We arrived in a middle of a storm and got an impressive Lightshow without realizing how big the farm is.
We were welcomed with open arms and are impressed by the lovely farm! Thank you for having us and also showing us around the next day. Sweet little animals and I think Josie has a name for all of them. Can only recommend and keep it up taking care! Cheers
After a long drive we made it to Jarrovale ans what a pleasant and perfect spot for our nights stop! A fully working farm with a whole host of animals to wander round and see, perfect on site facilities such as shower block, picnic and bbq area. Host Josie was amazing, so knowledgeable and even let my girls feed her newest visitor, a baby wallaby! 100% would salty there again!!!
What a gem! Loved the shady spot, and beautiful sunsets. We were able to use the big shed for our Christmas lunch- such a blessing after a wet morning. The animals are a bonus- sweet to share pats and chat with. It was so special to see a chick hatch on Christmas morning. Thank you!
great stay at jaravale farm! the host gave us a great location, close to toilets and kitchen. was perfect for our stop over. would definitely recommend & stay again ☺️ animals were very cute too
We had a powered site for our small caravan. We had toilets, shower and basic camp kitchen available to us. Everything was clean and well presented.
Josie was an incredible host. She answered the million questions and requests from our 2 young children when interacting with the animals on the farm.
