Our retreat-style Farm Stays are designed to provide a unique experience, and an escape into nature.
Indulge in two or three nights at our coastal hideaway, a working lavender farm and orchard tucked just beyond the city limits.
Farm Stay bookings are available for the summer months only.
Make this an unforgettable summer and experience all that our beautiful farm has to offer.
