Braidwood Farm Stay & Cafe
Overview
A place to restore your soul. Pop in to meet the Farm Animals. Have a treat or meal at their Cafe. Have fun in the Children's Playground.
Go for an Adventure Walk, photographing wild animals for our competition (seven types of animals/insects/reptiles for a prize), and snack on bush tucker.
Take a Picnic out and relax in the hammock Ride a Horse. Invite your friends for a Farm Party.
Stay in a self-contained Tiny House or shared Clubhouse.
Or just sit on the deck or swing in a hammock and have your simple, healthy delicious meals and refreshments brought to you. If children are with you, you can relax knowing they’re safe and entertained horse riding with the Saddle Camp girls, or playing in the playground nearby.
You’re welcome to help with the farm work moving the horses, chickens and goats to fresh grazing, and harvesting that day’s produce needed in the kitchen. And snack on bush tucker, fruit and veggies off the plants as you go.
You could take a picnic and a hammock to a secluded hilltop (each picnic hamper comes with its own treasure map to a private picnic place), and relax with a bottle of wine and a delicious lunch.
And at night, you can have your dinner served to you under the stars at your Tiny House.
