Our website provides information about Cullen's Sheep Farm, available experiences, accommodation and ways to contact us.

Any applicable payment requirements, deposits or other charges should be communicated by the farm before the booking is finalised.

Visitors should confirm the final price and payment arrangements directly with the farm.

6. Cancellations and changes

If you need to cancel or change a confirmed visit, please contact the farm as soon as possible.

Any cancellation terms, refund eligibility or rescheduling arrangements should be confirmed as part of the individual booking.

Different arrangements may apply to private experiences, group visits and accommodation.

Nothing in these terms affects any statutory consumer rights that may apply.
