Experience the Joy of Miniature Highland Cows

Fairweather Farm is nestled at the base of the famous Tamborine Mountain — a rural bush haven on 6 acres with a Tudor cottage homestead, rustic barn and serene paddocks.

A visit to Fairweather Farm is not just a farm tour — it’s an invitation to witness passion, care, and scientific excellence in action.
