Did you know that you can feed the animals in our home paddock any time you like?
Throughout the day, our animals enjoy their day grazing and snoozing in the paddocks. They're always ready to say hello along the fence-line! Simply purchase a bag of animal food from our store and you can have your very own animal feeding session.
We've taken old school to a new level with our custom built waterslide! It's an upgrade to the original black plastic slide down the hill that has been hugely popular at our farm and in Aussie families for so many years. Head up the hill, jump on the plastic and slide on down - straight into the dam!
Our slide is a facilitated activity and runs on weekends and school holidays. Times may vary depending on the season.
You must be able to swim to ride on our waterslide. We do not recommend this activity for children 4yrs and younger.
Come and spend time with our favourite animal and the mascots of our farm - our chickens! We'll be opening up our chicken pens and bringing out our freshly hatched little chicks for cuddles 3 times daily. Check out our Activities page for times.
Our swimming dam is the hub of activity around our farmstay, particularly in the warmer months.You can float around on the inner tubes or jump off the pontoons or paddle around on the kayaks.
Kayaks require a gold coin deposit to unlock (just like an ALDI trolley), and PFD (Personal Flotation Devices) are available at the Boat Shed near the Waterslide on the other side of the dam. Your gold coin will be returned once the kayak is returned.
You can also explore the creek that meanders through our grounds, with swimming holes and shallow ponds that give kids hours of natural fun.
Camping's not camping without a campfire! We have communal firepits dotted around our farm so that everyone can enjoy the beauty of sitting by the fire and celebrating the good life. Who doesn't love roasting marshmallows!
Take your campfire experience further through the Adventure Passport activities by building it from scratch using a flint and steel - and then cooking your damper over the fire with one of our damper kits. Add on your campfire story activities for an even better campfire experience.
Along the creek we have mud kitchens stationed in the perfect location to make the perfect mud pie! Our mud kitchens are ideal for younger children, giving hours of fun for everyone!
Explore the walking trails around the farm - head up to our lookout and watch the sunset, get off the beaten track and explore through the forest.
Use your Adventure passport to explore even more of the farm as you track through the property to find the Golden Pig and the Night Bushranger, or enjoy a slower pace as you enjoy a walk to match our timber slab wall with the trees on our property.
The Northern Rivers Rail Trail is a shared recreation and nature trail where users can walk, ride and explore at their own pace. Stretching 24km from Murwillumbah to Crabbes Creek, the Rail Trail runs through Hosanna's Farmstay's property and is the perfect halfway point to jump on and explore in either direction. Providing easy access to the railway tunnel 5km down Tunnel Road, this new and exciting experience is on Hosanna's doorstep and is free for guest to use. Find out more information on their website.
