Join our Exciting Weekend in Braidwood! 4 & 5 November.

Explore the Open Gardens around Braidwood, and meet Jackie French at Mona Farm.

Watch the Pony Club Mounted Games “Friendly Match” at the Showgrounds.

And pop into Saddle Camp for a ride, and to try some Lavender Shortbread.

We’ll have samples of Lavender Shortbread (made with lavender picked from our garden, with bees gently removed), and Wattle Seed Shortbread.

We’d LOVE to hear which is your favourite!

Looking forward to a magical weekend, and hope to see you then,

from Helen

P.S. We’ll be open Saturday & Sunday, from 9 am to 7 pm.

But book ahead for horse riding.

Would you like to be a "Mystery Shopper" for Tiny Away?

I just received this letter from Tiny Away, and thought you might be interested…  


Tiny Away is looking for a Brand Ambassador, where you'll play a pivotal role in promoting our extraordinary tiny homes, nurturing meaningful connections with our customers, and sharing the joy of minimalist living.

Our Brand Ambassador must:
* Enjoy traveling
* Like a short getaway
* Have a great memory to recall the details of your stay
* Be no stranger to feedback forms and reviews.

Prepare for an unforgettable one night stay at one of our charming Tiny Houses in the state that interests you.

You might even be among the FIRST to experience a Soon-to-Launch tiny house.

You can bring along a plus one to share in the joy.  Good things are even better when enjoyed together!

Online Certificate III in Horse Care, currently subsidised by the Government.

This Just Came Across My Desk…

What a fantastic opportunity!  It can even be completed as part of your School Leaving Certificate.

If you don’t have “3 calm, consistent and obedient horses” to use for the Practical Assessment, you’re very welcome to use our Saddle Camp horses!  

We could film the practical components here in a day, or as part of a Work Experience Camp.

Check out the Australian Equine Institute’s website here, and I’ve attached the Info Pack here.

The Perfect Addition to a Mum & Daughter Weekend Away.

I was blown away last week when Corinne Lawson, of Skin & Sage Creative, gave me her Treatments List for Facials and Massages she can provide to our guests staying in our Tiny Homes!

If you’re looking for a super relaxing weekend, where your daughter (or son!) can spend all their time riding with us, and you can:

  • Have your meals served to you;

  • Swing in a hammock for hours; AND

  • Have a Hydrating & Soothing Facial, or a Body Polish and Massage;

    Then choose your dates and we can make it happen!

All the details are on www.braidwoodfarmstay.com.au/play, or

call Helen on 0417 456 093 or email thesaddlecamp@gmail.com

Easier than ever to stop for a treat!

This is me having a quick cuppa with Destiny,

celebrating finishing our new online Menu!

We can’t wait to welcome you to our Farm and Cafe!  

You can enjoy Meals and Treats in our Clubhouse Dining Room,

out on the Veranda,

sitting in the climbing tree in the Playground,

in a Hammock at a secret picnic spot,

or snug in a Tiny House.

Our Cafe is open from 9 am to 7 pm Tuesdays through to Sundays,

and you can use this menu system to book ahead/make a reservation.

And I just wanted to thank our Government for creating the

AusIndustry’s Entrepreneurs Programme, and including me!

Antonella Lopez, their Digital Services Specialist, has been a great help smoothing out ordering from our “Ghost Kitchen”.  And Sunny at Foodship in Melbourne (who created this app) has been amazing too.

I hope you have time to have a quick look, just for fun.
