Chuckem Farmstay
Highbury · WA Wheatbelt
feed farm animals; observe sheep shearing, cropping or harvesting when farm timing permits
- Access
- Booking required
The Western Australian Wheatbelt, the broad grain-growing country inland of Perth around Narrogin, is quiet, wide-open farming land where a farm stay is the experience. Mary's Farm Cottages at Kukerin, Eden Valley Farmstay at Narrogin, Chuckem Farmstay at Highbury, The Mains Guest House at Corrigin and Lindum Farm Stay all put you on a working farm, several with animals to meet, tractor activity or seasonal farm events.
These are booked stays and on-farm activities rather than pick-your-own produce, spread across the central grain belt a few hours from Perth. Confirm what's running and what's included with each property before you travel.

Beyond a bed on a working farm, several properties offer hands-on farm life — meeting and helping with animals at Chuckem and The Mains, a tractor and farm activities at Mary's Farm Cottages, and seasonal farm events at Lindum. What's on depends on the season and the property, so ask when you book.
The central Wheatbelt around Narrogin and Corrigin is roughly a two-to-three-hour drive east and south-east of Perth, making these farm stays a genuine country escape rather than a day trip. Distances between towns out here are large, so plan your fuel and stops.
Farm stays with animals and space to explore suit many families, but each property is different and activities vary with the season. Check the individual farm's page and confirm what's available for children directly with the operator.
