We had an amazing time, thank you for your hospitality we will be back
My family of 15 stayed over Easter 2019, we all had an amazing time, it had everything we needed and more, John was very accommodating and the view from the Sundowner is one not to miss, we will be back
Thankyou so much to John and Sally for a great stay! The activities were so much fun. Loved that we were able to find gold and take it home. Perfect spot for families. Highly recommended!
We stayed at Fawlty Farm for my husband's 50th birthday. There were around 6 couples and a few singles. We had such an incredible time - the multiple sleeping areas are really handy but the stand outs are the spa and all the cooking facilities around the open fire pit.
John was absolutely lovely and the excursions out on the water and the trip in the sundowner were spectacular. Highly recommend for big groups, and would love to come next time with the kids. A very special place.
Fawlty Farm sure did impress. The range of accomodation available catered to all tastes. The level of cleanliness wasn't A1 but appropriate for the location and experience offered.
The amenities catered well to a large group and the equipment available for use was extensive and impressive. The fire pit, the hot tub, the bbq, the paella pan, the large kitchen and everything else were all easy to use and well maintained.
John was a kind, generous host who propelled our weekend into one to remember with his army truck rides, house boat voyages and visit to the summit with fire and nibbles. My whole group (17 women!) thoroughly enjoyed staying at Fawlty Farm and will recommend John, his sheep, alpacca and many friendly birds who drop by for some seed to everyone! Thanks for a fabulous weekend John!

Best Weekend Ever!!!!!!!!
Myself and a large group of friends stayed here last weekend as my leaving Australia party. It was by far the most amazing weekend I and many of my friends had in Australia. John and his beautiful wife Sally were so welcoming and accommodating. The house had absolutely everything that you need and more. The surroundings on the lake were breathtaking, especially the view when you wake up in the lake house in the morning. From the hot tub to the games room, fire pit and all the cooking equipment made it such a special weekend. The highlight was when John took us out on the boat on Saturday on the lake where we enjoyed a few drinks and jumped off the boat for a swim. That evening he and Sally took us to the viewpoint where we enjoyed wine and cheese and the most fabulous views. Fawlty Farm is somewhere we will all be talking about for a very long time and recommending it to anyone looking for an amazing get away. Thank you John and Sally from Lauren and the gang.
We visited the place for 2 nights. John is really a great host. All the 3 attractions part of the trip were amazing. A lot of open space and room to sleep. Rooms needs cleaning as there were dust and spiders in A shape cabins. Rest everything was amazing as mentioned in property description
The hosted experience was really great, I was a bit surprised at the house itself, for the cost I wouldn't have expected the degree of decay on the property, broken windows specifically. We honestly had the best and most enchanting time and it exceeded our expectations, but we couldn't even use the living room as the couches were so gross and all the windows were broken
What a great weekend we had at Fawlty Farm. John was a great host taking us out on the boat and up to the lookout for spectacular sunset views and drinks.
Lots to entertain with table tennis, pool and fusal along with canoes and SUP. We had so much fun. Thank you so much John.
Faulty farms is set on a stunning property with just about everything on offer.
You can kayak the private lake, snuggle around the fire pit walk around and enjoy the wildlife ect. There is certainly something for everyone. We enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and made use of the wood fire pizza oven, paella pan and spit.
The tours were a lovely touch, especially the trip upto the ridge line, the drive up was nothing but laughs and then you are met with the most amazing views and get to enjoy some cheese and bubbly around the fire. John and Sally are gems.
Everyone was impressed and enjoyed their stay.
Our one disappointment was that the hot tub didn’t get hot enough to use on the Saturday night. But knowing John he will have that addressed in no time!
Recommend faulty farms for the family/friend getaway. Summer would be incredible.
The bonus events were thoroughly enjoyed by all.
A heater in one cabin didn't work properly and shorted out the cabin but otherwise all was good. Kitchen is well appointed and all ages enjoyed the fire pit.
This place is simply incredible.
John was incredible from start to finish, communication, flexibility, friendliness. The property itself is beautiful, well thought out and so much fun. The whole experience was enhanced by the activities. I could not have asked for a better 30th.
Amazing time, loved every moment.
Was very impressed with the tours even though we had not intended to do them. Host (John & Sal) we’re so friendly. So many great fun activities. Thankyou for a amazing trip. Want to go back again.
15 of us stayed for 3 nights. The property has just the right amount of things to get adventurous with while also being the perfect place to get solid downtime together. Every spot is large enough for the entire group to hang out but also appropriate to break off and do different things.
We loved it. And John was very communicative and delightful
Great farm stay surpassed our expectations! Sleeping areas and indoor/outdoor spaces were perfect for our family of 8 adults and 8 children. Plenty of activities to do, the hot tub and the private lake a bonus, the animal feeding and the extra excursions provided were a very special experience for all.
Loved our stay here. John was a brilliant host. The property has everything, the activities organised by the John were great, and it’s a beautiful place. Will definitely be back!
Amazing stay at Fawlty farm with family. 6 adults and 9 children and we had the best time. The set up is fantastic and the hosts wonderful. I recommend highly for a large group.
Kids were aged 10 to 17 and we spend plenty times on the water both the farms lake and lake eildon.
The experiences Fawlty farm offers made the holiday what it was and I am sure that you will have a great trip if you partake.
Fawlty farm is a rustic adventure that exceeds all expectations.
Do yourself a favour and book.
There is something for everyone here. We were impressed with how much access we had to all of the facilities, use of the fire pit, bbqs, lake, kitchen... anything.
This is a perfect spot for a gathering of friends!

Absolutely out of this world incredible!
John has created possibly the most special place I’ve ever had the privaledge of staying at. We visited with a large group for my 30th, and whether it’s the beautiful private lake with waterfront bedrooms, the A- frame chalet tiny houses, the bonkers view from the hut at the top of the hill on the property, the personal boat trip on lake Eildon- John’s pad really has everything. John was the perfect host, always nearby if we needed or with the next incredible experience lined up. John’s magical place is only overshadowed by his heartfelt hospitality and warmth. Some of our group even dubbed it ‘their favourite weekend of their lives’! Don’t be a stranger John, we’ll definitely be coming back soon ;) thanks again for making my 30th unforgettable!

Absolutely beautiful
This was our first time to fawlty farm and it was amazing. We absolutely loved the property, with heaps of things to do we were always entertained. Our favourite was the diving board into the lake! John goes out of his way to assist when needed and has thought of everything to make the stay great. We can't thank you enough john for having us and we will defiantly be coming back for another great holiday.

AMAZING!
WOW. Fawlty farm (And the whole entire drive there) is absolutely amazing.
You will be stunned by all the views. Perfect for a large group get away.
The hosts John and Sally only made it 10 times better. They both ensured we were happy the entire stay by trying to satisfy our every need. Highly recomend to try all 3 activities. Kids enjoyed every second of it.
We will definitely be back John! Thank you so much for all your effort and a much memorable stay.

Absolutely stunning property!!
Fawlty Farm is a little hidden gem. The minute we walked in we were blown away with the breathtaking views! John & Sally welcome you with open arms and were an absolute pleasure the whole weekend. The facilities were great, the kitchen fully equipped with everything you could think of. The outdoor entertaining area is fantastic, the fire pit, the pizza oven & the spit were all a highlight. The best thing and an absolute must-do if you visit Fawlty Farm is the boat & hut tour. Both of which were absolutely incredible. We regretfully didn't do the mining tour. There isn't one thing John and Sally haven't thought of when it comes to Fawlty Farm. We already can't wait for our next visit. Thanks so much for having us.
Jess, Alex and the Crew :)
