If you’re looking for a unique and heartwarming family experience in the stunning Margaret River region, Qwack’s Farm is the perfect destination! Located just 25 minutes from Busselton and a short two-minute drive from the famous Beerfarm, this hidden gem offers an unforgettable hands-on farm experience with some of the most lovable animals you’ll ever meet.
Qwack’s Farm is a new and growing family-run business, making it even more special to support. They are currently building a shop where visitors will soon be able to purchase refreshments and have bathroom access, enhancing the overall experience.
Qwack’s Farm offers two types of tours, allowing visitors to connect with nature, explore farm life, and interact with a variety of friendly animals. The full farm tour lasts approximately an hour and includes walking through the paddocks, feeding pigs and chickens, exploring a spray-free market garden, and getting up close with the adorable sheep, and goats. The full farm tour ends with cow cuddling.
The cow cuddling session is a shorter 45-minute experience, focusing solely on interacting with the gentle full-sized and miniature cows. These affectionate animals love attention and are always up for a cuddle, chin scratch, or photo opportunity. Brushes, hairclips and flower crowns are available to make the cows look extra cute!
Did you know that hugging a cow can actually improve your well-being? Studies have shown that physical touch with animals can lower anxiety, reduce stress, and promote relaxation. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, animal therapy, or simply a peaceful escape into nature, spending time with these affectionate creatures is an experience like no other.
All ages are welcome at Qwack’s Farm, though children 15 and under must be accompanied by an adult. The tours are designed to be peaceful and relaxing, making them ideal for families or individuals looking for a quiet nature experience. To ensure the safety of the animals, dogs are not allowed on the farm. Proper footwear is required – boots are best! Tours have a limit of 10 people, making the experience more intimate and enjoyable.
For those who want to extend their farm experience, Qwack’s Farm offers a cozy two-bedroom house available for booking on Airbnb. Nestled in the heart of the Margaret River region, this accommodation provides the perfect country retreat for couples, small families, or groups of friends. Guests have access to the entire property, including a winter creek, multiple ponds, a swing, and the friendly farm animals.
Qwack’s Farm is more than just a farm visit – it’s an opportunity to reconnect with nature, slow down, and experience the simple joys of farm life. Whether you’re cuddling cows, feeding the animals, or staying for a peaceful getaway, this charming farm offers a wholesome and enriching experience.
After our visit to Qwack’s Farm, we stopped by the famous Beerfarm for a slip and slide and lunch.
