The Farm and Local Activities

Minimbah Farm is 150 acres of beautiful scenic farmland, featuring it’s own flowing creek, amazing views with almost endless grass paddocks backing onto lush rainforest. Being a fully operational beef cattle property also with goats, alpacas, horses, chickens, peacocks and abundant wildlife, Minimbah Farm is one of the most favoured of Farm Stays on the South Coast of NSW.

Aside from being a lovely setting for peaceful getaways and happy get-togethers, Minimbah has also provided a great environment for a diverse selection of events over the last few years. These include weddings, birthday parties, meditation retreats, drumming groups, company/corporate training sessions, educational workshops, outdoor photo shoots for catalogues and cookbooks, and even advertisements and feature films for TV!

On arrival for your Minimbah farmstay in Kangaroo Valley you will probably be greeted by our gorgeous little jack russell dogs Chloe and Laska. On August 8th, 2010, they became proud parents of three beautiful puppies – Pixie, Coco and Monte.

You are welcome to help yourselves to some of our ‘Kangaroo Valley Show’ award winning eggs from the chook house, up the hill behind the Cottage, as well as any fruit from the many lemon, orange, mandarin and peach trees that you see on the farm.

In Spring and Summer we witness the birth of many baby chicks. In early 2011 we have already had 20 chicks hatch over the first three months. Here are the most recent batch of 10 !

You can feed the goats and alpacas with the food we leave for you in a container on the verandah. Also, there is a hay boxes on the road, to feed: The goats – Yukka and Allo; The alpacas – Francio and Braddio; and The mini belted galloway cattle – Crispy and Chunky. We also have a cheeky pony – Bungey and a handsome horse – Paddy.

In between the Cottage and Loft, in the common area, is a great little kids playfort equipped with slide, steering wheel, climbing rope, cubby house and lots of games and sporting equipment to keep even the most energetic of children busy and ready for a good sleep in the evening !!

You are welcome to go for walks over the property, see the Minimbah farm map below. Keep a look out for the great variety of wildlife on the farm too – Echidnas, wombats, kangaroos, wallabies, lizards, parrots, kookaburras, magpies, cockatoos. And … a $200 future discount voucher goes to anyone who can get a photo or video of ‘Felix’ the platypus!! He lives in the creek just behind the BBQ, however, he hasn’t been seen for a while.

Nugents creek, which runs through Minimbah Farm, is the old town water supply and a short distance along the road that runs adjacent to the creek is the original weir. There is a great bbq down by the creek with an oven, a picnic table and chairs and enough open space for a game of cricket or a bit of footy on the lush creekside pastures. Minimbah Farm also has a humble little ‘hack around’ golf course with clubs and balls provided.
