Australia Best Farmstay Family Holiday in NSW. Sydney's Best Experience.
Morvern Valley Farmstay is a great choice for your farm Holiday.
3 x Boutique themed three bedroom cottages, on 25 Farm acres. In Bundanoon just 90 minutes from Sydney.
The property can accommodate up to 24 people.
Half cleared and farmyard, and then there's babbling Coal creek, and natural bush. Enjoy lovely little bush rambles at the back half which then in turn meets the Morton National Park.
Its 1856 Samuel Tooth, foreman for the railway being built to connect Sydney and Canberra, saw Bundanoon.... took one look and it was it.
He hurriedly made his way back to Sydney, organised a loan securing the land, collected his wife and child.
Bravely throwing their ‘hat in the ring’ the young couple set out for Bundanoon.
Samuel and Emily work hard and have 13 children.
Samuel, is a drover, a passionate gardener, a community spirited and forward thinking man. He makes money owning a timber mill and his 16 strong bullock team bringing the timber up from the gullies to the station.
He donates land and timber for the memorial hall and the school.
Beautifully positioned the farm is an easy walk to the National Park.
Mrs Samuel Tooth, Emily would serve devonshire tea’s with pots of tea made on the wood burning stove in the Kitchen built near the rear of The Original Homestead, scones made within. With milk and cream from Bess the cow, not to mention fresh creamy butter in the wooden butter churn. Jam from the fruit grown on the trees to the rear of the house, boiled and bottled.
Emily would have families from the city come to stay from 1896 she advertised in the Sydney Morning Herald and was very busy.
The hard working Tooth family grew acre upon acres of Daffodils every winter for a flower stall at Central Station.
The peace and quiet still exist here, the slower pace and small village feel.
The farm is also featured in 3 of the several Discovery Rambles of Bundanoon three of which pass the property.
The self-guided walks take in the earliest settler’s homes, the parks, churches, cemetaries and landmarks of earliest Bundanoon.
Its lack of city minimalism, and clean crisp lines makes the accommodation real and true to itself, there are collectables from all Morvern’s eras, including some of the modern – this blending is one of the integral elements of true country style and how Morvern Valley really was.
Old cross stitch doilies lovingly rendered while listening to the radiogram.The old Radiagram still has in pride of place in The Original Homestead.
The old meat safe and country kitchen dresser with its cool box and pull out cutting board.
This was a time when things were not disposable, but carefully looked after and returned to place once used.
When furniture was solid and lasted a lifetime. When furniture was polished with wax and clothes kept 'for good'.
Be apart from the noise in your life and walk a day in the Tooth's lifestyle.
Step back in time, to a gentler pace.....
Enjoy a weekend or a week at Morvern Valley Farmstay Bundanoon

Black Mountain and Ben Lomond NSW Snow Chase 25 June 2013 by Colin Maitland
2013 Snow chase, arrived at Guyra around 8:30am with a few flakes falling so we decided to try Black Mountain then we moved onto Ben Lomond around 10:00 am. After I stuck the camera away it fell a little harder. Not used to the camcorder as I only have used it a couple of times, I have to slow down on the panning around and the jerking motion.

Mother of Ducks Lagoon Guyra - White-winged Chough
A visit to Mother of Ducks Lagoon, Guyra NSW in June 2014 ... a special place even though it is very low on water at the moment. A large flight of what is probably White-winged Choughs took flight then resettled to feed on the grass seed.
We only stopped for 15 minutes and in that time also saw Grey Teals, Grey Teal, Yellow Billed Spoonbill, Black-winged Stilts and a stately White-faced Heron.
