Here at Settlers Rest, we like to think that Introducing children to animals creates a life long love that is so important, clearly our gorgeous granddaughter has!!!! Not surprising when she is surrounded by animals every day here at the farm, horses, sheep, goats, cow, alpacas , chickens. This beautiful picture however was taken Swan Valley Station, a short 5 minute drive from the farm, while enjoying a coffee. If you are looking for a Farmstay close to Perth, we have a vacancy on 3 and 4 September due to a cancellation#settlersrestfarmstay #swanvalleystation #funwithanimals#childrenandanimals #loveofanimals #ponylove

Amazing natural vista tonight as the large bright moon reflects over the swollen flooded river, impossible for my phone camera to capture how magical this was with the added bonus of kookaburras singing in the trees#settlersrestfarmstay#moonrising#floodwater #swanriver

Just as well we moved our horses to higher ground yesterday, this is what we woke up to this morning!!! All six stables are full and others are on wherever we can. Thanks to those that have helped, it is truly appreciated. Lots of work around here before we get back to normal. A interesting experience for our guests at the moment, nature in full force#settlersrestfarmstay #horsepaddocksunderwater#destinationperth #soperth #swanvalley #amazing#swanriver#natureexperiences

Hello from Sandgroper! Thanks so much for coming to spend the school holidays with me at the farm. Luckily the lockdown lifted just in time! The wettest July school holidays ever but it didn’t stop our guests from having an awesome time. Enjoy the school term kids! #settlersrestfarmstay #swanvalley#destinationperth#soperth#schoolholidayfun#funonthefarm #alpaca

At last the rain appears to be easing. We now have a lake running through the middle of the property, certainly need the wellie boots to wade through this to get to the fast flowing river #settlersrestfarmstay #swanvalley #destinationperth #winterintheswanvalley #rainraingoaway☔️ #swanriver

And the river keeps getting hirer! We have to protect our animals and keep a very close watch, a fair bit if the farm is covered by water but it’s not flooded at present#settlersrestfarmstay

Love this photo of children making fun out of the simple things mother nature provides, puddles and more puddles #settlersrestfarmstaywinterintheswanvalley#rainandmorerain #childrenmakingfunofmothers #gumbootsandpuddles#settlersrestfarmstay #destinationperth #soperth

What more could you want on a cool wet winters day on a farm right here in the Swan Valley! Grab the marshmallows and enjoy the open fire with the kids, perhaps an experience new to them. Photo credit to a recent family, thanks for the pic of a beautiful fire in the original 100 year plus cute place #settlersrestfarmstay #marshmellows #destinationearth #soperth #familyfarmstay #winterescapes #winteronthefarm

A different start to the July school holidays, the wettest we’ve seen in a long time BUT the advantages of seeing beautiful natural rainbows! Kids playing in the mud and splashing in the puddles, gumboots essential! Get wet, get out there, a new experience for your kids!Log open fire at night, and there you have it, a winter experience at the farm!#settlersrestfarmstay #swanvalley #soperth#destinationearth #winterintheswanvalley #kidshavingfun #getoutthere #winteratthefarm #openfireplace

That’s how it’s done as times here on the farm. Nothing stops Britt from working the pony, Clarke is coming up for a workout and granddaughter Paityn is well and truly introduced to horsey life and she loves it!!! I’m astounded at what Britt achieves having such a young child, in her usual fashion she finds away! Then they went to lunge him, Paityn was fully entertained!! #settlersrestfarmstay #ponyfun #amazingmum #beautufulgranddaughter #mumandbub

Make sure you take the time to venture outside, it’s chilly, a still night, so quiet and so very unique. Animals are all fed and resting . The cottage is probably warm with the open fire ambiance but don’t forget about the wonders of the world, right outside the door!#settlersrestfarmstay #swanvalley#destinationperth #soperth #farmstay#nature #lovetheoutdoors

It’s a cold morning, but it’s beautiful here at the farm! It’s so worth getting out of bed and witness the day as it u folds.
