Smith's Farmstay Accommodation

14/01/2022

After 20+ year of running the farmstay it is time for Bevan and Wendy to finish this chapter and start a new one. It has been great to share our part of the world with so many and to meet so many different people.

The farmstay will soon be available for long term tenants. Ideally it would suit an couple or family looking for a tree change with room for family to visit or maybe it would be a great home for someone with health issue wanting to isolate form COVID but wanting space to walk on the farm.

We'll post detail and start a process of look at applicants in about a week but if you know someone who this would suit please share this post with them.

Update:

How to express your interest.
