Goulburn Yurtfarm & Kids' Camps

Goulburn Yurtfarm & Kids' Camps offers a holiday with a difference for family groups, school groups and clubs.

The Yurtfarm is situated just outside Goulburn on a 1,174 acre property with beautiful rolling hills and bush. Here, your children can enjoy the natural thrill of working for fun on a real farm. They'll learn lots of practical, useful skills, as well as a sense of independence and achievement. The aim is to give children self-confidence and a sense of achievement whilst having fun.

The children stay in roundhouses called 'yurts', a bit like a big cubby house, based on the Mongolian tent design. The Yurtvillage surrounds a farm dam and contains 15 yurts including the kitchen-yurt, bathroom-yurt, craft-yurt, workshop-yurt and 2 toilet-yurts. The other yurts are used for accommodation. The theme of the Yurtvillage is 'Back to Basics' so, NO electricity. The yurts have a stove, army mattresses and a little solar light.

There are plenty of activities such as a flying fox and a lot of other cool things. A sample program includes kids making their own pancacke breakfast (milking the cow, collecting the eggs and grinding the wheat for the ingredients), go horse riding and feed the pigs and goats. In the afternoon, make crafts, make boats to sail on the dam and fish for yabbies. Go for a bushwalk to discover nature and learn bush skills. In the evening, join the family for a big home cooked meal with home-grown organic frut and vegetables, have a singalong beside the campfire and take a ghostwalk.

Prices for accommodation an meals are half price for children under 6 and discounts apply on activities and ghost walks for groups.
