Upon check-in, we were informed that we had been upgraded to the Mexicana suite at no charge because they were concerned that we wouldn’t have enough space in the cottage we’d booked. We instantly loved everything about the situation. There was a lot of beautiful open space for the kids to play and we were told that we could feel free to roam at our liesure.

We were invited to help feed the animals twice per day, which included hand-feeding the sheep and chickens, giving carrots to the horses, and giving scraps to Bella the pig. We were also able to visit Joe, a sweet little kangaroo who chooses to spend her time lazing about the farm.
None of us ever tired of relaxing on the farm, taking in the amazing views, or letting the gentle breezes wash over us as we sat on the decks. There are also many games and sports equipment to occupy the time, including a billiards table. We loved it so much that we extended our stay.
My only complaint is that we had to leave at all!
Robyn, Ezie, and Jay are incredibly kind, attentive, and genuine hosts. We felt so welcome each and every moment. A truly wonderful experience that saved our trip!

The kids loved the cozy fire pit every night also!

Plenty of space and 2 bedrooms. We woke up to cows and peacocks looking through our windows. The animals are really friendly and calm and handled our busy 2 year old well. Our 9m old baby even helped out feeding carrots to Nakota the horse. My favourite was feeding the alpacas. Robyn and Ezie are wonderful hosts, very patient and kind and encouraged our 2 year old to have a go. By the end of the week he was really confident with the animals. We will definitely be back, hoping to return with the extended family and book the place out, it is a perfect set up for it. Thank you for a wonderful stay! Kathleen & Craig More

The kids (and adults) loved feeding the animals, their confidence grew and they couldn't wait to feed them all. The variety of animals is just great and being able to really get involved was awesome. The farm, the rooms, the environment, the activities available for the adults and kids are fabulous. I couldn't recommend Clandulla highly enough and hope to return soon.

  We have just returned from a beautiful family getaway at Clandulla Cottages. After an extremely busy and stressful couple of weeks we could feel it all melting away within a... read more short time of arriving on the farm. The peace, quiet and beautiful surrounds was just what we needed. Our children thoroughly enjoyed the hands on interaction with all of the animals. The tranquility around the fire pit of an evening was a beautiful way to end our day. We were very comfortable in the Mexican suite and enjoyed the farm and mountain views. We also appreciated the pool table and kids equipment which kept the kids entertained. Thank you for your hospitality, we can’t wait to come back. Our daughter is still saying she feels sad because she is missing all of her animal friends she made especially JoJo the kangaroo. More

We unpacked in our open plan self contained Mexican themed cottage that comfortably slept 6 of us. Immaculately clean & cosy, with the comfort of city living facilities, spacious, kitchen with all the necessities, back deck to relax, big front deck with BBQ pool table seating, and even toys for little kids.

Oh the serenity waking up each morning to nature outside your window.....feeling relaxed overlooking the never ending countryside...

Each morning and afternoon guests are welcome to help with the animal feeding. Yes we excelled at this and the animals didn’t runaway when they saw us...they came towards us! A real hands on experience.

Each evening after Paul cooked our BBQ dinner, we would play pool on the deck, board games or sit around the warm fire pit (8 steps from our deck) under the stars and burning marshmallows

This was our second family holiday at Clandulla Cottages Farmstay...but we will not be waiting another 9yrs until we visit again...we all need to slow down, breathe, embrace nature and relax under the stars more often ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨
