The whole environment of FAWLTY FARM is perfect for large groups of family/friends looking for a place with great facilities and unique accommodation. Situated on 300 acres of steeply undulating country with a mixture of open grassy paddocks and dense natural bush-land, FAWLTY FARM is a perfect country getaway where the only sounds you will hear is the abundant wildlife and the laughter of family and friends. Other activities in the surrounding area include bushwalking, mountain bike riding, fishing and horse riding. Please ask us for information on these activities.

PETS
Much as we love dogs, Fawlty Farm is not securely fenced and is abundant with wildlife and domestic animals. It is not suitable for pets and we ask that you leave them at home please.

PLEASE NOTE - Fawlty Farm is designed for large groups of 18 adults. Please do not make an enquiry for small groups as Fawlty Farm can only be booked in its entirety (we do not rent out parts of the property).

LOCATION
Taylor Bay is unique as access to Lake Eildon is only possible through private land. There are no public facilities in Taylor Bay making the area safe, secluded and exclusive. The small but delightful township of Eildon is only 7 minutes away and the Dam Wall has year round boat launching. Even at about 75 percent capacity, Lake Eildon is more than 3 times the size of Sydney Harbour.

YOUR HOSTS
John and Sally have been welcoming guests to FAWLTY FARM for more than 30 years. The property is 'Hosted Accommodation' which means we reside on the property but in a separate dwelling. We are here to help and assist but won't get in the way of your group enjoying everything FAWLTY FARM has to offer.

THE BIG TOP KITCHEN
Our extensive outdoor kitchen includes 9 different appliances to suit the most ambitious cooking team including:

- wood-fired, electric driven Roasting Spit that will take a lamb or suckling pig
- wood-fired ex-Army Baking Oven with huge stainless hot-plate which is ideal for breakfast cookups
- the latest gas Radiant Quartz Technology system BBQ
- gas Smoker
- gas fired Yabbie Pot
- wood fired Pizza Oven
- Beer Keg converted to a nifty rotisserie that is ideal for a rolled roast or two large chooks
- Paella Burner with a 600mm Pan
- half 44 gallon drum Charcoal Cooker which is great for all cuts of meat
- "flaming Charcoal" Texas offset grill/smoker (incredible BBQ, endless fun cooking anything)

BYO food and drinks. You will need to do your own cooking and cleaning with a view to leaving the premises as they were found i.e. clean please.
