Peaceful in paradise

Driving along a dusty country road we we welcomed into this peaceful oasis. The owners were engaging eith lots of interesting life stories and the property was very comfortable. We loved all the artworks and sculptures everywhere. The property was clean and quiet with lots of extra touches including fresh flowers everywhere. Even after we we, left the owners still kindly shared more local tips. Our only problem, it was so lovely, we had to drag ourselves away!

Holiday escape

We were impressed by the webpage but blown away by the hospitality and accommodation offered at Elysian Fields Retreat Sculpture Park and Farmstay. Glenn and Jacqui were outstanding hosts providing us with the space to enjoy the fabulous surroundings but also welcoming us with a tour of the property and feeding each day of the fabulous animals. I cannot recommend this accommodation enough we will always remember our trip and hope to go back soon!

Welcoming hosts, lovely location, perfect stay for our family

Great place for our family holiday. Thank you so much Glen & Jeki for sharing your piece of paradise and making our stay so memorable. by day we spent time exploring the area and artworks, playing darts, swimming and family board games. By night we watched the Milky Way emerge and the distant mountains fade at twilight. Very much looking forward to visiting again.

Relaxing times

We had a wonderful few days on the property. The owners were extremely obliging, even showing us around their property. The sculptures added an extra nuance to the Australian landscape. We felt very welcome.

Food for the soul in this paradise

Peace and tranquility abound at this picturesque property. The guesthouse is very comfortable and well equipped with breakfast items and everything you need to self cater. Glen and Jeki are the friendliest people and the most gracious hosts. Glen's artistic talents adorn the 35 acres and he is more than happy to show you around which we loved. Treat yourself to this piece of paradise, it's just fabulous. We are the proud owners of one of Glen's gorgeous girls of the Joy de Vivre sculptures and now another smaller one. We are looking forward to hanging some of his photography works too. The property is a haven for wildlife and stretches down to the Macleay river. Elysian Fields is a relaxing experience! The sounds of silence and the surrounding bush were bliss!

Caring hosts, lovely accomadation and magical setting

Thanks Jeki and Glen for your generous hospitality. Great way to get away from the basic motels on the main road and enjoy a break on the way to Qld. Would have loved to stay a few more days. Comfortable cottage in a peaceful environment with beautiful artwork throughout the property. My wife, myself as well our 3 kids loved feeding the animals, swimming in the pool, the afternoon walk, eggs and veggies for a meal and topping it off with drinks on the veranda at sunset.

Wonderful relaxing time, amazing art installations

We had a fantastic time at Elysian, Jacquie and Glen were generous and gracious hosts. The property is beautiful, and dotted with enchanting artworks and sculptures. The guest house was spotlessly clean and very well appointed, with timber lined walls and well furnished. Our son loved the animals and space to run around. I would have no reservations as all recommending Elysian to anyone wanting a country break or a quiet place to relax.

Stunning setting, lovely hosts

The cottage set amongst the backdrop of the upper Macleay River valley was the perfect place for some rest and recuperation. Our hosts were charming and the farm was full of interesting walks with native wildlife everywhere you looked. Having farm fresh eggs in the morning was a treat!!! The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable and tranquil holiday in a very beautiful part of the north coast. Very happy to be the first stayz guests too!!! Steve and Robbie
