Thank you Anne, we thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay. The accommodation is very cosy and comfortable. You have thought of everything to make it feel like home. The views over the Brindabella Ranges are beautiful. Sitting out in the sun, eating breakfast and taking in the view – what more could you want?
Thanks again, Sue & Jeff - Sydney.

What's great about Brindabella Farm Stay Retreat?
- Bubbling under a cool starry starry night in the hot tub
- Dipping into the pool with a drink in hand and a million $$ view
- Being met by Owner, Anne and shown through the property
- So much to do locally to fill the day or just relaxing doing nothing
-Comfy beds, fresh bath robes. Anne has thought of everything.
Shhh........ how’s the serenity?
My family and I stayed for five nights over the 2025 Christmas period. A much-needed family get-together and catch-up with friends. THANKS Anne & Cats! We loved everything!

Now being an empty nester, having my girls here with me for the weekend soothed this Mumma’s soul. Brindabella is our favourite spots! Can’t wait for the hot tub to go in and for Robbie to book again. Thanks again Anne for providing the most relaxing, stress free, five-star accommodation.

Dearest Anne - Every week people say to us “where are you two off to this weekend?” or “where do you find these places?” after they have seen my post from the weekend.
It’s one of the best, well my fav country stay we have had. I could sit with my legs dangling in the water taking in those views all day!
Right from booking, it was all so easy and that’s why we have booked again already! See you in two weeks, can’t wait to surprise Mum for her birthday.

Dear Annie - What a sensational stay we have had…. Brindabella is a home away from home and your company, friendship and love has been a blessing to our stay. I look forward to returning very soon and sharing more special moments on the balcony, in the plunge pool and around the house. So lovely to have my parents experience a little bit of my Batlow home and family.

Kitchen fully equipped. We were honoured to christen the fabulous plunge pool. Such a great hostess you had us in fits of laughter, it was a pleasure to share some meals with you! Thank you so much for letting us have my birthday BBQ here with local friends, certainly a night to remember. We wish you every success moving forward with all the future ideas you have. Brindabella will grow and grow and we will certainly be back one day..

Thank you Anne!
The house really WOWED us! So luxurious! Everything was perfect. The beds comfy, bedlinen smelt so clean and fresh! You really care ...and have made this a home away from home. We were so comfortable we couldn't even be bothered lighting the fire pit!!! Your farm stay is very special. So many cute baby calves walking to the dam and back with their mums. I'm sure we will be back and our group is already talking about a five night minimum stay!! LoL! Thank you so much again!

We were delighted to book a three-night stay at the new Brindabella Farm-Stay in the brand new beautifully appointed cabin style units overlooking the mountain and valley vistas and surrounding farmlands. Anne has reimagined the new farm-stay accommodation without disappointment and we were able to take in the magnificent scenery while unwinding and sipping our coffee and wine on the deck and letting time stand still – we were supremely comfortable the whole time and the kitchen dining and lounge areas were very well equipped - we cannot wait to get back for another amazing stay.

BEST accommodation in Batlow!
Earlier this year (February) we were treated to something very special.
We were among the first guests at the opening of the new Brindabella Farm Stay, Batlow.
The occasion was a large special birthday function over that weekend and we also stayed in the beautiful new accommodation.
The views over the landscape before us were amazing and our host was wonderful with friendly service with our every wish catered for.
We enjoyed Brindabella so much and will be returning to take in those views once more and to treat ourselves to the great experience that Brindabella offers.
If heading to Batlow, drop in and you will not be disappointed. The memory will be a lasting one and we totally recommend it!

Anne - hi! - just a short note to say how grateful I was for your care and attention during my time in the Snowy. From your understanding around my delayed arrival, ability to adjust and bend to the changing scenarios with care and understanding to the amazing accommodation itself! The building is beautiful, the view even more so and the facilities inside beyond world class. There was nothing I needed - you had it all, comfort wise, food wise and drink wise let alone the view. And then you went the extra mile to ensure I wasn't relying on microwave IGA meals by supplying all I needed for dinner on Sunday night - I could not have asked for more. I thoroughly enjoyed my few days in Batlow and surrounds and will never cease to be impressed with the resilience, community and feel of the towns in your area - all encapsulated by your hospitality to me. Thanks again.
