Farmstay cottage

Ewetopia Farm is a 130 acre property located on the mid-north coast hinterland, less than an hour west of Port Macquarie. The cottage is fully self-contained and set up for a relaxing family holiday. It accommodates up to 6 guests, sleeping in 3 bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms have queen beds, with 2 single beds in the remaining bedroom. The fully equipped kitchen contains everything you'll need for your stay. The large, open plan living area provides ample space for all the family. Sit back on the large, private undercover deck and marvel at the spectacular sunsets, wildlife and farm animals. The gazebo adjoining the saltwater pool is perfect for alfresco dining.
We've decided that we won't be milking our sheep during the summer of 2020/21. The impact of coronavirus on producers is part of this decision. There are still plenty of opportunities to interact with our animals.
Prices listed are for the whole cottage, for up to a maximum total of 6 people. We also have a portable cot and highchair available if required. Sorry no pets.

WHAT TO DO

Take things slowly and enjoy life on the farm
Relax with a cuppa out on the deck and gaze out at the view up the valley
Feed the chickens & collect some eggs
Strap on some boots and explore the bush
Travel into Port Macquarie and take a dip at the beach
Visit Timbertown Heritage Village, located in Wauchope
Head over to Byabarra to visit the local cafe
Meals are offered on the weekends at the Travellers Rest Hotel in Long Flat
Explore the Hastings & Ellenborough Rivers - both a few minutes drive down the road - good for swimming, fishing and picnics

Seasonal activities include - playing with the newborn lambs, cuddling baby chicks

Family holiday- something different
We had a beautiful week surrounded by gorgeous countryside and mountains. The house was very comfortable for our family of 5 with the bonus of a clean beautiful pool to swim in. The hosts were very friendly with our children showing them how to feed a calf and collect chicken eggs. They were great hosts

Ewetopia Farm stay
Getting out of the city and into a farm stay was very relaxing and made me feel at peace. Was there some things that weren’t perfect, yes but you have to remember where you are. Beautiful sunsets and scenery, animals and wildlife not to mention a tonne more stars than in the city. The wife and kids loved collecting the fresh eggs, feeding the chickens and talking each day with the cows and sheep. The pool was a god send on the hot and humid days. The place had everything that we required and Jill and Ian were happy to assist where needed. Was sad to have to leave.

Amazing stay
We travelled to Ellenborough for a weekend away with the family. The property is absolutely beautiful. Ian greeted us on arrival and even had fresh eggs waiting for us. The cottage was clean and the kids loved seeing the chicken coop. It was quiet and the views in the morning were breathtaking. The kids loved seeing the animals and we had a few visitors from kangaroo and it’s Joey. This will be our new spot when we visit from now on. Highly recommend for the family. Thank you to the hosts for having us and hope our next visit we can explore more.

Fantastic, enjoyable, peaceful & relaxing stay
Beautiful and quiet location, house spacious and clean. Good facilities, hosts friendly and knowledgeable about local area. My children loved feeding the chickens and the fresh eggs were great. Driveway is bumpy, but it is a farm and we managed perfectly fine in our 2WD family car so no issues for us as had read other reviews saying you needed a 4WD. Swimming pool was lovely with facilities around it (fire pit, BBQ, pizza oven- although we didn't use it). Would definately come back, thank you Ian & Jill.

Toys, puzzles, books, dvds, great kitchen facilities, blankets etc huge verandah for relaxing watching the sunset over the mountains. Long Flat pub close by is great. Superb facilities, sunsets, hosts and close to Ellenborough Falls etc. Can not recommend this property enough!! Would definitely come back!

Beautiful and relaxing location
It is a very beautiful farm house surrounded by mountains. There are lot of things to enjoy around. Our kids enjoyed collecting fresh eggs in the morning and swimming in the pool. We spent relaxing three days and enjoyed lot. Hoping to come back again. I would recommend to add few new pictures of the house and surrounding ( I feel true beauty of the place/ location and surroundings is not showing in the listing) you need to add more pictures. We love the place ♥️

We recently had a week stay at Ewetopia. Everything was perfect, beautiful accommodation , amazing hosts and the view..... Ewetopia was perfect for 3 teens. We enjoyed time in the gorgeous pool, campfires at night and time to just relax. We did a number of day trips, and really enjoyed all that the area had to offer. Thanks so much Ian and Jill, we would definitely book again.

This place had all the makings for a relaxing farm stay. We were greeted by our host when we arrived and were given the tour and all the info for our stay. The house had all the facilities we required for the 3 night stay. Friendly chickens and sheep roaming around. The large verandah was perfect for enjoying a beverage in the afternoon while watching the clouds roll over the hills.

Beautiful property to spend some quiet time on. Kids had a ball interacting with the animals. Nice walk through paddocks up into the hills. The accommodation is outstanding with everything you need for your family to enjoy. Can’t beat sitting around a fire pit on a clear night. Highly recommended

The serenity
A beautiful place to stay. The view from the verandah was such a lovely place to sit and watch the sun go down. The accommodation was very comfortable. The kids enjoyed running round and even swimming even though a bit cold! Lovely place to stay especially if you don’t mind a bit of driving looking at beautiful scenery.

Lovely peaceful farm stay
If you are looking to escape the busy fast paced city life for a comfortable, peaceful and relaxing get away surrounded by the natural beauty of the Australian country side then Ewetopia Farm is where you want to be. Set amongst majestic mountains and awe inspiring farmlands. This little gem was exactly what we were looking for. Upon arrival the property owners Ian and Jill sincerely welcomed our family, making us feel at home and leaving us in peace to enjoy their lovely cosy little cottage that had all the modern amenities a family would need to enjoy a comfortable stay away. We spent many hours relaxing on the large wrap around balcony. Marvelling in the beauty of the country side and the magnificent shining star filled nights. We also made great use of the salt water swimming pool which was an amazing bonus. Thanks for having us Ian & Jill. We had a wonderful Christmas at Ewetopia Farm.
