Absolutely magical! From collecting eggs for breakfast to bushwalking and relaxing by the fire at night under the stars. Hosts were super friendly and genuinely love sharing this amazing place.
Can’t believe I didn’t know about this place being so close to Brisbane. My Daughter loved all the farm animals! Sam was so welcoming and even took us for a trip around the whole property! Creek is beautiful. Highly recommended and the dairy accommodation was divine!
Lovely property with really practical and quirky accommodation. The kids had a ball exploring the property, and playing in the creek I even got to relax!
Great hosts!
What an awesome place. The kids loved everything about the place. Great for the city kids to experience farm life. Also the farm down the road, Tommerup, has a shop where you can get all your meat, farm veggies and milk. Thanks to the hosts for making it such a great holiday
What a delight to stay at Kate and Sam’s place. We felt welcomed like family, the children played like dear friends. The ambience is so peaceful, the old milk shed/ cottage so tastefully and fittingly designed and furbished.
We loved the trek to the lookout, building rock walls on the creek and partaking in some of the farm life shenanigans.
“Feel the serenity”
Thanks Kate, Sam and your lovely boys 🙏
Fantastic location. The kids had a good time feeding the chickens and pigs. We had breakfast one day with the fresh eggs from the chickens.
The bedroom was very clean and comfortable. As the kitchen and dining area are outside on the covered deck, it was a bit nippy in the morning getting breakfast.
The lights outside on the deck and the bathroom window sill could do with a clean.
Overall we had a great time and would recommend it to anyone wanting to get away from tv and gaming and get back to nature.
Bright, clean and very scenic dairy. This was the most well thought out getaway destination for us. The animals were so close that we woke up to ‘Fred’ quietly grazing at the back door and ‘Daisy’ at the front door watching over four calves kicking up their heels in delight. The chicken and duck pen is just metres away and we had fun watering them and collecting eggs. The gorgeous dairy looks over the most beautiful valley and the stars shine so bright away from the city lights. I can’t forget to mention the fun we had visiting and feeding the eleven piglets who squeal with excitement every time they saw us. So true to the description, I can’t recommend highly enough, I haven’t even got to the great fire pit yet! A Must! Thanks very much Sam and your talented Wife.
Loved our little farmstay getaway! It just wasn't long enough! Even tho we got a wet weekend, there was lots to see and do. Feeding the animals, playing with chickens was my son's favourite and collecting the eggs each morning! Thank you and we will be back!
We loved our time at the farm. Nobody wanted to leave. It was beautiful to just take it all in and relax. We loved meeting all the animals (especially Stan, the very friendly cow) Accomodation was very comfortable with heating and great kitchen.
Darlington Grove is the most idyllic little getaway. The property has plenty of hands on things to experience and give the kids a taste of farm life. Warm, comfortable and spacious accommodation with an outdoor kitchen to bring outdoor in, plus the hottest shower, the facilities have everything covered. The free wandering farm animals were friendly and tame and immersed themselves with us the moment we arrived. The creek running through the property was a great source of fun for the kids.
The views are divine and if you’re adventurous there’s lots to do on and off the property to keep you busy for more than a few days! Loved every moment.
We stayed at Darlington Grove Farm Stay for two nights and had a fantastic time.
The converted dairy was lovely. The bedroom was clean and spacious. We stayed with our two children (aged 9 and 6) who slept on the camp beds and absolutely loved it.
We treated our stay like “glamping” so took some camping lights and tried not to use the electrical lights which really helped keep any insects away. We all loved exploring the property, feeding the pigs, sheep and horses. The Albert River is a short 50m walk from the dairy but also has a farm track down to the river if you did want to drive to it. We had great fun paddling in the crystal clear water and throwing in a line.
Sam and his family checked in and made sure we felt very welcome. We loved the resident French Bulldog (Buddah) and had a most relaxing weekend which is exactly what we all needed.
I always judge a place by asking would I go back? In this case we most definitely would.
This is the second time we have stayed here, we love it so much! We have made such special memories both times. Our young boys love feeding the animals and visiting them each day. Exploring the river and climbing mountains was also so much fun! Thank you Sam and Kate for a wonderful stay. We didn’t want to leave! We will visit again!!
Such a great farmstay for our family. The kids had a great time feeding the animals, collecting eggs and paddling in the creek. Would definitely recommend!
Perfect 2 day getaway from the noise and bustle of the city. Heaps to do (or not do) and plenty to explore. Clear skies with plenty of stars and marshmallows shared around the warm fire. Lost World lagoon down the road for extra fun and plenty of animals to entertain the kids. We had an absolute blast and took home a lot of great memories. Thank you!
A great farm experience for the kids. The accommodation was very comfortable and the views spectacular. Lots of space to get out and explore. Kate and Sam were very friendly.
So nice to step out of our busy tech filled lives into slow paced country paradise! Our daughter loved all the animals and we enjoyed waking up to the sounds of birds and the stars at night. Thanks again guys!
Everything that the online listing expressed and the owners described to me personally was accurate about Darlington Grove. As a landscape artist wanting somewhere that inspired me as well as somewhere suitable to set up my materials in the open and under cover when the needed, this destination is ideal. The bedroom accomodation was sumptuously comfortable and the living space was robustly furnished in keeping with its semi open air design and as a place not too precious or fussy for its use by families wanting to relax.
Had a super relaxing time here with our family, beautiful property, all of the animals were really cute - loved the no reception and wifi aspect to really switch off. Will definitely be back!!
We had a wonderful stay at Darlington Grove. We loved feeding the pigs and collecting eggs everyday. We also spent a lot of time in the river that runs through the property. Sam was very helpful and assisted us throughout our stay. Highly recommended.
The Hosts Sam and Kate are great and make you feel very welcome. This Property is great for kids and offers great family atmosphere for those looking to have a nice quiet escape from everyday life. The kids will have Lots of things to do and never go bored, from feeding the animals or spending time with them, bushwalks amongst the cow paddocks, playing in the River. Looking forward to staying again in the future. Thankyou Sam & Kate.
My partner and I recently stayed at Darlington Grove over a weekend and had a fantastic time. The area and facilities are great and very relaxing. We loved getting hands on with the wide array of farm animals too! Would definitely love to return and recommend to anyone.
