Accommodation - Southern Highlands - Enjoy a Country Farm Holiday at Morvern
Accommodation Southern Highlands with a difference.
Morvern Valley offers accommodation in the Southern
Highlands, it is a real country farm property with just
three self contained
cottages upon it. Each private cottage is exclusive to your party during
your stay – your hosts do not live on the property at all ! |
Morvern Valley is 25 acres in size - half cleared farm land with paddocks,
and half natural bush land; it is traversed by a small creek called
Coal Creek.
The operation of the farm involves fencing repairs, looking after
the land, and caring for the animals who stay here.
Ponies, alpacas, chickens, ducks and geese are friendly and love a
pat and to be hand fed.
The seasonal or regular activities are shearing, marking and
inoculation of our small flock of sheep and our pair of alpacas: the farrier regularly
comes to shoe and trim the ponies hooves. Incubation and brooding of
chicks and ducklings. Show quality fertile eggs are sold to pure breed
chicken fanciers. We exhibit our rare poultry at the regional shows
and have won many ribbons and awards.
Meet The Animals
Morvern Valley has 25 acres, they are home to many ponies
and even ‘Fudge’ a miniature horse who stands just
31 inches high. ‘Fudge’ loves a brush, a pat and
a carrot !
There are Barnevelder chickens, Welsh Harlequin ducks, a
friendly pair of Toulouse Geese, Russian snow geese and a flock of purebred black
face sheep called ‘Baa Baa’, ‘Black Sheep’ and ‘Wool’
- they now have a ram to help look after them and we are
expecting our first lambs in August.
Collect farm fresh eggs from our friendly hens (they usually
cooperate!!)
Feed colourful Crimson Rosellas and King Parrots at the verandah.
Go for a stroll around the 25 acres, Many native animals and
birds have been seen by guests at the property - down near
the creek you may see Lyre Birds, Kookaburras, Cockatoos -
and if you are truly lucky a black faced wallaby or echidna.
At
dusk take a torch outside and look at resident possums, owls,
and
look for Harry the Wombat. |
