They are great communicators. This is a very rustic place, very clean, warm rooms, comfy beds. They offer cooked dinners as they are out of town, I had the cooked dinner and it was awesome. They have a very nice selection of quality wines. They have areas on the property that you can bush walk, with a lot of birdlife and native plants. There is an unsealed dirt road of about 10km long to get to them, considering the length and type of road it is quite good. There are some bumpy rough spots. I would definitely stay there again. Good value for money. ##### Sharyn Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lyn Dec 22, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The location was great,fairly easy to access.Staff were top.notch .

You can feed farm animals, many bushwalking trails, pottery lessons, lovely cafe serving fresh wood fired pizza and home made gelato among other menu items. The staff are warm and friendly. It is a farm so expect some dust and flies, making it an authentic experience. Maria and her family have created a little oasis in The Pilliga. ##### Alicen Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Oct 6, 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities DO NOT STAY AT THIS PROPERTY. We arrived late to find no lighting, no room numbers and people in the room that we had been told would be ours. There is no after-hours contact number and no phone reception at the property. We had to drive 35km back into town at 11pm after a frightening experience and were lucky to find alternative accommodation. These people are unsafe and inconsiderate. DO NOT GO THERE. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 11, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing staying in the old School House.

The peace and quiet. The night sky. No mosquitos. Enjoyed the pottery demonstration and cafe. There are nice walks to go on . The only negative was that there was no hot water, so a cold shower. ##### Christine Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Oct 2, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Lovely family environment, but logistics very difficult if you have babies needing bottles etc. We stayed in the farmhouse which was cute, but bring all your own cups/bowls/cutlery and be prepared to queue to shower and brush your teeth! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan, Yaroomba Aug 6, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great farm stay We had a lovely stay! Comfortable room / bed and heating. We shared the bathroom with two other couples but we managed okay! We so enjoyed our panorama walk overlooking the property which took us an hour and half. My husband enjoyed his evening meal of German sausages & I the barramundi! Overall a lovely experience! ##### Susan Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Kath, Brisbane Jul 15, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Walks on the Property, Friendly hosts THe owner was very helpful with anything we needed. The pinch pot classes were excellent value at only a third of the prices charged in Brisbane. My 10 and 12 year old boys enjoyed this a lot. Although we hiked at Warrambungles and Kapatur National Parks, this property had some excellent hiking trails and walks whic hwere well maintained and had peaceful beautiful views. The Cafe had excellent food. Blankets were warm for winter and the beds comfy. ##### Kath Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lyn, James Creek NSW May 29, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We arrived after a long and arduous trip, Maria was there to welcome us, she knew the purpose of our stay was to celebrate my mums 80th, lots of focus on ensuring everything was as it should be. I thought Maria was the most authentic business person I have come across during many decades of all sorts of travel. Imagine how blown away I was to hear Maria's own mum had very recently passed yet her focus was on ours and other guests experience . By the way the whole stay was wonderful but really stood out was a sense of ethics which permeated through all the staff, I loved seeing kids playing and laughing outside with very happy hounds as well. This has prompted my first feedback for anything.....ever!!! ##### Lyn Stayed 3 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hideaki, Canberra Dec 3, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A hideout for creative nature loving individuals There's something magical, everything about Maria's place. It's about 15 mins off newell hwy, in a middle of nowhere but it felt like I was welcomed to their house and stayed there. Not only clean and comfortable the people there are friendly who are into pottery and who love being there. Very unique place and there has been a lot of hard work going in to maintain this place. Don't expect a 5 star motel and please have respect to stay at their place, it is family owned and it is a gem. Thank you for letting me stay. Incomparable to any other place and the best place I've ever stayed ##### Hideaki Stayed 1 night in Dec 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 20, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Such an amazing place! A great place for family and lots of fun to be had on the farm and such amazing pottery too. The breakfasy and dinner was suburb! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2017
