Fawcett Country Cottage

Chooks love attention ...

Experience all the fun of the farm at any time of the day.This is the place for children to become confident and up close and personal with farm animals.

 Feed the geese on the dam, handfeed the cows, donkeys, sheep and goats. Our chooks, ducks, turkeys,guinea fowl and chickens will love you to give them some attention too.They walk around together on the farm.The family will enjoy collecting the eggs for breakfast and looking in the secret hiding places.We have Ember the goat (who is a mother herself)who still loves to have a bottle .At the moment we have Max the lamb who follows the kids around looking for his bottle.All our animals eat bread from your hand and your scraps from the cottage. It is a great help if you can bring your old bread or vegetables to feed the animals as it is getting very expensive to provide.

e have Harry the rabbit and Luke the guinea pig to cuddle and feed.You will love our talking birds.Polly says hello and quite a few other words. The donkeys,Ned and Mandy, and Arnie the horse are ready every evening for their special treat of bread.You can hear them calling you when it is time.

If you are lucky there could be other baby animals to bottle feed. Our friendly dogs Jenny and Buddy love to be taken for a walk and play with you.

An enjoyable farm experience is helping milk our lovely cow,Daisy with our son Dylan(15) and to assist him sometimes our international visitors(wwoofers) You can feed her and give her a brush. You can taste the creamy milk straight from the cow.Watch the calves drinking from them if we have one at the time. Feed the geese on the dam at the same time.

Bikes and billycarts are available for the children to enjoy and safe riding tracks nearby. We have lots of open space for the kids to run and dig and play.

If Farmer Tom is well enough he will take you for a ride on the property in his vintage Austin 7 car named Brum and if you are very lucky his Austin A 30 which is his pride and joy.

Best of all is the friendly welcoming atmosphere around the farm where you and the family are included as part of our farm life. You can go where you like and do as much or as little as you want.You will want to return again and again to Fawcett Farmstay. All our guests become friends and regular visitors to see what is happening at the farm.We hope you become a part of this experience as well.

We have lots more to show you of the farm. Please view our Farm Activities Image Gallery
