Beautiful property and accommodation. Corrina is very welcoming, and generous in giving access to her animals and the ceek and rock pool. Love having cuddles with the donkeys. It was everything we hoped it would be. Thank you very much for having us
Corrina and her husband were absolutely lovely and immaculate hosts with a beautiful property and even lovelier animals all around. My fiancè and I stayed in the cabin over Valentine’s Day and it was absolutely perfect, from the lovely rock pools and the river to the horses, donkeys and dogs. The hosts even left out wine and chocolates for us because it was Valentine’s Day haha it was amazing 5 stars.
We love love love Corina’s and Marks farm they are amazing their property is fantastic, We have stayed here a number of times my kids love it I love it we love the animals. It is a beautiful place to take your family the kids will be outdoors more then in.

Very nicely finished space, lovely location and friendly host. A great little getaway from city life.
Second time back for a chill 20th with my friends and partner. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for the weekend! The animals and river are amazing bonuses with the cabin- we've all decided we'll be back again and hopefully in time to see the new baby donkey!
A back to nature reset my kids and i desperately needed! Found this gem in Illinbah-close to so many great places with a creek bed, fresh country air-but the animals were the real stars! My kids (adult and school aged) were simply besotted with them all-absolute highlight with everything you need to just turn up & unwind
My friend and I stayed here for a weekend getaway recently. What an awesome experience! The host Corrina was really accommodating and so friendly. The charming cottage was truly amazing and the picturesque location was absolutely beautifu. Property has a glorious backdrop featuring a mountain and flowing creek with plenty of tame animals to feed and cuddle. It was so nice to get back to nature, relax by the fire pit, engage with the animals and take it all in. All your stresses just melt away! One night was not enough.

Beautiful Property, perfect for animal lovers.
hosts a very accomodating and friendly. great for every season. swimming in the stream in summer and sitting by the fire in winter
would deffinitly stay again.
wonderful place to escape city life.
owners are very generous with access to their property, animals and their time.
we are already planning a return trip!
Overall its a pretty good place, and with the animals and creek swimming hole, it really was a wonderful stay for my 10yr old grandson.
But there were just a few things that may be need a re-think by the owners:
1. The main bedroom was extremely hot and it wasn't even hot weather - mid 20s. The fan in the room made no difference, and the A/C in the lounge had no impact.
2. There is a front and rear entrance to the house. The front entrance is not covered, so anything left on the verandah is not protected from the rain. Unfortunately, the rear entrance, which is covered and would be perfect for leaving dirty shoes outside, has a pool gate on it so the children cannot access it. Simply changing this gate would make it way more practicle for wet weather.
3. Although there is a drier, there is no clothes rack or line undercover for air drying. We were swimming a lot and needed to hang our gear so that it could drip dry a bit.
So in the end, it is a bit of a pain if you are staying there in wet weather, but this could easily be fixed with a few simple tweaks.
So beautiful & relaxing. Our 2 night stay was the perfect break from everyday life. The dogs are fantastic and great company - the horses and donkeys a delight to feed right outside our accommodation- thank you for a perfect weekend xx

Loved the farm animals and the rock pools.
The drive there was very nice.
So fun to stay in what was once an old dairy in rolling hills of Illinbah
Crazy weather, cute little shetlands everywhere and a comfortable bed

Cute little farm stay
Little bit further out than I expected but the horses are lovely
Peaceful spot right on the Coomera river. Lovely, comfortable little house. Great spot for adventurous kids exploring the creek and interacting with the friendly and equally adventurous animals. Hosts were very welcoming. Highly recommend for a weekend away.
The ambience of a true farm stay.
Homely and thoughtfully appointed.
Very comfortable.
Excellent for a couple who may want time away from the fast life.
Or a family with younger children.

Beautiful property with very friendly animals and welcoming hosts. It was so lovely to get away from our busy life and enjoy the fresh air, stars, firepit, interaction with horses, donkeys and the most gorgeous friendly dogs that became our mates. We swam in the rock pools (with the dogs) and saw turtles but not the elusive platypus- definitely next time! I can’t recommend this place enough. Loved it.
The property is so beautiful and the hosts Corina and Mark are lovely, welcoming and helpful. The farm is gorgeous and the animals were amazing to spend time with. The weekend in nature that I needed. Thank you! Xo
