Staying here is like having your own private wildlife park to enjoy for the duration of your stay with wandering peacocks, chickens, ducks, geese, the occasional swan, pheasant and even resident kingfisher.
Nature is all around you and it is completely idyllic.

There is so much relaxed enjoyment perfect for kicking back and relaxing with your friends and we specialise in providing the perfect environment for hen parties and birthday parties.
Think reclining in a hammock, enjoying a swinging seat, boating on the lake (you’re also welcome to fish on the lake if you have your own rod), having a game of giant chess on the Spa deck, enjoying a picnic in the treehouse, roasting marshmallows around a firebowl or having a game of ping pong.
There are also numerous glorious footpath walks around the area if you wanted to venture out and explore too.

For larger gatherings over 16 guests there are additional rooms and sofa beds to accommodate up to 25 guests, and during the summer to 45 in bell tents, with the additional guests above the 16 the listing accommodates charged at £100 per person per night.
Connecting the two main outdoor spaces is a large, entertainment courtyard with outdoor dining for up to 22 people, a bbq, pizza oven, outdoor kitchen, seating area with firebowl and ping pong table.
This area makes for a fantastic gathering area and is lit beautifully at night.

The Spa deck boasts a 10 person Hot Tub and 6 person Sauna which also doubles up as a scenic viewing spot which you have sole access to during your stay.

There is super-fast Satellite broadband for those guests who need to keep connected.

If your group would like to enjoy the space earlier than the 4pm check-in and stay longer than 11am check-out, then 1.5 day stays are possible to arrange between October and the end of March or mid-week in the summer with check-in at 12pm and check-out at 2pm at a cost of 50% of the full day price to check-in at 9am.
The space around Wonderland takes you away from the city and into the idyllic countryside, even though Henfield is a 20 minute walk away. The gardens are simply stunning and perfect for quiet enjoyment… and the newly installed entertaining courtyard has pizza oven area (which we can prepare for you for a certain time that you will be using it for £30 per session), a large dining table to seat 22, seating area and outdoor lighting… ideal for entertaining!

As is the unique party tent with bar, dance floor, music system, lounge seating and table football. This area is the cherry on top of the Wonderland cake and has to be seen to be believed!

And when it’s time to rest the accommodation is just as unique. The Sussex Barn (4 bedrooms, sleeps 7) and colourful Wendy House (not so tiny! sleeps 4-6) The unique Shepherds Hut has it’s own bathroom Hut and outdoor area and our Art-deco Airstream which sleeps 2 – 4 people has been featured on TV as being an ‘ultimate airstream’ conversion.We have connections to some excellent private chef’s and local caterers as well as massage, pamper and well-being services to relax and enjoy during your visit.

Regretably we do not host stags parties/ batchelor parties. And if a booking is made for a ‘birthday party’ and this turns out to be an undercover stag party, you will be asked to leave without a refund.
The land:
Wonderland is accessed by a long private drive (be aware it’s a farm track, so the surface is bumpy), with 360 degree views to open farmland and across the South Downs. With only farm animals and birds to see for miles, experience a rare treat… absolute peace and quiet!

The lake is at the heart of the land and hosts several types of duck, moor-hen, geese, cormorants, kingfishers and even the odd swan – it’s a haven for nature spotting from the deck and the surrounding wetlands are an ornithologist’s paradise!
Also on the Farmstead are peacocks, chickens, ducks and our very friendly grey cat called Bramble, who is likely to come and make friends with you!

There’s something for everyone… spend an afternoon on the lake, swimming or canoeing or have a go at making it over the stepping stones and seesaw, hang out on the mini island or enjoy the Spa deck with Sauna, Hot Tub or pontoon seating area.
For those who enjoy fishing, feel free to bring your rod and nets, as the lake has a healthy population of fish (you just need to put them back afterwards).
The double-decker tree-house makes a perfect viewing platform over the water and across the South Downs.
And if you are interested in activities we can put you in touch with all sorts of entertainment, including:
– Pampering services (all sorts of massages, yoga sessions etc)
– Escape Room experience (The Hunt for the Smoking Caterpillar… very Wonderland-esque and comes highly recommended!)
– High tea delivery service
– Body Positive Boudoir shoot
– Mask/ head-dress making

The village of Henfield is a 15 minute walk away, and South Downs Way is an ideal cycle track (and only a 5 minute walk away), taking you towards Partridge Green in one direction, or Steyning in the other and onto Brighton if you fancy a hike.

There are four main pubs within walking distance. The Old Railway – which has a beer garden and food is a 5 minute walk. The White Hart (old fashioned, local, beamed pub on the high street full of locals!), The George (Sports bar style) and The Plough (very good food but decor not amazing).

You are welcome to walk around the scenic fields/ garden, use the tree-house and lake.
Boats and swimming in the lake is permitted at your own risk.
Barns, yard and other areas outside the main lawn, lake and courtyard are working areas and for safety, out of bounds.

Day guests by prior agreement.

If your group would like to enjoy the space earlier than the 4pm check-in and stay longer than 11am check-out then 1.5 day stays are possible to arrange between October and April or mid-week in the summer.
