Gardenfarm Retreat Hiawatha

Gardenfarm Retreat

Gardenfarm is so much more than a farmstay! Nestled in the picturesque and peaceful foothills of Hiawatha. Gardenfarm is a quietly working permaculture farm where they offer a variety of privately situated accommodation, retreats, horse riding is available at the neighbour's ranch, natural therapies, yoga, and we produce organic free-range eggs, fruit, vegetables, lamb and beef and more.

Located just 20 minutes from Yarram. Relax in a private, self-catered cottage Walden Cottage or book a remote tiny house Tiny House or book a Camping site. Each accommodation offers guests all the degrees of privacy and features that Gardenfarm has to offer- lush green paddocks, a waterfall, a rainforest, morning mists, a wide array of birdlife and farm animals, and should you wish to visit in the cooler months, an unforgettable winter moonlight.

Gardenfarm is perfect for those wanting to find solace in nature, family time, a getaway with your special someone or those seeking to learn more about permaculture and farm life. So, whether you are looking for solitude, peace and quiet, some pampering, or if you want to talk about the world, permaculture, farming and the future of kinstance, you will be well looked after at Gardenfarm. If you join in the retreats, courses or dinners, all meals are lovingly prepared from organic and locally sourced produce.
