“Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.”
An obscure word, “quaintrelle” describes a woman who emphasises a life of passion through personal style, leisurely pastimes, and charm. We chose this name because it captures the essence of our desire to live well and enjoy it.

Our approach encompasses a life of passion and leisure for everyone. We should do what we enjoy – the odd afternoon nap included!
We hope that everyone who stays at our farm can feel relaxed and refreshed.
Our goal at Quaintrelle Farm is to facilitate a loving, relaxed environment for people to stay. As a result of the covid-19 shutdown and the local housing crisis, we’ve changed our business model to support medium and long-term stays. This has allowed us to meet so many wonderful people!
We’re so grateful for the opportunity to live and work here. It continues to be an incredible learning experience and we’re enjoying the challenge.
Spanning over 17 acres, Quaintrelle Farm includes vegetable and herb gardens, orchids, a small herd of cattle, a friendly flock of chickens, a swimming pool (exclusive to tenants), barbeque facilities, access to Goolmangar Creek, 17 studio-style units, 6 fully self-contained one-bedroom units in addition to a manager’s residence.
