Country Cham at its best !
A charming place to spend a few days away. The property itself is picturesque and with its adorable miniature horses , alpacas and fowl to visit it made it extra nice to walk around. You could adventure over the creek and up around the sloping hills to take in the view and see the cattle grazing. We stayed in the accommodation made up by the old stables which is perfect for couples, it was presented beautifully and was very cosy ,not to mention squeaky clean and stocked with everything you could need for kids , adults, fur babies , you also had your own garden area to relax in . The host’s are warm and friendly and are happy to help with any requests you may have, which just goes to show that they really take everything into consideration to make sure you have a wonderful relaxing stay . all I have left to say is Well done , you nailed it!

Great tranquil spot
This is our second visit and it won’t be our last. The converted barn is snug and cosy and has everything you could possibly need for a few days away from your normal mad life. We did little but cook great food on the barby and enjoy a good red or two. Took a walk up towards the mountain and that did now thing but confirm what a beautiful place it is. oh and our dog loved it too.

Great choice
This is a great place to stay if you’re looking for a peaceful time in the country. This had everything we wanted — comfortable bed, good shower, a fully equipped outdoor, mosquito proof, kitchen and dining room. Teena was lovely and very welcoming. My husband and I very highly recommend this place.

Gorgeous all round.
Our time here went by too fast! The barn is well appointed, nothing amiss, even down to dog bowls, leads and toys for pup! The outdoor kitchen was where we spent most of our time when indoors, otherwise going for walks to the nearby creek and exploring the wide open spaces of the property filled us with joy. Feeding the animals was delightful! My puppy was welcome on the property and fully enjoyed the space,. Check in and check out were easy and no hassle! Easy communication with Teena and once there, everyone was lovely and welcoming! Yalbaroo truly is remarkable. Hoping to be able to come visit this charming property again one day soon.

This was our second stay at Yalbaroo and we had been anticipating it for months. From the time we turned off the car, we felt right at home. The peace we feel there is unlike anything we’ve found anywhere else. Already planning next trip.

Loved our little romantic get away, magical that we could bring our little foxy who loved the whole experience. Feeding the animals was an added bonus.

Excellent. The converted barn was comfortable and well stocked with everything you could think of. The gazebo area with the fire pit was great for goofing and toasting marshmallows. You even get to feed the chooks. We will be back.

Peaceful & Unique Getaway
Yalbaroo is a converted horse stable accommodation for two with comfortable quality furnishings and a full compliment of all the facilities you could desire. It's a self-sufficient retreat perched in a beautiful valley surrounded by wildlife and foothills with your own personal firepit and BBQ. Hosts are available but leave you in peace as if you own the place!

Lovely property with everything you could as for supplied.
Property was lovely and the hosts were great. Great farm stay experience. Dogs had a great time swimming in the river. Restful and refreshed though through no fault of their own are at the mercy of noisy neighbours. Which depending on how full their camp site is can cause problems.
