Great place for families
We had a lovely holiday at The Hatch. Susan was very friendly and went the extra mile to give the kids some great experiences with the baby animals. The cottage had everything we needed and it was easy to get to the beaches and restaurants Port Macquarie.

The BEST place we have ever stayed!
We enjoyed the warmest, most welcoming experience at The Hatch Farm. Our kids have spoken about how much they loved their time there and how kind Bernard and Susan both are. We will absolutely be back again. Thank you so so much for giving us all a wonderful stay.

Best farm stay ever
I have never seen a farm stay as clean and modern as this one. The property was so clean amd it has been fully renovated. Great location with only 15 mins drive away from port Macquarie. Big thank you to Sue and Mag helping out on check in and sorting out the BBQ. The complimentary animal tour brings a lot of fun too. This will be my accomodation for my next trip to Port Macquarie

Fabulous farm stay on the river with plenty to see and do.
Bernard and Susan welcomed us to their property and shared their beautiful animals and with us. The kids loved playing with the dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs. There was paddling on the river, jumping on the trampoline and joining in at animal feeding time. The property was a short drive to Port Macquarie and we also went strawberry picking just up the road. We enjoyed our stop over on the way to QLD and the home was clean and comfortable and roomy enough for our family of 6. Thank you, we enjoyed our stay.

Comfy country cottage
Great setup in a beautiful riverside setting. Fenced yard for pets. The only downside was a booking in the homestead next door. Loud family arguments and dogs roaming free meant we had to restrict our dogs movements, and curtailed exploration. Host got an automated message that we had checked out and arrived to clean the place before we had left. No big deal, but a faulty system.

Best Farm Stay Ever
Wow this was by far one of the best places my partner and i have stayed with our Staffy. Susan and Bernard are the most kindest and nicest hosts and so accommodating. The retreat is close to Port Macquarie and other surrounding areas. The home was so homely, the beds comfortable and the house just perfect. All the animals were so friendly, my dog made friends with the horses and the Ram and the resident dog Chloe. The farm tour was awesome and we were lucky to be there when the foal was born as well as the calf and rabbits and chickens. The little beach was beautiful and was great to go fishing even though we didn't catch any fish, it was just nice to sit and relax by the water, the farm fresh eggs were so yummy. Thankyou Susan. The only negative we have is we had to go home, we will definitely be back.

Beautiful Farm Cottage
We all loved staying in this very comfortable, cozy, & quiet cottage. Everything about it was perfect. Surrounded by farm animals, ponies, goats, puppies, & bunnies! And the river with kayaks! We didn’t miss not having a good wifi connection, because there were so many things to do, & all a short drive from Port Macquarie. My only regret is that we didn’t have time to stay longer. But I do hope to return 😁 Excellent welcome by owner who was very responsive to any requests. Thank you!

Very pleasant stay but needs a few tweaks
Overall fairly satisfactory experience but 1) Would be helpful to show a map with local eateries 2) Have milk stocked for guests to make cup of tea 3) Notified we were not bringing our dogs with us before we left home, so Bernard mentioned we were owed money ( I assume re. cleaning fee) on speaking with him, however have not had any follow-up. 3) The leather lounge in living area was covered with dust & dirt, must have been missed by cleaner.

What a wonderful place for a relaxing break. Susan and Bernard are so warm and welcoming. Everything was perfect. The house was spotlessly clean, neat and well equipped. The dogs had a great time too, swimming in the river and at the beach. We will return to The Hatch.
