The Hamer family settled on 'Wardell' in 1840 and the 7th generation Hamers are living on the farm today. Around the house we have Kelpie and Border Collie dogs, plenty of horses, a pet pig that does tricks and alpacas that often eat out of your hand. We welcome you to join us at Barcoos - whether you're a local looking for a 'farm experience' or a visitor looking for a few days away from 'the big smoke'.

Elaine and the team do a remarkable job at Barcoos. The theatrics and knowledgeable facts given throughout the farming experience are a wonderful addition to the animal feedings. Our group aged from 2 - 55 years and all enjoyed the day. We will definitely be back and I cannot thank Elaine enough for making my birthday so special.

Stayed here for a week, the communication with Elaine and Ken was quick and easy, especially with last minute booking.
Stayed in an unpowered site, with a beautiful view of the farm, animals and surrounding farms. Scenery is great.
The animals on the farm are so precious.
Bathroom and shower facilities are exactly what you need, a lot of hot water for those cold nights.
Thanks again, would definitely go back

"Grandchildren didn't want to Leave!!"
We have travelled a lot but Barcoos have the whole package for children's farm experience. From lamb feeding, horse riding, chicken, pig, cow & donkey feeding, horse & carriage rides as well as a large safe trampoline the kids loved too. Our eldest got a Draft horse ride which she loved!! The dogs became their best friends!!! Elaine was a very experienced wonderful farmer who was strict but fair with rules due to safety around animals. She gave our grandchildren an experience they will never forget. We absolutely loved waking up excited for the days activities

Delightful few days away. We stayed in the valley view unit which was warm and comfortable. Unlimited playtime with the lambs, chickens, ducks and dogs. Great morning and afternoon farm activities including riding in the trailer with the dogs to go to the end of the property and feed the cows, horses, sheep and gorgeous Eeyore the donkey. Animal encounters with Georgie the pig, the alpacas and the ponies were a real treat. Thanks so much Elaine, Ken, Cam and wonderful helpers.
A must do experience!!

This was our first solo camping experience but with our son in mind we booked it. We had the most amazing camping experience with all amenities. If you are an animal lover like me and my son, you have stuck gold mine. Elaine, Cam and Jaden are the most amazing host and we fell in love with this place and all it’s animals. My son didn’t want to leave the place. We are definitely going back soon. Recommend this as a combined camping and farm experience. It’s just awesome, you really need to experience this.

This farm experience was worth every cent, we arrived a little early to make sure we were on time. We were greeted by Paris and Catherine who showed us around this beautiful farm. Our kids loved feeding Penny the lamb, the alpacas, the chickens and ducks, and the highlight was definitely feeding Pattie the sheep while she showed us her tricks and the pony rides with Zara and cute little hunter. We all loved our time there and will be back for sure. Thankyou for having a us and making us feel so welcome. We will be recommending this experience to all of our friends.
