Chestnut Brae Farm

Chestnut Brae Farm is the most beautiful farm in the south west. It comprises 70 acres with 20 acres of sweet chestnuts and daffodils. The farm is in Carlotta just 10 minutes drive south of Nannup and 55 minutes inland from Margaret River. The region is a beautiful food and wine production area and Nannup is the centre of the south west, so it is a perfect spot to explore the entire south west region. We have sheep, goats, alpaca, chickens, turkeys, guinea fowl, and pigs.

Backpacker accommodation is separate from the family home. We have a caravan that is suitable for couples it has no power, but toilets are nearby.

The farm is run by Linda and John Stanley and we love to have volunteers from around the world stay with us and share their stories of their home town. As our own family have all grown up and left home, we treat volunteers as though they are part of our family. We have a special room for volunteers and volunteers have their own bathroom and toilet. Volunteers eat meals with us and if you would like to share in the cooking sometimes we are happy with that. We do recommend that volunteers get a Telstra simcard before travelling to regional areas as telephone reception can be otherwise limited.

Backpackers should consider bringing the following items to the farm:
- working boots,
-long sleeved shirts,
-a hat (with a preference for broad brimmed for sun safety)

- a head torch or small torch for night times
Chestnut Brae provide protective clothing if and when required.

Please note, in winter it does get quite cold and wet, we recommend anyone visiting from May- August to keep this in mind when packing.
