Allusion Farmstay and Vineyard

Allusion Farmstay and Vineyard Where animals rule, the wine flows and real farm life never quite goes to plan! We are not currently open for walk-ins.

Building, growing, cooking, and learning as we go — one glass, one laugh, one calm moment at a time.

There are some things you just can’t really put in an accommodation listing.
We can tell you how many bedrooms there are, show you the kitchen, the pool and where you’ll sleep.
But it’s harder to explain waking up and looking out at this.

The Maremmas wandering around doing their rounds.
The ridiculous number of animals who all seem to think they own the place.
The sunsets that still make us stop and look.

It’s definitely not a perfectly manicured resort.
It’s our home, a little working farm and usually a fair bit of chaos.

And that’s kind of the whole point.
Come stay in the middle of it.

Chicken Town 2.0 is coming along nicely 🐔

The walls are getting sturdier, the gates are finally on and after a combination of YouTube tutorials, ChatGPT and making it up as I went along, I can build gates now.

Still plenty to do. There is ALWAYS plenty to do.

The full Chicken Town 2.0 episode is now up on YouTube if you want to see how we got here 👇

My dad always used to have this saying- “If you go home hungry or sober, it’s your own fault.”
And growing up as one of 10 kids with a chef Mumma, I think mass feeding people was probably always going to be in my blood.

I still have absolutely no idea how to cook for two people…
I do, however, know how to cook a good steak, roast a ridiculous amount of pumpkin and make sure nobody leaves hungry.

Which is why I love catering here at Allusions so much.
Everyone can settle in around the table, eat too much, have another glass of wine and best of all- stay the night.
No one has to worry about heading home.

Turns out Dad’s philosophy fits in pretty well around here!

Farm skills start early around here!

Pete giving Tom a quick excavator lesson, while Miller provides the most enthusiastic commentary from the sidelines.

“GOOD JOB TOM!” ❤️
Everyone needs a Miller in their corner…

Dave made himself at home pretty quickly.

Somewhere along the way, the bottle lamb who was meant to be staying outside became a jumper-wearing, dog-cuddling, house-visiting member of the family.

Kingsley, the part time farm puppy didn’t seem to mind either. ❤️

Just another completely normal situation at Allusions.

A fairly normal day at Allusions…
Someone wants breakfast.
Someone else also wants breakfast.
The pigs are absolutely certain they have never been fed in their lives.
The peacocks are somewhere they probably shouldn’t be.
The Maremmas have been supervising everyone since sunrise.
And eventually it all goes quiet again.
Until tomorrow….

Marge surprised us with nine piglets — and now they’re big enough to cause absolute mayhem. 🐷💨
They’re fast, noisy, ridiculously cute… and our pig pen wasn’t even finished when they arrived.

Every now and then people ask us how we manage to keep everything running around here.

The honest answer?

We don’t. 😂

Between the dogs making executive decisions, pigs rewriting the schedule, sheep finding new ways to escape and chickens refusing to follow instructions… we’ve accepted that we’re mostly here for quality control.

Somehow it all works out in the end.

(We think.)

One of the best parts of running a farmstay?

The little people.

Keaton came to stay with his family, already completely obsessed with our animals.

We wandered the farm chatting about Benny, Honey, Alby, Toby and Millie.

Somewhere between all those conversations, he decided we were mates (yay!).

Then his dad sent me the last photo…

Apparently his toy farm came with a farmer called TJ ❤️

That’s a title I’ll happily keep. 🤍🐓

Around here, family isn’t always decided by species.

Sometimes it just… happens.

Millie never signed up to be a mum to a tiny orphan lamb…

But she’s taken the job on with the patience only a good Maremma could. 🤍🐑🐾
