Excellent getaway
Cate is a great host and we had a lovely stay in her beautiful guest house
It's a perfect couples retreat and is well equipped with everything you will need.
Looking forward to our next holiday there.
Great position on top of a hill with views to the hills and paddocks. The private yard was great for the dog. Convenient access to Seal Rocks beaches about 15 mins away.

Thanks Paul for your stay, review and wonderful state you left the cottage. Hope to see you again.

great property in relaxing location close to water
This property is lovely! Peaceful, beautiful and just a short drive to the beach, the lakes and everything you need. It was perfect for us two and our labradoodle. The host was lovely, communication great and we would certainly book again! highly recommend for a peaceful and relaxing getaway where you get the mix of farm stay and ocean.
I visited the property for 3 nights with my 2 medium sized dogs. It was lovely to stay somewhere where my dogs could have as much of a holiday as me.
Falcitites were great. Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Thanks Liz for your stay and leaving cottage so well. Hardly knew there was 2 dogs with you, so well behaved.
A beautiful peaceful spot, thoughtfully designed space and warm and kindly hosts. A terrific location to just unwind for a few days. Also excellent fencing for your pup. Recommended.
This place had everything to make your stay homely and comfortable. The property owners are friendly. Super clean home.

Thanks Donna for your review and glad you enjoyed your stay. We also appreciate the wonderful way you left the cottage. Hope to see you again in the future.
Lovely little cottage with all the amenities you could wish for and lovely district rural views. Cottage is surrounded by two fully fenced small yards perfect for your little dog. The fire pit and fruit laden citrus trees are an added bonus. The owner's house is nearby but not obtrusive and the gracious hostess is a call away if needed.

Accomodation is very clean and comfortable, it has everything you could possibly need. It is set is set in a picturesque landscape on a spacious rural property, quiet, peaceful and relaxing, presenting opportunities for walks along country roads through beautiful old growth native forest. It is close to superb coastal beaches, and magnificent forests, walking tracks and lookouts of Wallingat National Park
My partner and I both loved staying at Yarramin Park and keen to go back in the future.
Cate and Brad are super friendly and helpful. Check in was easy, communication is great and the place is lovely and clean.
The place has everything you need, all kitchen utensils, beach stuff, books, DVDs and brochures for tourist information etc.
The location is beautiful and only 10mins drive to the beach.

Excellent property
We had a lovely stay Yarramin park with our two staffys. Our hosts were wonderful and we were lucky enough to get a kg of prawns from Cate and Brad from the previous nights hall. The cottage was very comfortable and beautifully furnished. Very secure courtyard. We will be back!

Thank you Nicole for your stay. We appreciate the way you left the cottage. We hope to see you and your 2 pups again. Regards, Cate
Our first impression was the fencing for our two small Shih Tzus. Many places claim to have a secured fence, not many properties meet this for small breeds. We give 10/10 to this property for the outdoor area provided. The cottage was great too, with everything we required. No problem with a hot shower either. The location allowed us to explore the lakes from Seal Rocks to Forster. The host was friendly and happy to assist if we had any questions.

Thank you so much for your kind review and for leaving the cottage in such an immaculate manner, would not have known your two beautiful pups were in residence. Hope to see you again
We had a great stay at Cate’s cottage. The location is perfect for exploring Barrington Coast beaches and lakes. The cottage was lovely, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed relaxing at the outdoor patio surrounded by the garden. Cate was very helpful, thoughtful, and a pleasure to communicate with. There was a short black out that only happened while we were out but she made sure we were fine. She was also very flexible with check in times. Would love to come back and stay again!
Lovely and comfortable flat , nice and quiet location surrounded by fields .
Kitchen was good but some things weren’t too clean and the cooking stove wasn’t great .
Firewood supplied , but no way to split the large logs and it took me 4 trips to get kindling to get the big chunks burning ….. eventually .
Minor suggestions for a very enjoyable weekend
Arriving at Cottage was just easy and location perfect for us. Communication with Cate and Brad so lovely and friendly.!
We got fresh prawns for Christmas from Brad and had amazing relaxing break away on farm. The short drive to Seal Rocks each day was great with swimming for us and our water loving 🥰 Labrador.
The whole experience was awesome with the gorgeous decorated cottage fantastic courtyard and safe yard for dog.
Everything was perfect, privacy in our space and the opportunity for a chat about local activities. Thanks so much Cate and Brad. We will definitely return.!

Tranquil and centrally located
Cate is a wonderful host, and will go out of her way to answer any question you may have.
The property itself is centrally located between the beautiful beaches of Seal Rocks and Bluey's. It's also about a 40 minute drive to Foster and Tuncurry.
We initially decided to stay there as it's pet friendly, with a lovely yard for your furry friend to play in. However, the home itself is just divine. Great kitchen and bathroom, loads of quality DVD's, BBQ with a view and best of all... the quiet.
Cannot recommend Yarramin Park Farmstay enough, and the prices are incredibly reasonable to.
We will be back...! :)
