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, feed the cows, donkeys, sheep and goats and our little horse. Our chooks, ducks, turkeys,guinea fowl and chickens will love you to give them some attention too.The family will enjoy collecting the eggs for breakfast and looking in the secret hiding places.We have  Talia the goat. Definitely a  favourite!!!.A new addition to the farm is Chester the miniature horse. Angus is our  calf that has a bottle even though he is much too old.   All our animals eat bread  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.

You will love our talking birds.Polly says hello and quite a few other words,Rosie does a lot of mumbling to you, jack says hello as well. 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.At present we have a lamb that is bottle fed and a lamb feeding from her mother. Our friendly dogs Jenny and Buster love to be taken for a walk and play with you.

Small bikes and billycarts are available for the little children to enjoy and safe riding tracks nearby if you want to bring your own bikes. We have lots of open space for the kids to run and dig and play. There is also a small playground and a trampoline.The kids love to sit on the tractor or have  a ride in the wheelbarrow to take out the hay.

If Farmer Tom is around 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
