Has a historical homestead built in early 1900,s after original homestead from mid 1800,s burnt down. Made it from bricks sourced from property, so it was fireproof this time. Has a cafe and a resteraunt also gift shop for souvineers. Is a little pricy as is targeted at your bus trade. Not sure of food quality as didn't eat there. They have tours if property and camels kangaroos etc for people to get up close to and feed etc.
Nice farm atmosphere to interact with farm and native animals. Recommended to do a guided farm tour.
Cute little farm and the tour guide was great, answered all questions and just a humbled bloke. We were lucky enough to have a private tour.
wonderful lunch, and tours. got a lot of animals. you will enjoy!
What an amazing experience! This place is deceiving from the road side but opens up quite large in the back with acres and more acres of animals. You will have such a great hands on experience here, you have got to try the tour to get the full effect of the physical activities. You will jump on a wagon driven by a well educated and experienced informative staff member who is ready to answer all your questions and explain all information needed. We had Jess and she was absolutely terrific. We took our four kids and it definitely blow their minds, though the experience is for all agers i even seen some senior's enjoying themselves. My kids loved the first stop especially because you could actually feed the little calves milk. I think everyone was loving that. So much to see and do here with Jess our tour guide explaining everything and even demonstrating. She actually sheared a whole sheep right in front of us , and now we have a much better understanding of wool and products made by the oils and so on. You will be absolutely amazed, the well trained dogs rounding up the sheep in big groups and making them travel from 200 - 300 metres away to right in front of us. Whip cracking! Here they will teach you how to crack a whip and you can try it out yourself. I got it in the end its not easy but very fun. So many birds and wildlife animals to see alpacas to wombats to camel's! Who would of thought you would see a camel out in the open and you can feed all of them. More animals include buffalo's, emus, donkey's, ponies, farm working dogs, kangaroos, koalas, ducks , parrots , peacocks so many , just too many to list , im only trying to give you an idea. All in all you will walk out happy and satisfied that you have crossed off some new experiences in your life. Keep up the great work guys. And a big thank you from the Martin family.
Very relaxed and also fun place to go! Had a blast with my family and the farm tour is Def worth doing!
good place for a family day, lots of animals for kids to play with
Really sweet place, gives you the chance to feed kangaroos & wombats amongst others. Also has koalas, camels, alpacas, cows, guinea pigs and other animals. Animals appear to be well looked after and the staff were friendly and welcoming.
