Life on the Farm at Warrawindi Escapes: Calving Season, New Beginnings & Our First Year
There’s something special about this time of year at Warrawindi Escapes. The farm is full of life, fresh energy, and plenty of exciting moments that our guests get to experience firsthand.
We’ve been busy with calving season, welcoming a number of new arrivals to the farm. One of the favourites already is our new poddy calf, CC, who has quickly become a much-loved member of the Warrawindi family. Guests staying with us have had the chance to meet CC up close, making for a truly memorable farm stay experience.
As calving continues, we’re also preparing for lambing season, which is set to begin later this month. It’s one of the most rewarding times on the farm, and a beautiful experience for visitors wanting to slow down and connect with authentic country life in South Australia’s Limestone Coast.
A Milestone Year for Warrawindi Escapes
This season also marks an exciting milestone — our first birthday since opening. Over the past year, we’ve welcomed guests from all around the world, including travellers from the UK, Singapore, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and across Australia.
We’ve been especially fortunate to host many people travelling between Melbourne and Adelaide, with Warrawindi Escapes perfectly positioned as a relaxing stop along the journey. Being located near Robe and within reach of the Great Ocean Road makes it an ideal place to unwind, recharge, and experience something different from a standard overnight stay.
Discover the Limestone Coast & Coonawarra
One of the standout highlights for our guests has been exploring the nearby Coonawarra wine region. Known for its world-class wineries, it’s become a favourite day trip for visitors looking to enjoy premium wine tasting while staying in the region.
Back on the farm, guests have embraced the opportunity to experience daily life at Warrawindi — from meeting the animals to enjoying the peaceful surroundings, open space, and slower pace that makes a farm stay so unique.
A Farm Stay Worth Experiencing
Whether you’re planning a road trip between Melbourne and Adelaide, looking for Limestone Coast accommodation, or simply wanting a peaceful rural escape, Warrawindi Escapes offers something truly special.
From newborn calves to upcoming lambs, and unforgettable guest experiences, this season is shaping up to be one of our best yet — and we look forward to welcoming many more visitors to share it with us.

Farming Through the Dry: How Warrawindi Tackles Tough Seasons
It’s no secret that this current dry period sweeping across South Australia and Victoria is proving to be one of the more challenging times for farmers. With feed sources becoming scarce and the cost of fodder skyrocketing, many producers are feeling the squeeze. But as anyone who’s been on the land knows, farming is never a straight road, it’s a winding track full of surprises, and sometimes, setbacks.
At Warrawindi, we like to think of farming as a bit of a game. It’s hard work, yes, but there’s also a sense of strategy, risk, and reward. One of our guiding principles has always been risk management. We don’t wait for things to go wrong before we act, we plan ahead so that when challenges come, we’re ready. This season is no exception.
We’re incredibly thankful to be in a position where we’ve had enough hay stored to get us through. Each year, we aim to stockpile between one and a half to two years' worth of hay. It’s a buffer we’ve built into our system because we know not every season is going to deliver. And when you’re dealing with the unpredictability of Australian weather, planning like this isn’t optional, it’s essential.
But it’s not just planning that’s helped us stay on top during this dry spell. Our regenerative farming practices have been a game changer. By focusing on soil health, ground cover, and strategic grazing, we’ve built a more resilient system that works with nature, not against it.
Looking after the tiny ecosystem beneath our feet—our bugs, microbes, and soil structure—means our paddocks are holding onto moisture better than ever. Even a small shower of rain is going a long way. With strong ground cover, our soil isn’t exposed to the harsh sun and drying winds, and that makes a big difference. It’s the kind of long-term thinking that pays off when conditions turn tough.
We’re still able to grow grass, and we’ve got enough dry feed and hay on hand to keep our stock healthy. That’s not luck—it’s the result of commitment to sustainable practices and never taking a good season for granted.
Farming might not be easy, but it’s rewarding. And through the ups and downs, we keep learning, growing, and adapting. That’s the beauty of it—and at Warrawindi, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
