About this property

Family friendly farm retreat, only 10 mins from Jindabyne

A true High Country farm stay.

Relax and unwind in our slice of heaven. Set in the heart of the Snowy Mountains and only 10 minutes from Jindabyne - the snowfields are right at your fingertips without the hustle and bustle of town.

Collect fresh eggs, toast marshmallows over the open fire, pick and cook from our home grown veggies and soak in the beautiful mountain sunsets over a glass of wine.

Our 120 acre farm is an animal lovers haven. We have sheep, cattle, horses and ponies, goats, peacocks, ducks, chickens and more!
Our resident dogs will greet you with a wagging tail and a ball, the ponies will be ready and waiting to receive treats. Acres of high country paddocks to explore, relax by the fire and watch the sun go down over the mountains.
Plenty of space for the kids to run around, climb, ride bikes.
Our boutique accomodation is limited to only 3 cabins - perfect for family groups! Families and couples are able to enjoy their own space through their stay.

Resorts 45 mins away, are great fun but can be tiring for young children and adults, we offer a perfect place to come back to each day. Parents get to relax in front of the fire and the children are kept busy and entertained with the many farm animals, playground and exploring the farm. Toast marshmallows over our open camp fire, collect free range eggs; pick your own home grown veggies to cook, herbs and strawberries when in season. On a clear night see a million stars or take a torch lit walk in search of possums and owls. We are surrounded by our pristine high country, boasting exceptional views from many parts of the property. Watch birds, kangaroos and other wildlife in natural bushland from one of our walking or mountain bike tracks.

5 & 7 night discounts available.

Cabins sleep 4-6 people each and include 1x queen bed, 1x single set bunk bed, 1x single bed and additional single trundle if required. Rates shown are per cabin.
Our property has an AAA 4 star rating.

"Perfect Family Retreat: A Peaceful Farm Stay Near Jindabyne"
We had an incredible stay at this family-friendly farm retreat, just 10 minutes from Jindabyne! The location is perfect—close enough to town for convenience, yet far enough to enjoy the peaceful, natural surroundings. Our kids loved exploring the farm, meeting the animals, and spending time outdoors. The accommodations were clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts were warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. If you're looking for a relaxing, rural getaway with the family, this is the perfect spot. We can't wait to return!

Nice
It was a great little spot and we enjoyed meeting the other families around the camp fire. Hosts were a lovely old couple and it was great chatting to them. Only downside was it was a little further into town than we thought.

Highland lodge farm stay is absolutely amazing!
Bob and Gwen are the most wonderful hosts, who are so informative and welcoming! The property is just simply amazing - the farm animals, the playground and views are second to none ... the kids were endlessly entertained either by collecting chicken eggs, or picking Logan berries, strawberries, herbs and edible mushrooms. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Pleasant and relaxing
The accommodation was clean with all the basic needs and the owners were very friendly and accommodating. Our young children enjoyed all the animals, collecting the eggs and playing on the equipment. We toasted marshmallows over the camp fire to finish off a pleasant trip. Location is good just 10 minutes from town and 40 minutes to ski fields.

A beautiful quiet relaxing location
A beautiful quiet location. Accommodation was comfortable. unfortunately it rained all weekend so we did not get to take full advantage of the property but the kids loved feeding the chickens and seeing the animals. Staff were helpful and friendly overall we enjoyed our stay even on a rainy weekend.

Much needed escape
We had such a wonderful time - both our kids loved the house and the playground, giggled over the animals, enjoyed the marshmallow roasting in the bonfire pit, and got excited over the Discovery Trail (which we ended up doing as a family because we had so much fun trying to find the landmarks). It was a full moon during our stay and we had an unobstructed view of it and star gazing was definitely a must. Thank you so much for letting us experience your wonderful property. We hope to book again this summer (and definitely next winter).

Great stay with young kids
We loved our 2 days at Highland Lodge! Our 2 small kids loved the animals, running around, and it was a massive highlight to roast marshmallows by the fire at night. It was a quick drive to get to the snow, and also a relief to come back to a little oasis in the afternoons. Thanks for a great stay.
