Darlington Grove Farm Stay in a Renovated Dairy Lots of Animals and River Access

The farm animals - cows, sheep, pigs, horses and chickens. The kids loved collecting the eggs each day. The accommodation had everything that you require for a weekend away. We met Sam and Kate during our stay. They were very welcoming.

Our family recently stayed at this property, and while the serene location surrounded by nature was appealing, several issues made our stay disappointing.We tried using the bikes provided, as the guidebook didn’t mention any restrictions. However, a neighbor reprimanded us, making the experience uncomfortable. We avoided using the bikes afterward. Ironically, the next day, the owners and their family spent the day riding several bikes and buggies around the property, causing noise and disruption. My son seeing their kids enjoying the bikes and buggies, asked for a turn, but they ignored his request, leaving him upset. This prompted us to leave the property early to escape the discomfort.The accommodations were also unsatisfactory. One bedroom, meant for four people, was infested with insects and bedbugs, and the bed curtains appeared unwashed. Two small kids’ beds provided were uncomfortable and unsuitable for adults. My dad had back pain from the poor-quality bed and had to sleep on the floor. Showers were inadequate and the unpaved driveway became so muddy after heavy rain that our car almost got stuck. We asked for a refund after leaving a day early but the owner denied our request.While driving around we found Cedar Glen Farmstay and decided to visit. It was completely different experience warm, welcoming, and family-friendly. They allowed us to feed animals like camels, play with dogs, and interact with horses. memorable visit showed us what well managed farm stay

Fantastic location. The kids had a good time feeding the chickens and pigs. We had breakfast one day with the fresh eggs from the chickens. The bedroom was very clean and comfortable. As the kitchen and dining area are outside on the covered deck, it was a bit nippy in the morning getting breakfast. The lights outside on the deck and the bathroom window sill could do with a clean. Overall we had a great time and would recommend it to anyone wanting to get away from tv and gaming and get back to nature.

Can’t believe I didn’t know about this place being so close to Brisbane. My Daughter loved all the farm animals! Sam was so welcoming and even took us for a trip around the whole property! Creek is beautiful. Highly recommended and the dairy accommodation was divine!

Absolutely magical! From collecting eggs for breakfast to bushwalking and relaxing by the fire at night under the stars. Hosts were super friendly and genuinely love sharing this amazing place.
