Gadhvi Farms

Welcome to Gadhvi Farms! We’re so glad you chose to stay with us.

We bought this farmhouse out of passion, to grow it into a complete retreat. If you are tired of traffic, crowded streets and noise, and want a place to breathe and calm your mind and body, Gadhvi Farms is a calm, natural place to do exactly that. You have a real farm stay to explore and plenty of room to spend quality time with the people you love.

In this welcome book you will find everything you need to know about the house, the Glamping Dome and the farm. If you need anything during your stay, message or call us on 0466 333 833. Enjoy your stay!

Warm regards,
Raj

Free parking for guests in the car park near the shade, for 5 to 7 cars, with room for a boat or trailer. The car park, driveway and main gate are shared by house guests and Dome guests.

Please keep cars in the car park and do not drive into the Dome paddock, as it gets muddy.

Gadhvi Farms is a working farm, so a few things are different from a city stay.

• Uneven ground: the ground is uneven in some areas. Please watch and mind your step to avoid trips and falls. There are a few outdoor steps to the entrance, and the house and Dome are reached by stairs.
• Children and pets: never leave children or pets unattended. The property is fenced, but small dogs can sneak out through the fence.
• Livestock: there are sheep on the property. Please do not feed or chase them.
• Dam: there is a dam in the rear paddock. Keep children away from the water.
• Shoes off inside: it is a farm and shoes get muddy. No dirty shoes inside the house or the Dome.
• Shared areas: the car park, driveway, main gate, rear bush walk and paddocks are shared with other guests. Please respect the privacy of other visitors.
• Fire: no smoking, and no open fire during total fire ban periods. Check the fire danger rating before you light the fire pit.
• Water: the property runs on tank/bore water.

Gadhvi Farms is dog-friendly, by approval. Please tell us before you book or arrive if you plan to bring a dog, and read the rules below.

• Dogs only (no cats), up to 2 dogs, any size. We need to know the breed, age and type of pet.
