About this farm stay rental

Come and experience country life on our 130 acre property, surrounded by bushland, walking tracks, paddocks, farm animals, wild native animals and our commercial aquaponics system, where we produce the freshest herbs and greens you will ever taste!

Located in the Southern Highlands of NSW, each season brings new natural beauty. Each season needs to be experienced. From snow covered landscapes, to bursting blooms, vibrant coloured leaves and hot Aussie summers! Unique experiences await you.

We are about 15 minutes from Moss Vale and 25 minutes from Bowral. Both locations have ample opportunity to shop or dine out.

Our major hospital is located in Bowral.


As an operating farm, you are welcome to assist with some of the tasks around the property. From feeding the animals, rounding them up, learning how to build a farm fence, planting seedlings in our greenhouse, harvesting our herbs and greens, or maybe searching for a spectacular protea in our large protea garden.

Or, sit back and relax. A picnic around Wellspring Dam and garden, a walk around the property, rest on the rear verandah of the cottage, or take in the local attractions.

Cottage

Located privately on our property, you will immediately feel at home and experience a complete sense of calmness and relaxation once you arrive at the cottage.

A lovely red cedar cottage, completely renovated internally, with a new kitchen, new 1.5 bathrooms (one full and a half bathroom), lounge room.... completely new! You will not be disappointed.

There are 4 bedroom areas. Main bedroom with a queen sized bed, the second room with a double bed, with a single bunk bed above and also a pull out trundle bed.

Upstairs there is a loft area with two bedroom areas, each area has two single beds. A great retreat for 4 kids (or 4 adults).

There is a large front and rear verandah, the rear verandah overlooking a very private back yard, with a large solid timber table for 12 people. Plenty of lights and a heater outside too.

The lounge room is a cosy spot, with a wood heater, TV (Foxtel) a few lounges, where you can kick back and relax.

Pets are welcome. We charge a once off $30 pet fee. Please bring your own pets bedding. If your pet sleeps on our bedding we will charge a $350 bedding replacement fee.

What to do when you are here?

As with any holiday, it's really up to you how much or how little you do.

Families with kids will want to experience most of what is on offer.

Couples may want an intimate private getaway, go for walks, maybe a picnic.
So here are a few ideas for you.

Early morning, frost is still on the ground, and the animals are already stirring waiting to be fed! So it's up and out to the paddock to feed the horses, sheep, alpacas and goats! They will be your best friends while you are here.

Boots on, orientation map out, bottled water in your back pack, and you are off for a 10km bushwalk over to the gorge, through it if you are keen, and back again. Certainly only for the experienced bush walker that has prepared!

Packed picnic, a bottle of local Pinot Noir, cheese, crackers and a lunch hamper. You walk down to Wellspring Dam which is a dam that is fed by a very deep well in the centre of it. The water is crystal clear! We have added many beautiful trees around the dam and you can sit and take in the view. A beautiful setting for a couple!

Feeling game? Table tennis, pool, Kelly pool, darts.... you head down to the games room and have fun with the whole family. Big screen TV with the footy on.... or not! (Only a short 5 minute walk from the cottage, or 1 minute drive).

Gym junky? Head down to the games room and use the well-equipped gym. Free weights, and a gym machine. Then a 4km jog around the property, back to the cottage. Sit on the back deck with a nice cold bottle of water, and you are ready to tackle the day!

Feeling green today!? Work clothes on, work boots on and you're off to the greenhouse. 600 Zipgrow towers full of herbs and greens. The smell is amazing. Help plant a few herbs and greens, pick a few to use for your dinner tonight. Feed the silver perch fish. Maybe catch a silver perch for dinner tonight!!! You will be very satisfied helping out in the greenhouse.

Got a big group coming.... pull out the spit and crank up the fire... we are having a pig on the spit tonight!! Keeping an eye on the progress of the cooking during the day, over a beer or two!! Our spit can accommodate a large lamb/pig or side of beef.

The kids can hear the tractor coming!!! Time for a hay ride! We have a large farm tractor and a trailer we fill with hay to take the kids (and adults) for a hay ride around the property.

Sit around the bonfire, roasting marshmallows, telling a few stories, play the guitar and sing a few songs!! Nothing beats a great night under the stars sitting around a large camp fire!!

What a wonderful experience! Everything about this property was fantastic, the games room was a hit with the teenagers, the house was warm, cosy and relaxing. Frank and his family were so lovely and helped us to have a really cool farm experience with all his gorgeous animals. The location of the property was just spectacular. Thanks for having us we would absolutely come back again.

Fantastic hosts, location, facilities. Our group of 4 visited for a 2nd time at Morton Park hosted by Frank and his wonderful family. Our stay at the cabin was top class, added with spending time with everyone and Frank's family & friends at the famous 'Man Cave'. Cant recommend this spot enough and we will definitely be back again! 6 stars 🌟

We loved staying here. It was beautiful and peaceful, and we really enjoyed the fireplace, roasting marshmallows in the rain. The pictures don't do the place justice. We went to say hello to the animals and feed the pig our veggie scraps on the way out.

The host were very welcoming and it was great to get away from the city and see the various farm animals and wildlife walking through the property. The games room was also very enjoyable

It was perfect for us to stay as we had a 70 th birthday party not far away. There is a games room near the main homestead which is a close walk from where we were staying, it was a shame we didn’t have time to use it .

Morton Park Rural Retreat is located not too far away from the Hume Highway and therefore not too remote, but just far away to provide a blissful and quiet stay. The cottage we stayed in had great amenities and was comfortable enough to host a party of 10! The kids had fun feeding the farm animals and both adults and kids had a blast utilising their games room. Hosts were very friendly.

We were a group of 7 adults doing the southern highlands and south coast trip from Sydney. We had a great time staying overnight in the cosy cottage, especially with the fireplace (with firewood supplied) and cooking up a storm in the kitchen. It was raining on the day we arrived so we didn't explore the surroundings. We did have lovely weather the next morning and Renelee, the kids and their cat gave us the tour around the farm, showing us how to feed the horses, alpacas, pig and chickens. Some of my family were visiting from overseas and they had so much fun, it was a very memorable stay.
