Grey Nomad Caretaker Experience

⭐ Testimonial – Grey Nomad Caretaker Experience

“Staying at Berry Springs Farmstay has been one of the highlights of our travels through the Northern Territory.
We enjoyed looking after the animals each morning and spending our afternoons relaxing by the pool or exploring the local area.
The property is peaceful, the animals have so much character, and Silvia made us feel right at home.
It’s a wonderful lifestyle for anyone who enjoys independence, nature, and giving a helping hand while on the road.” 🌿🚐🐾

Donkey Care at Berry Springs Farmstay

Staying at Berry Springs Farmstay was an unforgettable experience, especially because of the donkeys. These gentle creatures quickly became the highlight of my stay. Every morning, I’d head out to their paddock, greeted by their curious brays and soft, velvety noses.

Caring for the donkeys was both relaxing and rewarding. From brushing their coats to ensuring their feed and water were topped up, the tasks brought a sense of peace and purpose to each day. They each had unique personalities—some playful and cheeky, others calm and affectionate—which made bonding with them so special.

Silvia’s guidance was invaluable; her passion for the animals shone through in every detail. She patiently explained how to properly care for the donkeys, sharing tips and stories that enriched the experience.

For anyone looking to reconnect with nature and enjoy the company of some truly wonderful animals, I can’t recommend the donkey care experience at Berry Springs Farmstay enough. It’s more than just a farmstay—it’s a chance to create memories with animals that will steal your heart.

"We spent four wonderful weeks at Berry Springs Farm Stay and it was truly a highlight of our trip to Australia.

From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome and at home by the friendly owners. The farm stay is beautifully set up with farm style rooms and stunning views at the pool.

We loved the opportunity to help with the daily chores on the farm, such as feeding the animals and collecting baby chicken from the chicken coop to re-home them. It was a great way to experience rural life and learn about sustainable lifestyle practices. And of course, enjoying a fresh home made juices straight from the farm was a real treat!

The location was also ideal for exploring the surrounding area, with many beautiful beaches and attractions within easy reach.

We particularly enjoyed a day trip to Kakadu National Park and a visit to the nearby Territory Wildlife Park.

Thank you again for a fantastic stay. We would highly recommend Berry Springs Farm Stay to anyone looking for a peaceful and authentic tropical experience."

Building Ponds
Sarah  (Poland)

During my time at Berry Springs Farmstay, we helped set up some ponds and worked on landscaping around the property.

It was incredibly hot, but the refreshing pool was a lifesaver! We figured soon out to work in the early mornings to stay cool.

Taking a dip after a hard day's work was the perfect way to cool off.

The experience was both physically demanding and rewarding, and the natural beauty of the farm made it all worthwhile.

I loved contributing to the farm’s growth and enjoying the peaceful surroundings!
