Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

The questions that come up most often. If yours isn't here, drop us a line.

The cabin
Is the cabin pet-friendly?

Yes. Trained pets are welcome, no extra fee. There are no fenced areas on the property, so good recall helps.

How many people does the cabin sleep?

Two. The cabin is built for one couple. We can't accommodate extra guests or children.

Is there a minimum stay?

Two nights minimum, year round.

What are the rates?

From $150 per night, two-night minimum ($300 minimum stay). Always less than Airbnb after fees when you book direct. Email scarf.margeaux@gmail.com with your dates and we'll confirm.

Is the cabin off-grid?

Yes. Solar-powered, composting toilet, hot water, basic kitchen, outdoor BBQ. No wi-fi by design.

Is there wi-fi at the cabin?

No, by design. Mobile reception is patchy. Telstra works best.

Can I bring children to the cabin?

The cabin is built for two adults. We don't accommodate children — the property has open paddocks, working livestock, and no fencing around the cabin.

How do I get to the cabin?

Drive. There's no public transport to Rosebank. From the south, Bangalow Rd through Clunes then up into the hinterland. From the coast, the run through Federal and The Channon is the prettier route. Detailed directions go out with the booking confirmation.

Visiting the farm
Where is Cheyenne Farm?

Mackie Rd, Rosebank, in the Byron Bay hinterland. About 40 minutes from Byron Bay township and ten minutes from Clunes.

Can I visit the farm without staying in the cabin?

By arrangement. The farm gate is open to visitors but we don't take walk-ins. Email us first so we can be at the shed when you arrive.

Can I host an event or wedding on the farm?

Not currently set up for events. If that changes we'll add a Weddings page.

Lemonade Fruit, Limoncello, juice
When is the Lemonade Fruit harvest?

May. Across three to four weeks. The fruit is sold at the farm gate during this time. Bulk orders by arrangement.

What's the difference between Lemonade Fruit and a lemon?

It's a hybrid — the sweetness of a mandarin with the punch of a lemon. You can eat it on its own off the tree, but it works in any recipe that calls for lemon.

Do you ship Limoncello?

Yes, within NSW. Outside NSW depends on freight rates — email us with a postcode and quantity. Liquor licence restrictions apply.

Where can I buy your Lemonade Fruit juice?

Pre-order by the litre, frozen, direct from the farm. Email scarf.margeaux@gmail.com. We don't sell through retail.

When is the Limoncello bottled?

August each year. Small numbered batches. Read the full process here.

Livestock
What are Mashona cattle?

A Zimbabwean breed bred for hot, tick-prone country. Naturally heat-, tick-, and parasite-resistant. Docile temperament, easy calving, premium marbling. Excellent hybrid vigour for commercial cross-breeding programs.

Do you sell bulls?

Yes. We breed black Mashona bulls for cross-breeding into commercial herds across Northern NSW. Stock availability changes — email scarf.margeaux@gmail.com with what you're after and we'll send current stock and pricing.

Do you sell beef?

Not currently. We focus on breeding stock, not finished beef. If that changes we'll post on the Journal.

Why Dorper sheep?

Hardy, low-maintenance, and well-suited to the hinterland country. They graze alongside the Mashona herd as part of our mixed grazing approach.
