Glenessi Highlands is an immersive farm experience in the heart of Orara Valley with a cosy wee cabin called The Cubby that sleeps up to four guests, where you can slow down for firelight evenings, valley views and river walks.

At the heart of the experience is our friendly Highland cattle with their iconic shaggy coats, sweeping horns, and gentle nature.
They offer a rare opportunity for up close, guided, hands-on connection where you can befriend the herd for an immersive deeply grounding experience, creating memories you’ll treasure forever

Set on the banks of the Orara River, Glenessi Highlands invites you to unwind with seasonal breezes, kayaking, and tranquil views of cattle grazing by the water. Now a working farm but once a 1919 creamery and stagecoach stop. It carries a rich history blending into slow, Highland ways and regenerative farm life.

Conveniently located a couple of hours south of Byron Bay and surrounded by pristine beaches and waterways – its only 15 -20 minutes off the Pacific Highway 40 minutes from Coffs Harbour Airport and only five minutes from the local village of Glenreagh, it’s an easy escape that feels a world away
