Family Fun, Tweed Hinterland Style
Tucked into the lush Tweed hinterland, Hosanna Farmstay is where adventure, nature, and old-fashioned fun come together. Celebrating 20 years as a locally owned family business, it has grown from a humble farm into one of the region’s standout destinations. With the Northern Rivers Rail Trail running right through the property, Hosanna is perfectly placed for families, friends, and rail-trail explorers seeking a wholesome, joy-filled escape.
As the only accommodation provider on the rail trail, Hosanna is a favourite stop for day visitors, overnight guests, and trail adventurers. Kids can meet farm animals, collect stamps in their adventure passports, and toast marshmallows around the campfire, while adults soak up the peace, fresh air and relaxed country vibe.
Visitors can stay for the day or overnight in campgrounds, rustic huts, cosy cabins, or the spacious Homestead. There’s something for quick weekend getaways or long summer holidays.
Activities abound, all included for day and overnight guests: animal feeding, dam swims, jetty jumping, a 25-metre waterslide, kayaking, treasure hunts, playgrounds, bushwalks, and creek adventures. At dusk, the rail trail tunnel lights up with a magical glow worm colony, and Saturday nights bring live acoustic music and freshly baked pizza.
Meet the Bunnies lets visitors cuddle, pat, and feed the resident bunnies while learning about their care. The Walking Farm Tour offers hands-on fun with alpacas, pigs, and egg collecting, plus cuddles with the newest arrivals. Bookings are essential for both experiences.
The on-site shop and café feature the region’s best local produce—including farm-fresh eggs—with barista coffee, sandwiches and sweet treats ready to refuel visitors before they head back to the trail.
With adventure, relaxation, and genuine country hospitality all in one place, Hosanna Farmstay is a must-visit for families, friends, and travellers discovering the Tweed. Whether arriving by car or rolling in along the rail trail, guests are guaranteed a joy-filled summer experience to remember.
