Barb. and Don were great hosts and very easy to get along with and communicate with over the 3 weeks. Their home was very comfortable and cool in the very hot weather and there was plenty of fresh produce to eat from the vegetable garden and chickens. There were always vegies and eggs to pick, collect for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I'd happily spend more time on Barb. and Don's farm just south of Cowra, if I am free to help them and myself. Thanks Barb.

Fud the dog is a lovely companion. Yeo Yeo is a very friendly cat. Both live outside. The chooks are great layers! We enjoyed staying in Barbara and Don's home and they even welcomed me with a birthday cake. They prepared a delicious meal the night before they left with veggies from their own garden. Thank you for your hospitality!

Barbara and Don were very friendly and approachable home owners. We occupied their Farm House and looked after extensive area of gardens with a very abundant veggie garden. At same time cared for their animals ranging from 2 dogs, a pussy cat, chooks and 14 head of sheep that we kept an eye on. The garden supplied beautiful fresh veggies, stone fruit and the daily eggs were a bonus. For anyone looking for a "Farm Stay" and are keen gardeners this is an ideal opportunity and above all first ... MORE

Barb and Don are a lovely couple to house sit for. I enjoyed a home cooked meal the first night with them. Barb had notes and we did a walk around the place so I knew what had to done and where to find things. It was enjoyable looking after all of the animals and the garden, in return I had fresh eggs, fruit and veggies. I would house sit for Barbara again.
