Gracemere Farmstead Farmstay Accommodation

Come and enjoy your stay at Gracemere Farmstead, a working regenerative family farm located in the beautiful Northern Rivers of NSW.

Gracemere Farmstead is in Yorklea NSW, approximately 15 minutes from the closest town (Casino) and 25 minutes from Lismore. Casino has 3 supermarkets, plenty of dining options and other smaller retail shops. The nearest beach is Evans Head, just 40 minutes’ drive away. Evans Head has a beautiful river to enjoy or frolic in the waves at one of the several beaches.

Maybe you would enjoy sitting and gazing out at the lovely farm landscape whilst reading a good book.

At night you can do some start-gazing and be mesmerised. You can also enjoy sitting around a blazing fire in the communal fire pit, roasting marshmallows and drinking coffee or even billy tea.

Other things to note about our accommodation:

We are a working farm so there is potential for some noise. We also ask that guests do not enter into any paddocks or brooder area unless they are on the farm tour to keep our guests and the farm animals safe. There is electric fencing used on the property.

We are a completely off-grid property unconnected to the grid. This means:

  • You can charge small electronic devices like your mobile phone,

    but it’s best to conserve power as much as possible as the battery

    storage is limited. You won’t want to run out of power at night.

  • All units are equipped with ceiling fans. The Guest Wing has

    ducting from the main house’s wood fire to take the chill off the air.

    The Farmstay unit has a gas heater. The East Wing has a wood

    fire (BYO wood).

  • We have a well-equipped Camp Kitchen for guests to use (no

    cooking in the units). The Camp Kitchen has a large gas oven and

    cooktop, washing-up facilities, picnic tables and firepit area. Please

    BYO firewood.

  • When there has been limited sunshine the generator will come on.

    Occasionally during the night the power may go off and will not go

    back on till early morning..
