About the host
Hosted by Robyn Olsson
We are passionate about sharing our peaceful, picturesque, and sprawling property with guests.
The Olsson family—Donald and Janice, along with their five children—originally lived in Parramatta, NSW. In 1973, they moved to the Darlington property, where they operated a dairy farm before transitioning to beef cattle farming in 1979.
We take great pleasure in hearing that guests enjoy spending quality time together, reconnecting with each other, and immersing themselves in the captivating nature surrounding Eighteen Mile.
Attention to comfort and detail is certainly our priority.
