Summary: My whole family had a great time at the farm stay. Cathy was a wonderful host, showing us around the place and running all the activities. The kids can't get enough of the place.

Summary: The property was beautiful. Cathy was really friendly and helpful. Lots of animals. We took teenage girls and they had a great time. They were able to just wander around the large property safely whenever they wanted to. Cathy's pets were all so friendly. (Dogs and cats) Big bonfire on Saturday night was great. Little house / cabin fully equipped with all the essentials. Beautiful fireplace. Heating in every room. Relaxing! :-)

Summary: What a magical place! This is our second time here, this time with a 2.5 and 4 year old. From the moment we arrived the kids were entertained with the numerous toys and activities. The morning and afternoon feeding sessions with the animals was a hit. The kids loved their bedroom and we loved the peace and tranquility. All so close to Perth and everything you could possibly think of was supplied. Cathy and her trusty dog were fantastic with the kids going above and beyond their duty. Thank you!!! We’ll be back.

Summary: Cathy was absolutely lovely and provided for a warm and comfortable stay at the cottage. Both Lauren and Cathy were wonderful with our small kids (2 demanding toddlers!) and truly left them with an unforgettable experience, especially the daily animal feeds and horse riding. The cottage is in a peaceful location, just a short drive away from daily conveniences, wineries, restaurants etc. Highly recommended for a family retreat!

Summary: Thank you Cathy and her helpers for making our stay so fantastic. The kids loved their daily animal feeding run and pony rides.The cottage was clean, comfortable and warm even though it was rainy for some of our stay. There are toys for inside and out to keep the kids too busy to be bored. The country garden is fantastic for adults to relax in and kids to explore. Cathy went that extra step to make sure our stay was the best she could make it. I can't thank her enough for her care.

Summary: This is our second stay with Cathy after our first trip last year...the kids totally enjoyed themselves feeding the animals and wondering around the farm. Tux is still ever energetic and the first thing my son woke up was to walk out of the house to play with Tux who is very gentle with the kids (9, 6 and 3). Cathy was great in guiding the kids in handling the animals and we felt safe letting the kids play and wonder outside by themselves. My kids already missed the farm and wants to go back again next year. The house was well stocked with toys and kitchen equipment that it really feels like a home.

Summary: Thank you Cathy for a memorable weekend at Gumleaf Cottage. The kids had an absolute ball feeding the animals, collecting eggs, riding in the hay cart, playing with Tux and riding the ponies. The house is so well equipped for young children with lots of indoor and outdoor toys and is very cosy and homely. We all enjoyed our stay, grown-ups and kids alike, and I've no doubt we will be back next year.

Summary: Our stay at the farm is truly memorable. The cottage is very cosy and comfortable, with all the basic necessities provided. Cathy has even prepared complimentary fruits, pancake mix and snacks for us. Our kids really enjoyed riding on the wagon, feeding the animals,, collecting the freshly laid eggs and playing with the dog. Will definitely come back if we have the chance!
