Arriving at Blackwattle Farm, over a wooden creek crossing and down along a tree-lined track, we were greeted by some very friendly puppies and Wormie, a piglet whose personality is in inverse proportion to his size.
Once we had dropped our things at the gorgeous bungalow (which has an excellent iPod playlist by the way), we headed up the hill to meet Emma, our host and owner of the property.
At 4pm it was feeding time and we spent a good hour playing, feeding and learning about all the animals on the farm. From the cheeky and playful baby goats, to the aloof alpacas. Our kids had a wonderful time and it was so nice to see them enjoying being on a farm for the afternoon.
For the evening we had a bonfire in the backyard, roasting marshmallows and sausages, as well as some seafood we had brought which we cooked on the barbecue. All washed down with a glass of red looking at the stars as the embers died.
The bungalow is well insulated and so kept us warm all night long.
Overall I would love to have stayed for at least 2 days to make the most of this wonderful farm stay.
