Farm stays in New South Wales

New South Wales carries 44 farm stays with a genuine activity attached — the deepest list in the country and the most varied. Within easy reach of Sydney, Mowbray Park FarmStay at Picton runs a full program: feeding the donkey, goats, chickens and nursery animals, plus whip cracking, boomerang throwing and pony activities. In the Hunter, Starline Alpacas Farmstay at Broke pairs the stay with alpaca feeding and advertises public day visits in selected periods. Up on the Tweed, Hosanna Farmstay at Stokers Siding offers daily animal feeding, a walking farm tour and Meet the Bunnies sessions. Bilpin, Kangaroo Valley and the Southern Highlands add orchard and cottage stays where the farm work is quieter but still real.

42 verified farm stays in New South Wales, each checked against the farm's own sources.

Frequently asked questions

How many farm stays are there in New South Wales?

We list 42 verified farm stays in New South Wales — each desk-checked against the farm's own website, booking page or official social channel on the date shown. Availability and seasonal activities change, so confirm directly with the farm before you travel.

Do I need to book farm stays in New South Wales in advance?

Yes — almost all of the New South Wales farm stays listed here require advance booking. Working properties run to the animals' schedule, and hosted farms typically operate activity sessions on set times or by appointment. Each listing shows the access model and links to the farm's own booking page where one exists; don't arrive unannounced at a working property.

What should I pack for a farm stay in New South Wales?

Closed-in shoes you don't mind dirtying are non-negotiable on any working farm — yards and animal areas are not sandal country, and several operators won't let children into the animal areas in open footwear. Bring layers for an early start, a torch for unlit tracks, sun protection, and any medication you rely on — the nearest chemist can be an hour away. Check whether the property supplies food and firewood or whether you need to bring your own; many are self-catering. Mobile reception is patchy at many rural New South Wales properties, so download your directions before you turn off the highway.
