Sitting back and watching the world go by takes on a new meaning at a homestay with a difference in the beautiful Manning Valley.

You see, the world really is going by when you stay at Longview Farm – it’s a rotating house! Built by owner Luke Everingham in 2006, the amazing structure completes a full 360-degree rotation in about 45minutes… enough time to finish a glass of chardonnay and refill.

It’s all controlled by a touchscreen in the dining room - and it’s not rocket science but, of course, the engineering behind it is.

Situated on a 40-acre property that’s also a Santa Gertrudis stud, the beautiful home offers glorious views over the Nowendoc River and surrounding countryside.

Kangaroos and wallabies are regular visitors, and the birdlife is wide and varied, from kookaburras and eagles to flocks of king parrots. Word also has it that koalas have been spotted on a neighbouring property just recently.

If you tire of simply watching the world go by, you can swim, fish or kayak the river. BYO water craft

Inside, the home is beautifully presented with four large-sized bedrooms, three lounging areas, study and top-floor observatory.

The Kitchen is fully-equipped – you just need to bring your own food and refreshments (however, this can be arranged for you at extra cost).

There’s even an upright piano for a spot of singing during cozy nights in front of the fire.

Winter mornings are crisp and watching the mountains slowly appear from under their cloudy coverings for the perfect breakfast accompaniment.

And there’s no fear of missing a thing every bedroom has access to the verandah and those views, as do the lounge and dining areas. That’s the advantage of an octagonal design.

Best of all are the views from the observatory and the extended outside deck – no need to worry, it doesn't rotate so you’ll always know where you are!

Your days can be spent simply drinking in the fresh country air and surroundings, exploring the property, saying g’day to the stock, watching the wildlife, or venturing just a little further afield to nearby Dingo Forest, Wingham, Taree or even the coast. Diamond and Blackhead beaches are only an hour’s drive away.

All this and as much peace and quiet as you can take. Now that really is a holiday!

We can accomodate up to 14 guests and are located 4hr drive north from Sydney.

Memorable
We were 4 families. 8 adults and 5 kids (all 5 years old). We had a GREAT stay. The novelty of rotating the house when it gets hot in one particular room was so cool. The surrounding is so beautiful with mountains and river and trees. There are no air conditioners and the rooms at night were fine. They have stand fans in each room. The afternoons, evenings can get a bit warm inside the house in peak summer, so we used to just put some Mats outside and enjoy the scenic views. The rooms are nice and big. The river was fun and we went for a swim. So beautiful. Please buy river shoes for adults and kids, some of us didn’t and regretted it. We went to the far left side which we thought was good for the kids to have a swim. The kitchen too is well equipped. The sky was beautiful at night and we had a couple of days clear skies and saw many shooting stars and constellations which added to the trip being so memorable. The hosts are really really lovely. Always available for any questions and requests we made. Their gorgeous doggo Joey was such a highlight for the kids. They had such a good time playing with him. He loves guests. All guests. So so adorable. Thanks for a memorable start to 2023 Leanne. It was a memorable trip for all of us.

Great place to relax
Although the house was quite a drive from Sydney, it was well worth it. The house is was big and spacious. The fire pit outside was used every night! The bbq was handy and we used it every day. We loved that it was so close to the river and we had plenty of space to roam around. The beach was also only an hour away. Enough beds for all 12 of us and it was great that we were provided with towels. The only downside we had was that there were quite a few bugs, especially at night in the main bathroom. It would have been nice to have a pool since there was no air-conditioning and the river was too murky to swim in due to the rain. The electric fence wasnt very child friendly and we had to watch our toddler. Other than that, the house was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful house with stunning views!
Had an amazing stay with friends. The Rotating House offers amazing views and allow us to enjoy the surrounding scenery of grazing cattle and mountains. The house is very cozy and really comfortable. All in our large group had an awesome time. We had an excellent holiday and appreciate all the effort the owners have put into making guests feel at home. Thank you Luke and Leanne :-)

Truly unique and spectacular property!
We spent 5 fabulous days with a family group of 10 in this truly unique and amazing home! The house was very spacious and comfortable with quality fixtures and fittings and was fully stocked with everything we needed. The caretakers were welcoming and on hand for anything if required but respected our privacy. The views, wildlife and serenity made for the most relaxing time. The drought meant the river was low but we were still able to enjoy a swim and kayaking which the children (and adults) loved. We cannot recommend this property highly enough and wouldn't hesitate to return!

Fantastic farm stay with a difference
3 generations of our family stayed together and this accommodation was perfect for all. The kids loved the freedom of the yard, the adults loved the comforts both inside and out, especially the fire and verandah. The place is extremely roomy and comfortable. The furnishings are luxurious and the kitchen extensive. This is a great accommodation and highly recommended.

Great Weekend Away
We had 14 people for a weekend away and had a great time and the owners/caretakers are really friendly. We had a campfire at night and swam in the river during the day. Would highly recommend to everyone.
