20 Of The Best NSW Farm Stays For Your 2026 Country Escape

Set on rolling farmland just outside Oberon lies Essington Park’s Shearers’ Quarters—a beautifully restored historic farm stay offering couples a private retreat surrounded by crisp country air, veggie gardens and endless rural views 

Inside, there’s plenty to romanticise: clawfoot bathtubs overlooking the countryside, a chef’s kitchen centred around a statement Falcon stove, crackling fireplaces and queen bedrooms layered with wool blankets, hot water bottles and luxe linens for those famously chilly Oberon nights. Guests are welcomed with homemade sourdough, locally sourced breakfast provisions, freshly ground coffee and eggs collected from the property’s free-range hens.

Spend evenings gathered around the huge fire pit roasting complimentary marshmallows beneath a sky full of stars, wander through the orchard and vegetable gardens, or settle into the slower rhythm of country life with a book and a glass of wine in hand. 

Perched above the Numeralla River in the Snowy Monaro region, Riverview A-Frame is an off-grid stay pulled straight from a daydream. Hand-built over three years on KALLARROO Farm, this luxury cabin is all about rustic textures, sweeping bushland views and thoughtful little details.

Inside, there’s handcrafted timber finishes, a cosy fireplace, a deep bathtub positioned for stargazing and an upstairs king bed with a private balcony overlooking the valley below. The kitchen is equally special, featuring a benchtop made from a reclaimed 70-year-old bridge once standing on the property itself.

Outside is where the magic really kicks in. Soak in the hot tub beneath the stars, toast marshmallows by the fire pit, or stretch out across the suspended hanging net floating above the landscape. And while there’s Starlink WiFi if you need it, there’s intentionally no TV here—just nature, quiet, and uninterrupted river views doing all the heavy lifting.

Set on 50 private acres in Kangaroo Valley, Cally Mill Farm is a designer farmhouse retreat where rugged escarpments meet refined, contemporary living.

Sleeping eight guests across four king bedrooms (each with its own ensuite) this NSW farm stay is ideal for families, group getaways or milestone celebrations.

Outside, wide wraparound verandahs, a firepit and an outdoor bath beneath star-filled skies set the scene for slow mornings and golden-hour drinks.

Expect a chef’s kitchen with butler’s pantry, beautifully curated interiors and thoughtful architectural details throughout. Beyond the house, rolling paddocks, dams and abundant wildlife complete the experience—think kangaroos at dawn, wombats at dusk and parrots in the treetops.

Set on a farm near Forster and Tuncurry, NSW, Laurina Estate is a bed-and-breakfast-style stay with two rooms available to book in a private wing of the main manor house. While you are surrounded by rolling green paddocks and friendly alpacas at this farm stay, you're also only a seven-minute drive from the beach so you can get those toes sandy if you fancy.

Expect luxe bed linen, towels, robes, and toiletries, and access to the pool, gazebo, and gardens. Our fave part? The stunning outdoor bathhouse with a view across the surrounding farm—and the outdoor pool and gazebo for afternoon sips and dips.

Designed by award-winning architects, this luxe converted barn on a working NSW cattle farm was once a horse stable.

This gorg NSW farm stay was the brainchild of Sunrise star Edwina Bartholomew and her husband Neil Varcoe, and it’s got major design cred, having been featured in a slew of glossy magazines.

The 1890s homestead sits on 100 acres of regenerated farmland in the Greater Blue Mountains and, as such, you get kangaroos, wombats, goannas, and birds (including the endangered Regent Honeyeater) to gaze at during your stay.

If a night under the stars floats your boat, you can also book swags and stay on the swag deck on the top of the hill with your very own campfire, whisky, and marshmallows. Tomorrow, there’s apples to pick in the orchard if the season allows, and cows to feed if the mood takes.
