"Such a lovely couple of days away at the farm! Felt instantly relaxed in the beautiful surroundings. Cathy made us feel really welcome and went out of her way for us. Great log fire at night and enjoyed drinking wine under the stars. The hayrides and animal feedings were a highlight for our son. Thank you, Cathy! We had a wonderful time :)" - Happy Guest
"Just home from a perfect 3 nights at Gumleaf Cottage - our first farm stay experience did not fail to deliver! Cathy was a beautiful, humble host and her cottage is very quaint and authentic. The kids loved the daily interactions with bunnies, goats, ponies, and more - collecting fresh eggs was a particular favorite! The grown-ups enjoyed evening wine by the cozy log fire! Local area was great too though we really didn’t need to venture far - there was ample to keep us entertained on the farm! Our kids were quick also to bond with the adorable farm dogs Tux and Teddy - and we mustn’t forget Oreo the guinea pig who got lots of attention too! Thanks to Cathy and all for everything!" - Satisfied Guest
"We had a lovely long weekend at Cathy's farm stay. The kids loved feeding the animals morning and night while riding the quad bike, and Cathy gave them a great horse riding experience. Great location (only 30 minutes from home). The accommodation was well set up with the open fireplace a lovely touch. We will definitely be back. Thanks, Cathy!" - Delighted Guest

"The manor was beautiful and cosy, and Cathy was a very accommodating host. Kids had a wonderful time during our stay with plenty to do at and around the area."
"If you're looking for a place that is near to the city and you want to experience the nature closer, then Gumleaf Cottage would be your choice. The Manor was a good fit for 3A2C (5yo and 18mth). The rooms are cleaned, refreshed and refilled. There is an induction cooker and microwave which you could dish up simple meals. The beds are on the softer side but good enough for a couple of nights. There are toys, books to keep the kids entertained. The water heater was stable and toiletries, fresh linen, hair dryer were also provided. More importantly, we are thankful to Cathy for providing us with a baby tub so that our littlest could have her soak in this chilly winter. The overall farm experience was great. My girls both went on the pony ride, with my eldest on Missy and youngest on Mickey. All the animals on the ground are very friendly towards both adults and young children - especially their dogs Teddy and Lara. Feeding is usually done in the day and we had Evie who brought us around (Good luck in your future endeavors if you ever see this!). We also managed to lit up the "campfire" bucket and bbq some mashmellow and corn cobs. Witnessing the stars in total darkness is something you'd never experience in Singapore. So that was really cool as an adult. We would recommend that you head to Midland Gate in the day time or drive up to Mondo Nougats or House of Honey during your visit there. You could also take your time to explore the farm more. We were here during winter period, so the citrus fruits bloomed and we had the opportunity to "pluck" 2 from the lemon and Orange/Tangerine trees. So that was something cool for the kids too, to see how fruits grow in reality. This trip is a lot more for the kids than the adult. Both of them can't forget the experience they had on the horse. Thanks for hosting us Cathy."
"We had a great stay at Gumleaf Cottage for 4 nights with 3 kids (2, 5, 7)! Very family-oriented with lots of toys, books and games, a high-chair, playground, trampoline etc., all of which my kids thoroughly enjoyed. Their favourite part of the experience had to be the daily animal feeding, cuddling the bunnies and guinea pigs, the hay rides with Evie (who was so patient and good with the kids) and the pony/horse rides! Thanks to Cathy for her kind hospitality, Evie for taking us through the farm activities every day, and special thanks to the doggos too, especially dear Teddy whom the kids still talk about now :)"
"I recently stayed in the Manor for a few days with my 3yo and 10mo. We had such a great time! Gumleaf Cottage Farmstay is perfect for little kids - the accomodation is set up with toys, games and a high chair; the farm has play areas with ride-on toys, swings, slides and a trampoline. Cathy is a wonderful, warm host who made sure we had everything we needed - including a pram to use around the farm. The Parkerville Tavern is minutes away and also has a great playground and good meals. The highlight for us was definitely feeding the animals with Evie each morning. She was so good with the kids - really patient and kind. My 3yo loved riding in the hay trailer behind the quad bike. I loved that it’s only a 40 min drive from the city, while still feeling a world away. We’ll definitely be back for another stay - and hopefully for longer next time!"
"We had the best family get away here over Easter at the cottage. It was so cute and cosy. It is small but surprisingly it didn’t both us at all! Was nice to sit together as a family around the fire. I don’t normally write reviews but we had such an amazing time and experience I just had to. Cathy went above and beyond to make our Easter memorable for our kids. The animals are gorgeous and you can tell are very well loved. Planning on going back with our friends and their small kids soon"
