From our past guests

  • We adored our stay. Thanks so much Paul and Amanda for being so welcoming and for creating a beautiful, country escape so close to (but feels so far from) our city life. Wishing we could stay for longer and hope to be back soon. A morning bath and visits from the horses and the puppies were highlights of ours. As well as cooking up pancakes on the BBQ and admiring the incredible starry night sky. Coffee was delicious and we appreciated all the thoughtful touches that went in to making such a beautiful space.

  • Beautiful spot for a night or two. So many lovely thoughtful details in the tent, and the surrounding area and set up is pristine. Wake up for sunrise to see the horses and take a walk around their lovely dam. Our hosts, Amanda and Paul were really friendly and welcoming, we would definitely recommend their place and hopefully can come back again!

    Jess, Sydney

  • Wow, words don't suffice for how beautiful Twigley Farm is! The hosts checked in to make sure we were happy and content during our stay and the view from our glamping tent was amazing. We were delighted to see horses roaming around from our bed and loved seeing all the other farm animals. It was truly a breath taking and romantic place to stay.

The Space

Our queen bed looks out to the cattle grazing in the paddock and the wind blowing through the tall grass. She's cozy with everything you need to luxuriate, and the electric fireplace will keep you warm during those cold winter nights.

Soak in the claw foot bath in our restored private outhouse. Make sure to open the antique windows for views out over the countryside and a glimpse at the horses grazing.

The Forager is all yours, and the space around is shared by our family and farm animals. Sometimes the area around our Glamping is very quiet, and sometimes a tractor may be in the paddock or our horses are grazing nearby.

Wander up the driveway and down the grass path to the dam which is a great spot for a morning coffee or a sunset wine. You will see some farm animals along the way, if you would like to feed them just let us know and we'll introduce you!
