11 Acre Farm — Attraction in Forrestdale

What a treat! 11 Acre Farm hadn't been on my radar, but after a long winter indoors we were keen to enjoy some early sunshine & absolutely lucked out coming here. So much more than we expected & all of it good. How often can you genuinely that?

FOOD The hardest part was narrowing down our selection to 1x dish each! Most dishes had options to add a choice of extras (meat to veg) allowing mist dietary preferencs to be catered for. Eventually we decided on the Mushroom Medley & a Vegetable Bowl (consoling ourselves we'd be back to try the other dishes in the future).

What arrived was beautiful fresh food that almost looked too good to eat. A perfectly cooked poached egg complemented the mushroom & sourdough. While incredibly fresh edame proved a feast for the eyes & tastebuds on my friend's plate.

PARKING & FACILITIES There were plenty of roomy, well marked bays available at both the front & rear (rear has direct access to all the play areas, while front is closer to the cafe). ACROD (disability) & EV charging options were also available.

The landscaped yards included quirky decorations (e.g. an old car converted to a water feature running into a pretty creek & a teepee shelter), playgrounds that incorporate a thriving cubby house village (Cubby Lane) & plenty of animal petting opportunities. So pretty much something for everyone.

There would've been well over 100 people there & yet service was quick & it certainly didn't feel squished/ overcrowded in anyway. With so much space & so many varied seating options we revelled in being in the great outdoors again.

A really enjoyable experience. The only (very minor) criticism was that the signage on the gate was too discrete. Unfortunately uless you're intentionally going there, you probably wouldn't discover the place with the...

I recently had the absolute pleasure of running multiple sets of family photography mini sessions at 11 Acre Farm and wanted to take a moment to highlight just how wonderful it was to work with Erin, Row and their incredible farm folk.

As a photographer, the people behind a privately owned location make all the difference and these two were an absolute dream. From the very first conversation, Erin and Row were so were warm, responsive, and genuinely supportive of what I was trying to create. Things change on the farm on the daily and they were always willing to do whatever was needed to make sure the space was ready and everything was just where it needed to be for each and every day of minis... and there were many.

Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and their willingness to make small adjustments here and there helped bring my vision to life and the results speak for themselves.

From a business to business perspective it was an absolute pleasure to work with the team at the farm and if they'll have me back again next year, I definitely won’t be hesitating to do it all again. They need an option for more than 5 stars!

Sharing ​s​ome of the magic created...
