal Rocks. Rob was quick to reply to any questions we had and was a great host. We hope to be back, maybe for a bit longer next time. Thanks for a great weekend

Brilliant
We stayed for 3 nights, which gave us plenty of time to explore some local sights the local quarry, and just around the farm. We loved feeding the animals. We also found the house very homely and comfortable. It was an old fashioned holiday home, which has toys, games, books, great kitchen, gum boots etc. etc.. Also, it is very centrally located, but the farm is well off the main roads, so very private and quiet. Rob was a great host. We hope to go back.

Wonderful relaxing farm stay
I enjoyed a very relaxing farm stay with family. The property is very large and there is plenty to keep you occupied - with the goats, llama, dexter cattle, and miniature horses, not to mention a walk to the river. Or you can relax in the farmhouse. Every convenience is catered for. Bathrooms and kitchen has been recently renovated. You won't be disappointed. Thanks Rob, we will be back next year.

Cosy Farm house
We had 3 couples in our late 20's stay over new year. The house was fine but could do with some TLC! There were a lot of cobwebs in the ceilings ect... the main air con was great but the unit in the bedroom didn't work and the ceiling fans were incredibly noisey. The seal on the fridge also didn't seem to work properly. The farm animals were awesome and this would be such a fun place for kids. It was very hot so we had many trips to blueys and seal rocks and even the Great Lakes winery which was lovely! For the price this place was very reasonable. Thanks for having us!

Amazing little farm! Our 3 kids had a ball feeding the animals and looking for fossils in the quarry. Short drive to Seal Rocks for a dip in the oven was great and plenty of trails to explore. The accommodation is great, we are a family of 5 and we have plenty of space. The house is well appointed and comfortable. Contact from the owners was amazing. We will be back!

Fingal Farm Stay
We had a wonderful time with the kids staying at Fingal Farm, feeding the friendly animals, finding fossils and playing amongst the beautiful bush land setting. We stayed for three days and didn’t leave the farm as there was so much to do! The house was very spacious and comfortable with a huge verandah to sit and play on. We didn’t want to leave and hope to get back again soon!

Beautiful area, great house and so well-set up for an easy holiday. Fantastic wrap-round veranda perfect for lounging and with gates to keep your dog in at night. Great fun feeding the animals with the kids and sloshing around in the la nina mud. Gumboots and raincoats all provided. Kitchen with everything you need and some. So close to a number of coastal adventures as well as Buladelah, Taree and Foster. Hard to go home.

A Great Place To Stay
We had a great weekend. Everything was provided to make it a most comfortable and enjoyable stay. Feeding the animals was a highlight as were the conveniences provided in the form of the log fire, toys for the children, a library of books, dvds and games. The kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of room for our group of 8. The expansive verandah was an added bonus in the wet weather and it was lovely to look out on the well maintained house paddock.

Experienced farm life
It was great to get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy farm life. We loved the routine we had of opening the gate in the morning for the boer goats and then onto feeding the miniature horses. They also got groomed at the same time before heading back for a card game or game of ping pong.
