Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

An extremely welcoming and unique experience
I have been travelling to the Norris Farm for over 7 years. The atmosphere on the farm is so very warm and welcoming. Mary and Bill, and very often other members of their family and friends, are the friendliest people you could ever meet. They make you feel like you belong on the farm and are part of their extended family too. The activities that we get to see and participate in are so interesting, like stepping straight back into the past and experiencing real farming life from past centuries and up to the present. Sitting around a campfire eating traditional Australian food and joining in to sing great Aussie balads is so much fun, none of the friends I have taken has ever been dissappointed. I highly recommend the experience of visiting Mary and Bill on Inglevale to anyone, and in fact I have already booked 2 trips later this year for friends with overseas visitors. I know that they well love it!

Amazing authentic Australian experience
Norris farm is a truly unique experience, a step back into our pioneering days. Bill and Mary pack in so much for you to enjoy. I have never been so close to seeing a sheep shorn: I'll never forget the look of surprise on that sheeps face to be minus his winter woollies! Watch Bill rounding up the sheep, ploughing the field with the amazing draft horses, a trip in the horse drawn buggy, Mary's awaesome Aussie cooking, and then Bill playing guitar around the campfire. Truly you will sleep like a baby and then awake to the sounds of the Aussie bush. I can't wait to go back again in September.
