This is the perfect destination for busy city families looking to escape the grind of urban living and reconnect with fresh air, natural beauty, and country hospitality. Our family of 5 included a toddler, and we loved staying in the Harper Room for its proximity to everything the farm has to offer, as well as the spectacular eastern views. Bec,... More

Living in a fast-paced city like Hong Kong, our three-night stay at the fantastic Lillydale was an excellent break from our busy schedule and experience a different way of life. We were completed rejuvenated by the scenic beauty surrounding the farm. We love the clean air and clear blue skies in the day, and love the blanket of stars (shooting... More

Being self-employed you get a very limited time for a family getaway, which you have to make the most of and pick a great place. On discovering Lillydale via the internet, I knew we had to give it a try. On setting off from the Gold Coast for the short trip, you could see and hear the excitement in the... More

An amazing place! Spotless accommodation. The house and gardens were stunning and homely at the same time, and the scenery of the surrounding mountains was breath-taking. It was both a relaxing and exciting place at the same time. My partner and I had never done a farm-stay before, but we will certainly do it again! We loved feeding all the... More

Apart from the long drive of 1hr ++ from Surfers Paradise (which we required with the help of a GPS), everything else about the farm was perfect. The house... More

We have stayed at Lillydale twice this year - mid-winter and again in December. We returned because we had such a wonderful experience the first time, and we were not disappointed the second time. We stayed in the 2-bedroom eco-cabin which is spacious, fully equipped, beautifully presented and is so peaceful with a spectacular view of Mt Barney and the... More

We went to Lillydale in November this year as we wanted a break for a few days. My wife, 3 little girls and I set off on the short 45min journey from Beaudesert to Mt. Barney for what was to be the most relaxing, fun packed short break we have ever had. Farmer Doug was called into action straight away... More

This would be our fourth visit to Lillydale in 2 yrs and still loving it. Beautiful location, well-loved animals and well-managed activities. One can choose to be very busy or just simply relaxed in such a lovely scenic surrounding. Our 2 boys (10 & 12 yr old) love the animal feeding, horse-riding and the saddle club. Not forgetting the trampoline... More
