Carly & Steve’s farmstay was exactly the medicine we needed after two years of COVID-19 related madness!
It provided an opportunity to take a break from the rat race, forcing us to “pause & reset”, reconnecting us back to nature, simple living and reminding us that the simple pleasures in life are the most important.
Waking up to a rooster crowing and cow mooing in the distance, watching the sunrise over the property, and walking around saying “good morning” to all the farm animals first thing in the morning, coffee in hand, was so wholesome & revitalising.
We could tell how much Steve, “the cow whisperer”, loved & cared for all his animals, being so knowledgeable & aware of each animals’ unique character and individual needs. He allowed us to even give Ollie the Highlander bull a big cuddle which was definitely one of the highlights of our stay!
Carly is honestly an upcoming “medicinal woman”. The garden is spectacular, abundant with medicinal herbs, flowers, veggies & fruit. Carly’s knowledge & connection to the plants was so inspiring, particularly given our interest in permaculture & my budding endeavours as a naturopathy student. The garden tour really helped spark the “magic” back into learning about plants, and we’ve been so inspired to take our learnings & employ them back into our own home garden.
I’m sure I could probably write so much more about our stay, but the review would go on forever!
Thank you so much again Carly & Steve for having me, my partner & our furbaby dog at your homestay. You are such warm, welcoming & genuine people. Good luck with your ten year plan for the farm.
Lots of love, Flick, Gio & Rosie.
