Cruickshanks Farmstay is the perfect place to experience the sights and sounds of Aussie outback life on a 1000 acre super fine wool and commercial Angus cattle property.

Offering quality accommodation either in The Cottage or Homestead with options from self catering, B & B to fully inclusive packages.

Guests are invited to join in with farm activities and to enjoy a 4WD farm and woolshed tour. Learn how a woolshed operates and how working dogs control sheep and cattle.

There are Scottish Highland cows to see with their shaggy coats and long horns, the miniature horses Fern, Fonzie and Jellybean to pat, chooks to feed and eggs to collect.

Wander in the serene countryside, spot some of the hundred or so different varieties of birds, view Australian flora and fauna, fish for perch and yabbies in the farm dams and Mihi Creek which meanders for six kms through the property.

For the adventurous an excellent horse riding experience is available nearby including half and full day plus overnight horse rides into wilderness areas. Cruickshanks is right on the doorstep to National Parks and the pleasures of bush walking.

Explore the historic gold rush township of Uralla, and Armidale, a more refined city of cathedrals and the University of New England. 

Travel to Armidale from Brisbane or Sydney by regional air services or country rail services from Sydney, road coach services and self drive.
