Farm Stay With Animals in NSW
CREATE YOUR PERFECT STAY
While you are welcome to simply stay on site and enjoy the quiet of the land, many guests choose to enrich their visit by adding one or more of the experiences we offer.
We recommend a minimum two-night stay — the more time you allow, the more space there is to slow down, settle, and absorb the environment. Your stay can be gently customised to support rest, reflection, or deeper personal exploration.
ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS
We offer two very different and cosy accommodation options, both immersed in nature. Each can sleep up to four guests, with flexible sleeping arrangements.
THE STABLES
North-facing rooms within the stables building, where horses may settle in for the night just beside you. The living room opens onto a sun-bathed garden. The living room, bedroom and bathroom are accessed via the breezeway. Imagine waking and walking out to find horses having breakfast!
GANG GANG HIDEAWAY
Tucked away for a little more privacy, the Hideaway sits quietly among the trees. Its timber deck is crafted from fallen trees on the property. It is named from the endangered Gang-gang Cockatoo that nests nearby — a bird we are fortunate to often hear and see.
ADD-ON EXPERIENCES
Many guests choose to enrich their stay by including one or more experiences during their visit. These need to be arranged in advance; please discuss with us when booking.
• Somatic Healing with the Horses – a guided, ground-based session with the herd, supporting nervous system regulation, awareness and reconnection through body-led presence.
• Reiki with the Herd – a gentle energy healing session offered in the presence of the horses, allowing space for rest, regulation and quiet restoration.
• Walk-Only Trail Ride – a relaxed ride through the adjacent state forest – for experienced riders only out of respect to the horses
• Local Sparkling or Alcohol-Free Wines – add a bottle of local brut sparkling wine, or Altina non-alcoholic wines to your stay. Ask us for details and availability.
The Stables & Gang Gang Hideaway
Two very different and unique spaces for you to recalibrate in our amazing haven
THE STABLES
These well appointed rooms offer accommodation in The Stables for those seeking a pause from the daily grind. Three separate rooms – living room/kitchenette complete with wood burner, bedroom and bathroom, & access to herb garden with water feature. [Bathroom may be shared with therapy clients]
GANG GANG HIDEAWAY
Built with love in 2024, Gang Gang Hideaway is named after the endangered Gang Gang parrot who breeds in the adjacent forest. The deck is made from recycled fallen hard wood from the property and the doors are recycled. She is special, suited to nature enthusiasts who respect quality spaces. We’d love you to love her as we do!
Bridge the gap between who you are and who you yearn to be
Horses As Therapists
Under Soo’s expert guidance, engage with horses who can help you find your trapped and suppressed emotions, creating breakthrough moments of self-awareness and healing that traditional therapies often take years to achieve.
Sanctuary Of Calm
Our accommodation is more than just a place to sleep; it’s a sanctuary of calm. Awaken to the melodies of nature, bask in serene landscapes, and feel the weight of the world melt away. You might be surprised with how heavy your load has been.
Digital Disconnect
Experience the liberation that comes from a genuine digital detox. This getaway in NSW, Australia inspires you to disconnect from devices, encouraging introspection and heartfelt conversations. You’ll finally get to hear your own thoughts again.
Horse Wisdom
Experience firsthand the power of horse wisdom and how it can transform your understanding of core values: trust, respect, and compassion. Absorb life lessons that linger long after your stay.
Clarity/Renewal
This trip is a bridge to a clearer mind, a stronger body, and a more peaceful spirit. Get clarity. Put things into perspective. And be a step closer to the version of you that you can’t stop daydreaming about.
Feeling Alive
No phones. No emails. No deadlines. When you take a breather under the stars and around nature, you’ll feel so much more alive. And that’s what life is all about — do more things that make you feel alive.
TIME TO BREAK THE ROUTINE
Is your daily routine monotonous?
Do you find yourself stuck in mindless loops of repetition, with habits that don’t necessarily serve your higher good?
Taking a holiday, immersing in the tranquillity of nature, is the perfect way to reset, recharge and reboot.
It’s time to visit us!
YOU weren’t MEANT TO LIVE the same way, every day
A change of scenery can have a profound effect on your life
As creatures of habit, we very easily form behavioural patterns. For instance, consider the habit of snacking while watching TV. Over time, simply being in your living room and switching on the TV can evoke the urge to snack, irrespective of hunger.
Pressing the “pause” button through a getaway interrupts these associations. Such disruptions are necessary to create space for forming new habits or breaking old ones.
My 4 night stay at Eureka Pines was a profoundly beautiful and soul enriching experience so much so that this without a doubt is my favourite AirBnb experience to date! Soo is beyond amazing as a host and a beautiful person through and through and her love, care and devotion for her horses and dogs is so endearing that as a fellow animal and nature lover this place spoke to me in volumes and I feel very grateful for having met Soo, and felt so welcome by all her animals and shared this amazing space and vistas with them all. Finding a little shady spot under the gum trees to enjoy a book with Ziggy or Magnet ( Border Collies) by my side or a glass of red under a starry night by the fire… pure magic!
The location is magic and the overall experience was very special. Waking up to the sound of horses just outside our window was amazing.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found the stable accommodation very clean and comfortable.
We will definitely be back. Thanks Soo!
Thank you, Soo, for a wonderful stay!
It was wonderful being so close to the horses and hearing bird song every morning and night.
Really beautiful property with big skies and luscious trees.
The rooms are super comfortable and everything you need.
Thank you, Soo, for your hospitality.
A lovely weekend spent at The Stables. Soo has created a wonderful sanctuary with her beautiful horses and dog Magnet- a peaceful Southern Highlamds haven where you are immersed in nature. Loved all the colourful native birds visiting and fairy wrens singing right outside the windows. A special place.
What a unique and wonderful experience. Soo is a great host and the property very special. The calm nature of the horses, wildlife everywhere including kangaroos, deer, foxes, rabbits, beautiful birds and the warmest welcome from Magnet the collie. A place to unwind, breathe and absorb the peaceful energy. Thank you Soo for sharing your piece of paradise.
