Downunder Farmstays Downunder Farmstays will organise your stay on an Australian Farm whether you are travelling with a Farm activities are varied and differ in each region.

Farmstays are a rewarding cultural experience creating unforgettable memories and lasting friendships. Stay with a real Australian family, ‘on the land’, joining in daily tasks and special seasonal farm activities. Enjoy delicious home–cooked meals, in the warm and friendly family atmosphere, typical of Aussie hospitality. Often you can collect the eggs to have them cooked for your breakfast, or v

egetables to eat them fresh with your meal. There are so many experiences to enjoy on a farm, with memories of a lifetime. You cannot believe how many stars you can see in the Australian countryside at night. You won’t forget seeing ‘The Southern Cross’ and ‘The Milky Way’. At sunrise and sunset you can often see the wild kangaroos on farm properties feeding. Some farms even have tennis courts, swimming pools, table tennis tables, billiard tables and dams for yabbying or fishing. Have your farmstay arranged by us, with a farm family ready to meet and greet you, show you the local sights, provide quality ‘hearty’ meals and share their country living experiences with you. Your farmstay will include breakfasts, lunches and dinners and various farm activities with the farm family. Please select either Melbourne or Cairns to view a more detailed outline of farm activities that are offered. Downunder Farmstays only provides quality accommodation for the free independent traveller, student groups small and large and family groups. The farm families are experienced hosts and enjoy sharing and educating their visitors about farming life. Two or three nights is the ideal farmstay package to allow time to experience the various activities.

Back in 2015 (11 years ago, wow!), Downunder Farmstay founders Vicki and Stephen took a group of our farm hosts on an unforgettable trip to Japan.

It was a special opportunity for our hosts to experience the country that so many of their students call home, while immersing themselves in Japanese culture, lifestyle and incredible food.

Penny, pictured here enjoying a drink at a temple, has been hosting with Downunder Farmstays for an amazing 27 years! 💚
