Accommodation and amenities suit the surroundings – at Barkala Farm they are a delightful combination of hand-built European and Australian-style guesthouses.
Come and stay on the working farm, Barkala, where you can wander the 12,000 acres home to cows, goats, sheep and horses and also chickens and ducks. Pick one of the eco-friendly unique hand-built guesthouses to stay in and soak in the rustic atmosphere or set up your tent or caravan in the campground.

Barkala Farmstay is home to Pilliga Pottery and they offer pottery classes, bird watching and bush walks at this magical place. The farm animals are always lots of fun to visit during your stay.
