Pump Hill Farm Cottages

Our second visit and won't be our last. The kids just loved cuddling the animals and Gwen is super-knowledgeable and a great host for the daily tractor ride. Definitely recommended for all animal and nature lovers. Rooms are rustic and basic but plenty good enough for our family of 4. Photos to come!

Pump Hill Farm is one of those places that instantly feels special. The cottages are cozy, with beautiful views that make you want to slow down and breathe it all in. We absolutely adored the daily animal feeding, and tractor rides, meeting the friendly donkeys, cows, Guinea pigs, sheep, and chickens is a highlight that creates the sweetest memories we will cherish for years to come. The whole property feels peaceful and safe. The staff we came across were so patient, and you could tell they genuinely love what they have done with the farm, including the interaction with both children and adults, which makes the experience even better.

Coming to Pumphill was truly a great choice. What a wonderful 3 days spent on the farm experiencing the farm life and enagaging with the animals! Gwen and the staff were extremely friendly and hospitable, guiding us and helping us settle in when we arrived. The cottage was a pleasant surprise, clean, a fully equipped kitchen, cozy fireplace and furnishings greeted us and made our stay 'home away from home". Restaurants are just nearby if you do not wish to cook. Cooking in the cottage was a breeze as Groceries and essentials were easily available for purchase at nearby supermarkets and inexpensive, so its really convenient and cost saving too! The morning tractor rides were awesome giving us the opportunity to get up close to the animals! For city dwellers like us, we found this experience with nature truly wonderful. Hikes, other activities and attractions are also not far from the farm. Thumbs up this one! Thank you Pumphill, we will be back😍🤩

Had an amazing family holiday at Pump Hills in early Aug 2025. Despite the rainy weather we had a wonderful time - the cottage is very comfortable with a fireplace to keep warmth (important as we come from tropical Singapore!), animals to keep us occupied - chicken coops, ducks roaming around, horses, cows, alpacas, pigs etc There is a hayride every morning at 830am, definitely a must go! Also “digital detox” entertainment is available - board games, DVDs, and just walking around This place is great if you want to get off the grid for a few days ~ a week, with a full service kitchen & a fridge to prepare your meals. This is definitely not your Hilton; no room service or choice of pillows, but a great way for a country side experience and highly recommended! Thank you Gwen for making us feel so very welcome and at home - will come back again, hopefully sooner than later!

We were here 10 years ago and it was the best farm stay we experienced. However, 10 years later, the spark that made it special is missing. The owners have changed and it is now run by part timers. They were friendly and polite, but it's very different from owners whose passion and pride in the property was once apparent. The cottages are not as clean and the farm experiences were lacking the personal touch of passionate owners. Still, a very relaxing experience.

We had a gorgeous 2 night stay & made an appt at the day spa which was lovely. Terri was super helpful & made sure our stay was amazing ❤️👌

Been coming here for 12 years now, never disappoints. Hayrides are awesome, animals are caring, cool and friendly. Very family friendly. The view from the valley cottages is awesome and breathtaking. Would recommend to anyone who likes outdoors, animals, tranquility and photography and the average Joe, to come here at least once. *few bugs, need to know how to start a fire* other than that you’re living the life. When Farmer Mark does his celebrity hayride… you are in for a treat.

We recently had 3 nights here. It’s great that the kids get to interact with the animals, the farm setting is beautiful and the tractor rides each morning are a highlight. The kid’s playground and flying fox was also A+ That said, the cabins are in need of an update. I don’t think anything (including carpets) has been updated since the 1980s when they were built. After checking out of Pump Hill, we checked into a nearby similar mud-cottage business and stayed in for 2 nights. The accommodation was worlds apart - the other accommodation had hot water, was better maintained and just felt like it had been given some TLC, while still retaining its rustic charm. At Pump Hill we unfortunately had to shower (and try to wash dishes) in tepid water, which isn’t fun in the middle of a Pemberton winter. We didn’t shower the kids at all because it was so unpleasant. The farmhand came on the second afternoon at our request and changed the gas bottles, but this only resulted in a couple of degrees warmer water. Basically a lovely setting that just needs some $$$ spent on maintenance (and hot water!)

Pump Hill Farm This is the second time we've stayed and will probably come back again. It is the ideal family accommodation in Pemberton, perfect for toddlers, small and big kids (adults and teenagers). The cottages are clean with the basic amenities, including a kitchen stocked with more than the standard cooking utensils so you can whip up muffins using the eggs you've collected from the chickens that morning. Every morning, rain, hail or shine, at 8:30am the farmer runs a tractor ride to get the kids to help feed the animals - donkeys, cows, sheep, goats, alpacas, ducks, geese, chickens and turkeys. Then the kids can collect the chicken and duck eggs for breakfast. There is a big playground with a trampoline, swings and cubby houses, making Pump Hill Farm a place you never need to leave. Pump Hill Farm is next to a number of mountain bike tracks for the sporty people, up the hill from the beautiful Pemberton pool set in the river and a five minute pop into town to get supplies drive. Everyone is expected to treat the animals with respect, which is not a big ask. It is the only thing I've seen that can make the farmer angry.
