If additional cleaning is required after your stay, a $150.00 cleaning fee will be charged to your booking.

• Check-out: By 10:00 a.m.

Our fully-equipped kitchen includes a full-size fridge/freezer, espresso coffee machine, kettle, toaster, freestanding induction cooker with a wide electric oven, and a sandwich press. For those who love to bake, we have a hand mixer, measuring cups, mixing bowls, and baking trays ready for you. For outdoor cooking, there’s a 4-burner barbecue with a hood for roasting.

There is a fire pit outside and a cosy pot belly fireplace inside the living room. Hardwood, matches and firestarters are provided to help you get your fires going. If you would like extra firewood during your stay, you can purchase more at the Haigslea BP.

We stock an essentials pantry with ground coffee beans, black and herbal teas, salt, pepper, olive oil, and milk. Please pop into a shop for your supplies. Guests often find it hard to leave once they arrive, so swing past the local SPAR in Marburg on your way.

Our beautifully restored bathrooms have all your modern comforts, including a clawfoot bath, shower, vanity, toilet, bath towels, bath robes, and Alive Body wash, shampoo, and conditioner.

In the living room, you’ll find a record player that you can connect to via Bluetooth to enjoy your favourite music. You’ll also find a games basket, magazines and books, and a chess table for a little extra fun during your stay.

Hidden in the living room is a combo Samsung washer/dryer, along with an iron, ironing board, and a handheld steamer if you need them.

For your comfort, there are air conditioners in every room.

• You will have Linning’s House and the surrounding area all to yourself, with private access and contactless self check-in and check-out.

• We live on the property in the farmhouse further down the driveway. We like to give you privacy, but you might see us out and about working with the animals. Feel free to say hello if you like — we are always happy to chat — but we are also happy to give you space.

• Most days at Twigley Farm are peaceful, with only the sound of birds and the breeze through the grass. However, you may sometimes hear cars, farm work (like slashing), or animals.

• Please note: there is a set of stairs with a handrail at the entrance to Linning’s House. We may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues.

• We are located on a working farm and have horses, geese, goats, and dogs on the property. You may also see local wildlife. Please consider if this will be an issue for you before booking.

• It is very important that guests have travel insurance. Very occasionally, our road may close temporarily due to flooding. Guests are responsible for their own insurance. We are not able to issue refunds or extend bookings if your plans change because of bad weather.

• Twigley Farm can be accessed by rideshare services. The nearest train station is Walloon, about a 5-minute drive away.

Our local town of Marburg is just a few minutes' drive away. While there, visit The Soul Nook Collective, Scotland Yard Antiques, and Marburg Pub.

For another classic country pub experience, head a little further to Glamorganvale for the Bottletree Hotel.

For dinner in Ipswich, we recommend Monte Lane, The Commonwealth Hotel, or Bakehouse Steakhouse.
