At GumnutCo, there’s a certain kind of magic that lives in the paddock — and it’s about knee-high, incredibly fluffy, and always up for a cuddle. Meet our much-loved Babydoll sheep: the gentle-hearted boys who bring smiles to everyone they meet.
Whether you’re staying at Gumnut Cottage Gippsland or Banjos Cabin Gippsland, chances are you’ll get the opportunity to say hello to our woolly companions. With their teddy bear faces, sweet nature, and calm personalities, our Babydolls aren’t just farm animals — they’re part of the family.
These little sheep are known for their docile temperament, petite size, and irresistible charm. We’ve hand-raised our boys with love, and they’ve become a treasured part of our Greenstead lifestyle. Guests often tell us that meeting them is one of the unexpected highlights of their stay — especially those craving a break from busy city life.
💚 Why we love our Babydolls:
– Their calm, friendly personalities
– Their small size makes them less intimidating for kids
– They’re quiet, gentle, and always happy to nibble from your hand
– They provide natural lawn care and lots of woolly entertainment
Our guests enjoy feeding them treats (approved by us, of course), learning their names, and even just watching them meander through the paddock in the afternoon light. It’s peaceful, grounding, and often the start of deeper conversations about life, simplicity, and reconnecting with nature.
🐑 GumnutCo is about more than just a stay — it’s a slower, softer way of living. Our animals aren’t there for production; they’re here for connection. When you book a stay at one of our eco-retreats in Seaton, you’re stepping into a space where animals are companions, not commodities — and every encounter is rooted in kindness.
We’ve designed both Gumnut Cottage and Banjos Cabin to reflect this ethos. Think fire pits, starry skies, raised veggie beds, and yes — a paddock with Babydoll sheep who might just steal your heart.
