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 vegetables 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.
