We are exciting to announce we are partnering with a new Hunter Valley startup Dulili Adventures (or Dulili.co) in bringing together small groups of people for off-grid glamping and local experiences or ‘adventures’. These experiences are not your every day tour they are usually highly unique and otherwise unavailable.
Each experience is highly personalised based on a discussion with the group initiator.
Little Valley Farm is excited to host the people in our accommodation including tents for small groups which you can’t otherwise book in other channels. The train and Hut are also available as you will have the run of the farm. We help feed people including BBQ’s and the always enjoyable wood-fired pizza.
Dulili.co recently took a corporate group to a local animal farm charity to help build them a new animal shelter! That was hard work but really fun, but it can be anything from 4WD touring to walking the Great North Walk or going for a Gravel ride to the Watagans.
Get in touch with them, or talk to us about ideas: 0409 988 457

Come join us on the Hunter Valleys most beautiful Alpaca Farm.
As a breeding farm it is only open a few times a year and this November will be the first to welcome children of all ages.
Little Valley Farm is a AAA registered breeder of Huacaya and Suri Alpacas with between 20 and 40 Alpaca on the farm at any one time.
Set on 50 lush acres (in the good times!) in a natural amphitheatre surrounded by an abundance of native birds and animals. Read more about our exclusive open day on our Facebook page and purchase your tickets here.
We plant trees all the time, for food, for the garden and to replenish our future timber needs on our 50 acre farm. But we also want to plant a tree for every visitor stay, as a way to remember all the great people who have stayed with us and also to ensure that every single visit to our off-grid farm is carbon neutral. The tree we plant we will sequest approx 10x more carbon over Its lifetime than the average 2-day visit & and overnight stay. Help us plant the tree and we’ll be proudly putting your name on it too.
Using Carbon Neutral Aust estimate of 15 trees to sequestered 1 ton per year. Carbon Footprint calculator for an average two day stay travel from Sydney in an average petrol car. There is of course high variability and extensive assumptions made in this rough figure.
