Other things to note
Figbrook Farm is a small working fig orchard and retreat surrounded by vineyards and native mallee trees. The farm is a short stroll from the wetlands of the Murray River, where pelicans and spoonbills glide through the shallows.
The cottage sits gently in the centre of the property, surrounded by permaculture gardens and native plantings that attract birds and pollinators throughout the year. Guests often describe it as a place that feels timeless, where contemporary comfort meets the natural rhythm of farm life.
Features include reverse-cycle air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, a coffee machine, washing facilities, and starter provisions for a comfortable, self-contained stay.
Elsewhere on the property, you’ll find Figbrook Farm’s restored 1915 train carriage accommodation, which offers another unique way to experience the history and charm of the farm.
Figbrook Farm is a working property, and from time to time you may hear a passing tractor, harvester, or farm machinery in the distance — it’s all part of the authentic Riverland experience and the rhythm of life on the land.
We provide professionally laundered linen, fresh farm eggs, and starter provisions such as coffee, tea, milk, and cooking basics. Guests are welcome to enjoy herbs and seasonal produce from the gardens when available.
House rules: no pets, no parties or events, and no smoking indoors. Only booked guests are permitted on the property unless agreed with the hosts in advance.
