Straußenhof Halmer

Our farm is situated in the beautiful Mostviertel, in the small village of Oberndorf an der Melk.
The market village lies at 302m above sea level and offers plenty of opportunities for excursions. You can reach us in just 20 minutes after taking the motorway exit at Ybbs or Loosdorf.
Since August 2017, we have been welcoming guests to our Straussenblick Holiday Apartment.
True to its name Straussenblick, meaning "view of the ostriches", the apartment features a direct view of these South African flightless birds in their pen.

Our farm has all kinds of animals who enjoy being petted. These include chickens, ducks, rabbits, cats, cows, calves, and our goats Mekki, Maxi und Toni.
We invite our guests to join us on a tour of the ostrich pen so that they can learn more about the fastest animal on our farm. The ostriches too enjoy being fed and petted just a little.

We give our guests a glimpse into our creative room, packed with rural handicrafts made from ostrich eggs, as well as into our gourmet corner, featuring refined products from the inside of the ostrich eggs, such as ostrich egg liqueur, liqueur chocolate, and pasta.
Inside our craft room, guests have the chance to make an ostrich egg necklace.
For our younger guests, the lawn offers plenty of space to run around and play all kinds of games such as farmer's golf, boot throwing, an egg race, a sack race, and much more.
In our meadows and farmland, we help our guests to identify a range of grain, grass, and flower species.
The programme also features writing using an ostrich feather and assessing eggs.

Our terrace with its view of the ostrich pen invites you to bring the evening to a close in comfort.

The many excursions destinations in the area will ensure you enjoy an unforgettable and eventful holiday.
