Lavendale Farm welcomes families, groups and couples. We have 64ha of gently sloping land on the banks of the Avon River 10 mins drive south of York in the beautiful Avon Valley. Accommodation is in self contained 1, 2 and 3 bedroom cottages including a fully wheelchair accessible unit. Two of our units can be booked together to give a 5 bedroom complex with 2 kitchens, living areas and bathrooms, plus an additional toilet. Each of our cottages has their own outdoor eating area with BBQ. Each has its own theme so they are all different but all have well setup kitchens, large living and dining areas and full bathrooms. We have enclosed wood fires in winter and evaporative air-conditioning in summer. Some units have split cycle air-conditioning. TVs with DVD players, DVD’s and books are in each cottage. We have a large Dining Room for in-house conferences or group events, and a smaller meeting room between two of our units.
There is plenty to do on the farm. Our stable is home to horses, ponies, alpacas and donkeys. We have sheep, goats, pet pigs, an ostrich and some cattle plus numerous ducks and chickens. The children will love the playground or enjoy our activity room. Guests are invited to help feed the animals in the evening and collect eggs. Enjoy wonderful walks along the river bank or sandalwood plantation, or simply relax and enjoy the peace of the country. With clear skies the star show at night is spectacular.
