Boronia Farm

A great location for a farm stay experience.

Lovely spot of the state. Very quiet and peaceful. Close enough to town, but far enough away for complete quietness. The pot belly in the lounge room was amazing. The two young grandchildren loved feeding the animals, driving the tractor with Barry and collecting freshly laid eggs.Very disappointed in the facilities: tepid (at best) hot water that literally trickled out of the shower rose. We did however receive a $20 discount when we mentioned this to Barry. We had to wash all the crockery/cutlery/pots before we could use them as they were greasy and some of the forks still had crusty (what looked like) egg yolks stuck on them. Got the frypan out on our last morning and it still had the leftovers stuck on the pot from previous guests. Went to use the tray in the grill - yep still full of dried breadcrumbs. Whilst I understand the farm is organic, some stringer cleaning products are required as guests should not have to put up with mould in the shower and the general dirtiness of the cottage. Extra adults are charged at $20 per night. With this amount of money, the least I would have expected would be for them all to have had an electric blanket on their bed. Two of us did, but the third did not.I have no idea how this place made it into the top 10 recommended (no 8 on the list) farmstays by RAC - but this something I will take up with RAC as a separate exercise. There is absolutely no way anyone from RAC could have stayed at this place and ranked them 8th out of the top 10.Don't mean to sound negative as Barry is very friendly, but this farmstay leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to a couple of basic requirements, hot water and cleanliness.

Great place to stay. Relaxing and the kids love it!

The chalet can easily accomodate 4 adults and 3 to 4 kids and has dishes and cutlery etcYou get fresh eggs and fruit as a welcomeIts truly a farmstay .. to windown and do nothing or then do some fruitpicking. The dam closeby is a bonus for some canoeing.. plenty of fruit farms around donnybrook

Boronia Farm is so beautiful and quiet. Highly recommended for a peaceful break, the view of the star field is astonishing.
