"A Wonderful Getaway" βββββ
"My stay at Berry Springs Farmstay was nothing short of amazing! The farm is beautifully located in the NT, and I loved the rural lifestyle. I was able to assist with various farm duties, from animal care to gardening, and each day was a new learning experience. The owners are wonderful and make you feel at home. If youβre looking to escape the hustle and bustle and embrace farm life for a while, this is the perfect place!"
The mornings at Berry Springs Farmstay are absolutely beautiful. I would usually do some landscaping and gardening early in the morning before breakfast β why wait until it gets too hot for such activities? Most volunteers start at 7, but 6 a.m. worked better for me since the rooster would wake me up anyway. I love gardening, and it was incredibly rewarding for me to contribute to the farm in that way.
I decided to wake up every morning at 5:30 to watch the sunrise while chasing away the two ducks that love to visit the pool at night. Afterward, Iβd turn on the water hose and clean around the verandah, as the visiting guinea fowls and the rooster tend to make a mess. Iβd also water the lawn, hose the poo off the pool edges, and enjoy my coffee. Then, Iβd feed the donkeys and goats, cutting plenty of fresh grass for them, which they absolutely loved. It was a peaceful and rewarding start to each day!
After this, I would cut lots of banana leaves for the miniature pigs, which they really enjoyed. Every second week, I would mow the lawn and whipper snip around the edges of the gardens and pool, keeping everything neat and tidy. It was hard work, but seeing the animals happy made it all worthwhile.
"Relaxing and Rewarding!" βββββ
"I had the most wonderful stay at Berry Springs Farmstay. The location is serene and beautiful, and I truly enjoyed the hands-on experience of farm life. From helping with the animals to working in the gardens, there was always something to do, and the work was very rewarding. The accommodation was comfortable, and the farmβs surroundings are perfect for unwinding. If youβre looking for a peaceful, authentic farm experience, this is the place to be!"
I'm not an early person at all, but at Berry Springs Farmstay, I completely changed my lifestyle and became an early morning person. Waking up with the birds is just amazing. I would ask the owners where they needed help, and sometimes it involved fencing or fixing fences. I learned a lot, especially under the guidance of an Australian caretaker who had been a farmer before. He and his wife traveled all around Australia, staying at different places in exchange for free accommodation, and his experience really helped me grow in my skills.
"Perfect for Animal Lovers!" βββββ
"If you love animals, this is the place for you! I had the pleasure of volunteering at Berry Springs Farmstay for a month, and it was such a rewarding experience. The animals are well cared for, and itβs so fulfilling to be part of their daily routines. The property is large, peaceful, and surrounded by nature, with plenty of space to relax after a busy day. Itβs also only a short drive to Berry Springs Nature Park, which is amazing for a swim and some sightseeing. Highly recommend!"
"A Truly Unique Experience" βββββ
"What an incredible experience! I stayed at Berry Springs Farmstay as a caretaker for a few weeks, and it was one of the most memorable parts of my travels. The farm is beautiful, and I enjoyed every moment working with the animalsβfeeding the donkeys, goats, and chickens was so much fun. The farm owners are incredibly welcoming, and the whole team is so friendly. I felt like part of the family, and the area is perfect for outdoor adventures. Can't wait to return!"
"A Peaceful Paradise!" βββββ
"Berry Springs Farmstay is an absolute gem! The location is stunning, and the farm itself is peaceful and well-maintained. I loved waking up to the sounds of birds and animals every morning, and the 12m pool was the perfect place to cool off after a day of helping out on the farm. The animals are adorable, and itβs a pleasure to care for them. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to escape to nature while being part of a wonderful farm family!"
