Attractions

The yurt is located next to our Secret Forest, a gentle riverine area scattered with fruit trees that are decades old. Feel free to have a swing under the ancient Oak, or a stroll through our budding fruit orchard adjacent to the river. Pick a fruit from a historic fig tree over 6 m tall, or a pomegranate for your morning fruit salad (season dependent).

Porcupine Hills is also good for bird watching including rare sightings of Coots on the dam or a Vereaux Eagle over the cliffs. There are a number of hikes around the farm and also mountain bike trails on nearby farms.
