A Rural Retreat: 6 Farm Stays To Experience In The Riverina
Welcome to the Riverina: where you can sleep in a tiny house, drink coffee with sheep and watch the stars brighter than your phone screen.
Out here, accommodation is more than a bed to lay rest, it’s an experience. One shaped by seasons, stubble paddocks, warm hosts and the slow magic of country life.
From tiny stays to historic cottages and working farm experiences worth travelling for, here are some of the best farm stays across the Riverina.
Avalon farm stay, the rock
Avalon Farmstay feels like a storybook homestead. Built in the 1920s, beautifully renovated and wrapped in paddocks and peace. Mornings move slowly here, with sunlight stretching across open farmland and coffee best enjoyed on the veranda. Spend the day wandering through nature, reading under the shade of gums, or head into town to hike The Rock Nature Reserve and take in sweeping views across the plains. As the sun drops, the night sky steals the show — and for those who love stargazing, a visit to the local observatory is a must.
Perfect for families, walkers & anyone chasing peaceful simplicity.
Drovers Run B&B, Marrar
Warm, rustic, and wrapped in that unmistakable country charm, Drovers Run offers the kind of farm escape that feels like coming home, even if you’ve never been. Think evenings by the fire, rambling gardens, and hosts who know the region like old storytellers.
Ideal for family trips, girls’ weekends and those seeking the full farm, paddock to plate experience.
Regal Estate, West Wyalong
Neslted in the middle of an olive grove, Regal Estate radiates Riverina elegance. This stay blends country warmth with modern comfort, making it a favourite for travellers passing through or planning to stay and savour. Take in the morning light with a warm cup of coffee in the fresh air or sit in awe, toasting marshmellows under the starry night sky.
Best for couples, solo travellers & those craving big-sky beauty.
Three Ponds Estate, Temora
A farm stay where luxury meets laid-back country life. Three Ponds Estate offers boutique-style accommodation surrounded by gardens, water views and peaceful paddocks. Enjoy long lunches in the sun, birdwatching from the deck or wine under a moonlit sky.
