Fence Fixing, Sky Watching

There’s a certain poetry in farm life that doesn’t need to be translated. It’s found in mending fences at dawn, the call of a galah in the midday sun, or the smell of rain drying on saltbush. That kind of authenticity—tactile, uncurated, and grounded—is exactly what draws people in today.

Why People Crave Realness Over Resorts

Agritourism is growing fast across Australia. Research by the CSIRO estimates the sector could be worth up to $18.6 billion by 2030, with rural stays, tours, and food-focused experiences central to that rise.

In regional NSW alone, overnight visitors engaging with agritourism account for the state's largest regional tourism share—helping shift travel from cities to the country, one farm gate at a time.

Travel in touch with the land isn’t niche anymore—it’s mainstream.

Farm Days Don’t Need Directors

We’re not staged or spotless. There’s no soundtrack, no script. Each season writes its own story: early morning fog, the sharpness of freshly cut damper, sheep shifting shade, or the hush before rain.

That’s the kind of story people come for—and often come back for.

Real Work, Real Peace

There’s something quietly restorative about doing actual work. Whether it’s tightening a fence wire or sifting grain, physical rhythms can wash over you like simplicity itself. Hospitality that doesn’t feel like hospitality—just a shared moment under vast skies—is the kind that lingers.

What Stays With You

We’re not peddling a curated escape. What we offer is time in place — where stars are brighter because there’s no city hum, where routines are honest and slow, and where you remember how to rest without trying.

At Gilgooma, the real isn’t just real—it renews.
