Cheyenne Wilderness Retreat Farmstay
Walcha · New England Tablelands
Guest animal feeding; specific animals and session details require operator confirmation
- Access
- Booking required
The New England Tablelands, the high country of northern NSW around Armidale, Guyra and Tenterfield, is cool-climate grazing country — and its farm experiences are mostly about staying on a working property. Roseneath Farm Stay, Oakhurst Cottage, Donegal Farmstay and the Cheyenne Wilderness Retreat all offer a night on the land with animals and farm life, while Deano's Smoked Trout Farm at Guyra opens its gate for a look at how its trout are raised and smoked.
These are booked farm stays and tours rather than pick-your-own produce, set across a scenic but spread-out district. Confirm availability and what's included with each property before you go, and pack for the tablelands' cool nights.

Mostly farm stays: Roseneath, Oakhurst Cottage, Donegal and the Cheyenne Wilderness Retreat all put you up on a working property with animals and farm life, and several welcome day interaction with the animals for staying guests. Deano's Smoked Trout Farm at Guyra adds a farm-tour option.
Several are set up for families, with animals to meet and space to roam, but activities and age suitability differ by property. Check each farm's own page and ask the operator what's on offer for children when you book.
They're spread across the tablelands from Tenterfield and Deepwater in the north down to Walcha in the south, so it's a region you drive through rather than a compact cluster. Plan your route around where you're staying, and allow for the distances between towns.
