The space
Aintree is a wonderfully relaxing place that has space for everyone to enjoy. Whether you are attending a wedding or event in the Swan Valley, escaping for a break with your family and friends - Aintree is the ideal place for everyone.

We welcome guests from all backgrounds and love being able to share our slice of the Swan Valley with you.

Please note - whilst we have animals on the farm at varying times, Aintree is a working farm, not a farm stay as such. You are welcome to visit the sheep ( if on the property), chickens and kangaroos. We welcome all enquiries and look forward to assisting you with your stay.

Lives in Perth, Australia
I'm a Primary Teacher by profession but for the past 9 years have stayed home raising my 3 gorgeous little boys. We run a property of our own on Airbnb so have complete respect and understanding in regards to staying in other people's houses. We use Airbnb when travelling and have always had excellent experiences and love getting to meet new people. The best part is hosts sharing their local knowledge and telling us about the hidden secrets in their area. Happy travelling and hosting!
