This is one of the most pleasant surprises ever. Vivien was very kind to make arrangements for our dinner even though she wasn't around that evening. And Rob made our stay very interesting. My kids got to hold the chicks, touch the emus and see the goats, pet the pups and saw alpacas for the first time! Rob was kind enough to show us around the place even though it was raining. He even drove our car to bring us to see the glow worms at night! if you are after some real farm experience and don't mind staying with the hosts, then this is as authentic as it gets!
