The Wellness Farm Broke

The Wellness Farm Broke is a boutique farm stay and wellness retreat set across 37 acres of countryside in Broke, in the Hunter Valley. With views towards the Brokenback Mountain Range, the property is designed for guests who want to step away from busy routines and spend time in a quieter natural setting. It is around an hour from Newcastle and two hours from Sydney, while still being close to the vineyards, restaurants and produce experiences of the Hunter Valley.

Accommodation is spread across three types of stays, with space for up to 28 guests. The six twin-share villas each include a king bed, kitchenette, lounge, full bathroom and private patio with a fire pit, with two villas also offering bathtubs. The Hamptons Cottage has three bedrooms, including a bunk room, while The Serenity Homestead provides five bedrooms, shared bathrooms, laundry facilities and a fully equipped kitchen. The homestead also has its own cedar hot tub and fire pit, making the property suitable for couples, families, small groups and larger retreat bookings.

Wellness facilities are central to the experience. Guests can use the panoramic Red Cedar barrel sauna, outdoor cedar hot tubs and 14-metre saltwater pool, while The Lakehouse is a light-filled studio for yoga, meditation, breathwork and Pilates. Retreat bookings have access to additional facilities including a float tank, gym, ice baths and reformer Pilates beds; these are not included with every stay, so the inclusions should be checked when booking. The property also offers space to walk among gum trees and open countryside, with Highland cows, chickens, neighbouring horses and kangaroos adding to the farm setting.

The farm was created around movement, self-care and time spent reconnecting with nature. It can work as a personal escape or a base for a wellness retreat, with purpose-built spaces for professionals hosting group programs. Reviews highlight the peaceful surrounds, comfortable accommodation and attentive hosting, including help from Lydia with guest arrangements. Couples can use the setting for a more private break, while groups can gather in the larger homes and shared wellness spaces. For visitors exploring the area, nearby attractions named by the property include Margan Wines & Restaurant, Whispering Brook Cellar Door & Winery, Talits Estate Vineyard, Wollemi National Park, local markets, olive farms and gourmet producers.
