Our family has lived at Merigan for more than 50 years. Merigan has been a farm since the 1840’s and we still run sheep and cattle in a regenerative manner, to this day. It’s a pleasure to be able to share the countryside and farm with guests. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about them.

WELCOME TO MERIGAN FARM Merigan is a 1400 Hectare (3500 acre) working sheep and cattle farm at Mount Fairy NSW Australia. Since 1970 we have been producing High Quality Merino Wool from our 10,000 sheep. The farm is run in a regenerative manner to ensure sustainability and biodiversity in the soil, water and all that grows upon it. ​We also offer Farm Stay Accommodation in shepherd cabins (Hayshed and Cherry Tree) which have allowed hundreds of people - young and old - to get away from the cities and take in our country lifestyle. ​ Merigan is the name of the local Parish and on Ngunawal country. It has been recounted by indigenous locals that Merigan means Dingo. The story being that Merigan fought the Bunyip and in their tussle created the rivers and creeks across the range. Many sites and artefacts have been discovered in the area over the years. ​ It’s a southern Australian Mediterranean environment with distinct seasons – it can reach over 42 degrees and in the winter its been known often to snow. Sometimes in summer the easterly sea breezes reaches over the range and the smell of sea salt cools the hot evening.

Merigan offers a range of activities, to relax and settle into rural life. One of the best ways to get the feel of Merigan is just taking a walk around the property. We have 3500 acres of space to meander around and a great spots for picnics, drinks and photographs. Feel free to use Tennis Court, balls and racquets under one of the verandas at the front of the house and the bocce court at the bottom of the garden. But Merigan is surrounded by a bunch of towns and villages too. BUNGENDORE ~ 18km is a thriving little country town with Galleries, gift-shops, cafés, bakeries, coffee shops and bars. The Top Pub (The Royal ) is the more casual of the hotels. The Bottom Pub (The Lake George) has a fancy restaurant attached to the more informal pub area. BRAIDWOOD is a funky Heritage town about 25km East of Bungendore and well worth a visit. It has outstanding shops and eateries and 2 pubs. The Braidwood Hotel being my favourite. TARAGO ~ 14km. The Loaded Dog do meals but mainly on weekends (Pizzas during the week). Best to check as it varies.
