About this property

Riverland family escape

Located just a short distance from the River Murray, this contemporary farmhouse stands proudly in the centre of a once fully operational citrus farm. The farmhouse is able to sleep 8, yet has all the creature comforts any traveller could imagine.

4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms makes this home perfect for families and large groups visiting the Riverland to relax and recharge.

The new design echoes the proud citrus growing history of the area and gives guests an authentic glimpse into the life of a local in the Riverland.

This farmhouse features a large private outdoor area with a fire pit and incredible views of the farm. Located on nearly 10 acres of land, guests can explore the farm and create memories and experiences to last a lifetime. This farmhouse is a truly one of the kind home and is the ultimate Riverland family getaway.

A Wonderful Stay

This property was all that we could of asked for. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Everything we needed was there. The little extras left by the owners were really appreciated. We found an amazing fishing and relaxing spot just five minutes down the road in Ramco. The meals and service at the nearby hotel in Waikerie were excellent. We would not hesitate to stay there again and look forward to our next visit to Longstocking Farm.

comfortable serenity amongst the orchards

After staying 2 nights at Longstocking Farm I highly recommend it. It is in a serene location amongst orange orchards few minutes outside of Waikerie, a town as beautiful as any in the Riverland. The house is brand new, fully furnished, air-conditioned and has facilities for babies and kids. There's a collection of DVDs, books and games. Linen is supplied as are tea, coffee, cereal, cordial and some other condiments. There is a keypad to unlock the door - no keys to lose. From this base I was able to travel to all the major towns in the Riverland and home again in one afternoon. I would recommend staying longer if you can - spend a day or two exploring the towns, a day or two playing on the Murray and a day or two just at the house soaking up the peace and quiet. Sun streamed into the lounge and master bedroom, keeping them toasty on the chilly mornings when I was there. If you leave the door open in the bathroom you can even shower overlooking the orchards, the sweet smell of orange blossoms drifting in. Being a new house there's not much outside yet, but there is a clothesline and a pit for campfires. It is right next to the Waikerie golf course. The price was good for the standard of accommodation and the owners were lovely to deal with and very helpful. If you want a real holiday 'in the country' you could do much worse than this place - right near the recreational facilities of Waikerie but private and away from traffic and noise. I'll be back!

Longstocking Farm accomodation

Stayed there for a work trip to the region for 2 weeks. While it is a short drive into Waikerie and the water, it was a pleasant and easy house to stay in, check-in and out was very smooth, and Kim was very accommodating with any changes we requested.

Sunlands

My daughters and I had a wonderful time exploring the riverland and this rental was a great place to come back to at the end of the day. It was extremely hot when we arrived and Kim had turned on the air conditioning for us which we were very thankful for! The house was clean and tidy the beds were comfortable and it had all we needed. The only things that I personally would have liked would of been a dish washer and some outdoor under cover area but for the price I did not mind at all! I would definitely go back again!

About the host

Hosted by Kim Moffatt

Host profile image
We have been frequent visitors to the Riverland for many years, enjoying the peace of the place and the friendliness of the local people. Our family has enjoyed countless holidays here and we know you will too.

Longstocking Farm was once a fully irrigated citrus orchard containing over 300 Washington Navel Orange trees and 100 Tangelo trees. The property is now in the process of slowly being converted into a self-sufficient, hobby / lifestyle farm. Having traveled extensively throughout the world, we know all too well how expensive it can be for families and large groups to stay in hotels. We hope that Longstocking Farm gives you an affordable option for staying in the Riverland and a unique opportunity to live like a local whilst staying in the Riverland.

Why they chose this property

As the property is not located within the township of Waikerie, you can experience the real peace and tranquillity of the Riverland on nearly 10 acres of land. You're still just a 10 minute drive into the township of Waikerie if you need anything. We can sleep up to 8 guests in 4 bedrooms, with 2 bathrooms, which makes it one of the most comfortable properties in the area for large families.

What makes this property unique

It is one of the few rental properties in the area to boast 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and to be located on nearly 10 acres of land, which is more than enough room to park your cars and boats.
