  Our family of four kids under 13 had a fantastic time at this farm stay! Jillian was an amazing host, she was friendly, knowledgeable and very patient with the children. All of us (adults included!) learnt a lot about farm animal care and felt very privileged to get the hands-on experience. Despite the torrential rain, Jillian made sure the kids still had heaps to do. The house itself is perfect - plenty of beds for everyone, a fully equipped kitchen and a beautiful fireplace. Our kids already can't wait to come back for another stay!

  It is amazing how Jilly and Bronte can turn their normal, every day farm life into a magical experience for kids. We stayed 2 nights with very young children  (4yo, 2yo, 9 months). They tailored the experience perfectly for our girls. The house is so spacious, clean, and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. The back deck is an incredible space and the kids spent hours roaming the farm and playing out the back on the lawn where they had a cubby and trampoline. The girls made new best friends in Panda the lamb and Smokey the cat, who they spent every waking moment with. They loved joining the farm chores, feeding animals, collecting eggs and learning about the different animals and how to care for them. We can't wait to return next year! Thank you so much Jilly and Bronte for being so attentive while so much goes on running the farm, especially during lambing season.

  We had a fantastic two-night stay at Jilly’s.
The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, and the house was clean, comfortable, and welcoming.

My teenage boys especially enjoyed the hands-on experience of helping with farm chores and feeding the animals. Thank you, Jilly, for your wonderful hospitality—we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

  We had a wonderful stay at Jilly Park and would highly recommend it, especially for families with young children. The accommodation was clean, cozy warm, and comfortable, making it easy to relax and feel at home.

One of the highlights was the fantastic range of activities for kids and the opportunity to interact with the animals. Our little one absolutely loved meeting and feeding them, and it made for a really memorable experience.

The property was peaceful, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thank you for a lovely getaway, we would happily visit again!

  I highly recommend a stay at this picturesque property. As we entered the driveway we were met with sheep and horses either side . The large homestead is beautiful with a wonderful veranda surrounding the house where you can see the valley below.    Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by the host , Jillian and  was made to feel instantly at home… . We were  given a tour of the farm and were lucky enough to feed the chicken, lambs , alpacas etc which an absolute delight for the family. Our accommodation was extremely comfortable and all our needs were met. Looking forward to returning in the near future.

  I recently had the pleasure of staying at Jillypark Farmstay. What a delight.  The house is so comfortable.  Everything about it is so welcoming.  The beds are soft and warm, the shower pressure strong and hot and the verandah is a great place to relax with a coffee and enjoy the view. The best place though is on the giant couch in front of the fireplace. Instant relaxation.
Jillian is a terrific host and so full of knowledge that she is very happy to share. I particularly enjoyed checking for eggs daily. So many pretty chickens. Its always fun to feed the alpacas and friendly sheep.
It's also a really good base to explore the local area. There are lots of nice food options close by and even hiking trails.
I didn't have any children with me, but I would love to return with my children and grandchildren.  Thanks Jilly for a memorable visit.  I hope to see you again.

  Jillian is an amazing host who truly loves what she does. Our kids had a fantastic time, and our oldest especially took a liking to her. If you have young kids, I highly recommend giving this a go!

  After staying for 3 nights, I can vouch that all the reviews I’ve read online about Jillian and her farm are true—in fact, it was even better! On top of all the reviews, the farm is clean, the animals are healthy, and the spacious house has no ‘farm smell’.
Thank you for your wonderful hospitality Jillian.

  A wonderful place for a large family with young children to come together to enjoy the nature as well as experience farm activities / chores with the owner.

We are so glad to find this place to bring our dad from overseas to spend our quality time together. We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights occupying all four bedrooms in this massive house. The owner occupied a separate private space. The living and kitchen space are huge. Rooms are nice and comfortable. Breakfast is provided with the farmstay.

This place is very scenic, has a stunning view from the verandah looking across the  farm land. Lots of farm activities and animals for the young and old to enjoy. 8.30am / 5pm each day the owner will be present to ask the kids to help with her chores. The kids get to feed the chicken, sheep, alpacas, horse and collect eggs for breakfast.

The owner, Jillian is very knowledgeable. She is a horticulturist. She explained a lot about the animals in her farm. Shared funny story of the pigeon who has identity crisis and live with the chicken for the past 2 years. The kids get to learn how to properly hold the chicks, guinea pigs and have pony rides. We get to tour round the massive farm sitting on a trailer full of hays pulled by a tractor. Overall the kids can't wait to come back again.

Reasonable check in (3pm) and check out (11am) time. There is only 1 bath and 1 separate toilet. Other than that we had lots of wonderful memories at Jilly Park Farmstay. Highly recommend.

  We had an absolutely wonderful time at Jilly Park. We’ve even booked to come again! Great house with comfortable rooms, lovely host who was so knowledgeable and welcoming. Loved the farm chores and the relaxing atmosphere. It was great to be able to do a short drive into Warrigal for anything we needed too. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough!

 Verified Thank you Jillian for a lovely stay and for spending time with the kids, being so kind and patient with them and allowing them to experience life on a farm. We enjoyed the fresh eggs, which were delicious. The house is well designed with separate living and sleeping areas. The living and dining area is spacious and the kitchen is well provided for. The wood fire kept us warm all day when it was raining outside. We’d hope to visit again in the future, perhaps to experience the farm in a different season.

 Verified We had another wonderful stay at Jilly Park Farm Stay, and this was actually our second visit, which probably says a lot about how much we enjoy coming here.The peaceful country setting makes it such a lovely place to relax and unwind, and once again everything felt welcoming, comfortable and well cared for.A real highlight for us was seeing how much our 6-year-old son enjoyed interacting with the animals. He absolutely loved spending time around them, and it made the stay especially memorable for him. It is such a great environment for children to experience farm life up close in a relaxed and enjoyable way.The property has plenty of charm and tranquillity, and our hosts Jillian and Bronte were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. It is clear that a lot of care goes into making guests feel welcome.We left with more happy memories and would happily return again. Highly recommended for families or anyone looking for a peaceful country escape.

 Verified Wonderful stay for 2 families with 8 pax. Jillian was there to receive us even though we were late in arriving and she was ready to respond over message and text. Planned out the activities for our kids (which was the main reason of staying there) for 2 days and we all had a great time. Place was peaceful, great scenary and amazing morning sunrise. Was an experience we wanted for the kids as city dwellers to be exposed to nature and animals. Definitely a place to return

 Verified By far the best farm stay we’ve experienced. The kids loved every minute, feeding the sheep and chickens, meeting the birds and hamster, and playing with the dogs Zoe and Gem. They also had so much fun on the trampoline, and the place is really well equipped for kids to play.Jillian was wonderful with the children, taking them along to feed the animals and teaching them about farm life. It’s not just a comfortable home with beautiful views, it’s a genuine, interactive experience with nature.My wife, the kids and I really enjoyed our stay, and we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended. Thank you, Jillian!

Lovely house in a beautiful, rural location, yet only 10 minutes to Warragul.  Comfortable beds, and plenty for breakfast including fresh eggs.  Loved feeding all the friendly animals - you can join in as much as you like.  And above all, Jilly is an amazing host - we learned so much about life on the farm.  Thank you so much! 😊

 10Verified ☺The experience from the start, Jillian made contact to ensure everything was what we needed. 

On arrival she welcomed us and ensured we felt at home.

The home is a great farm homestead with a cosy atmosphere and excellent facilities.

Jillian and Bronte ensured we participated in the jobs around the farm and that we weren't rushed and allowed us to enjoy the experience.

Would highly recommend.
