GUEST REVIEWS: Picturesque, Beautiful and a hidden oasis. We did not want to leave this place. Thanks, Drew for allowing us to stay in your amazing home. We booked in house massages which were just icing on the cake. I Will definitely be back! KRISH (Air Bnb) ★★★★★ This place is amazing!! The view alone is spectacular. Drew was very easy to communicate with and the manager was always at the end of the phone to assist. I could not have asked for anything more. It was the perfect place to escape from the world in your own little piece of paradise. I can’t wait to get back down for another break. TARA (Air BnB) ★★★★★ Drew’s place was amazing! The property is secluded from the town which is only a stone's throw away but very private. The views are breathtaking from the stars throughout the night to sunrise. I’ve never seen anything like it. Stunning!! If you want to reconnect to the world with such a laid back vibe relaxing nature and a private place with views that will last a lifetime then please go here. It’s truly a slice of heaven. Drew and his team were amazing hosts, they were very helpful and great to deal with. JOHN (Air BnB) ★★★★★ Ocean Farm is arguably one of the most picturesque settings you will ever come across. Set amongst rolling lush green hills with the ocean as a backdrop the views are mesmerising. As soon as you enter the driveway you will quickly come to realise that you made the right decision coming to Ocean Farm. CHRIS (Air BnB) ★★★★★ Gerringong: A stunning rural coastal town, drawing tourists in to explore the rich culture of art and cafes, Gerringong is a must-see if you are staying with us at Ocean Farm. While it is perfectly understood that you may plan to relax at the house and never leave, should you want to venture out, Gerringong has much to offer. Stop by the Fern Street Gallery to see work by local artists or join one of the many ever-changing workshops at Willowvale Road. If art and craft is not your style, there are many historical sites to explore. Last but not least, Gerringong is known for being a beach town with the incredible Werri Beach, so be sure to pack your swimsuit. Berry: A 15-minute drive from Ocean Farm. If you like your town's cute and quaint with great bakeries selling delicious treats and small shops selling unique and quirky items, then Berry is the place for you! As part of the Shoalhaven Coast wine region, you’ll be impressed by Berry’s food and wine. We feel that Berry is the perfect country getaway and the area offers plenty to see and do. Berry is rich in cultural history, so check out the local art galleries and historical museums. Berry is also a wonderful town to picnic in the park with the family.   Gerroa: A 7 to 10-minute drive South of Ocean Farm. A tiny little town with a long beach. Great for younger kids to play in the sand or walk along the hard-packed sand for miles. Fishing, surfing, windsurfing, and kiteboarding are among the top things to do in Gerroa. Walk along the Gerroa Headland and see dolphins or spot whales migrating along the coast between May and November. The Seven Mile Beach National Park is worth a visit, and you can be sure to find the perfect picnic spot. Explore the rock pools at low tide at Black Head or visit the Sir Charles Kingsford Smith Memorial and Lookout for the best view of the coast. THE CATTLE: The cattle are all friendly and not dangerous. If they come running up to you do not worry, they are just curious. They will not hurt you. However. If you feel nervous, a loud “SHOO” and a wave of your arms should send them running.
