Armidale Accommodation

Life in the Slow Lane .... for those discerning people who are looking for that haven of peace and comfort, removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life but still conveniently close enough to Armidale and Uralla. Cruickshanks offers a lovely balance of passive and active possibilities together with the sights and sounds of Ozzie outback life on a 1000 acre grazing property in the heart of New England. Recently a satisfied guest wrote ...... " It is great that every expectation of your famed hospitality and accommodation near Armidale have been exceeded...well done."

CRUICKSHANKS FARMSTAY WAS PROFILED ON TV !!

Sydney Weekender With Mike Whitney on 13th September 2008

And again by The WIN Television "Postcards Australia" team, soon to be televised in May or June 2010.

For families, Cruickshanks is a very welcoming place for children, where if they want, they can take part in the ongoing farm activities on a sheep and cattle property... and learn how life ticks in the country....They can get close up and friendly with animals, feed the chooks, collect the eggs, see a real shearing shed, actually smell and feel the wool....and lots more.

While for couples, it can be just that secluded romantic retreat politely distanced from the rest of the world.

"Dulce est disipere in loco." ...... Sweet it is to relax in the right place.

Give yourselves the opportunity to simply soak up the peaceful atmosphere of Cruickshanks and leave your stress at home or back at work. Spoil yourselves ... Just sit back and relax ... there are sunny verandahs and in winter crackling wood fires ... stroll out at night to gaze at the moon in the best starry skies ... In the mornings wake up to the music of bird song and the tantalizing aromas of breakfast.

The beautiful countryside is a walker's paradise ... a photographer's delight ... an ornithologist's dream come true...it is forever an angler's challenge ... and at night a stargazer's seventh heaven.

"Simply pack great expectations and take home wonderful memories"
