    Definitely recommend Susan River - the staff were lovely, and the property is beautiful.

    The room was a little dated, with limited amenities. The room could've been a little bit cleaner - the fridge was quite old.

    Susan River Homestead if perfect for families - so much to do, in a beautiful and relaxing environment. We took our mountain bikes and rode around the homestead, and went horse riding in the afternoon. Just perfect. Breakfast was included in our room cost - simple, but good. The staff were very helpful and accommodating - it was lovely to be greeted each morning at breakfast by the Homestead owner!

    We took our 5 and 2.5 yo for a long weekend away and they loved it, especially the horse riding! Norm and all the staff are warm and friendly. Our kids are making us promise to return and so we shall!

    The rooms are very old and dark and dingy, it was just missing the small touches and the breakfast was not worth $27.50 at all, it was very basic and we could have gone out and got something way better in town for way cheaper. I wish we knew that we could have gotten the room without breakfast as we didn’t even get to choose what we wanted we were just brought out scrambled eggs and an old dried up sausage none of which any of my family likes, that was an absolute rip off.

    It was a beautiful outlook and the pool and trampoline were great

    Such a different holiday for my grandsons, they loved every minute. Feeding bread to cattle and horses a bonus. First time horse riding and now they want a horse! Loved the chance to practise their tennis and meet other children. Breakfast really great. Staff lovely.

    The rooms were dated but clean but the games room and pool were below par with respect to cleanliness.

    Breakfasts were hearty and the location excellent. Staff were friendly and the horse riding was fantastic.

    The facilities could do with an update, but are comfortable enough.

    There are lots of activities for the whole family, the horse riding is superb! The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. It’s a great place to relax while the kids play on the trampoline, tennis court, pool, bike track, cinema room, table tennis and of course the horse riding (For all abilities). Good location too, close to Hervey Bay for the beach and Whale Watching.

    Overall a nice concept, but needs a major refresh inside the rooms. The grounds were well kept.

    The idea of the place is fantastic, but the rooms are very tired and dated, and the car parking is far from the rooms unless you are in the first closest ones. We weren't... It is very rustic, and I imagine in it's day it was very charming and cosy, especially in winter with the fireplace etc. but fast forward to modern day, it is probably best suited for a young family with a camper who uses the grounds and facilities... plenty of space to roam, and the children seemed to be having a great time running, swimming, horseriding etc.

    The location was very peaceful, except that it was school holidays! A really lot of people around, which was to be expected. The lady who cooked the breakfast and the coffee man were the saving grace, they couldn't have been more pleasant and obliging to us...

    The shared kitchen could use a little bit of TLC, but is adequate and has everything a family would need.

    The customer service and personal attention to hospitality is so rare and welcoming!

    I felt the beds were dusty and caused me to have a itchy throat and eyes plus on the second night the toilet paper wasn’t replaced, then they switched the prices on us on arrival, even though the age of the kids we’re already discussed by email plus our breakfast was canceled

    Rooms are not sound proof, you can hear everything in the next room. We didn't even stay the last night. Too noisy.. Had to pay to play pool which the felt was all ripped and cues were broken. Tennis racquets were broken and old. Balls were bad. Table tennis was ok if you found a ball that wasn't broken. Had to fill the kettle up with a cup as it didn't fit under the tap. Bunk beds squeak every time you move. Meals were a bit pricey.

    The staff were very friendly. The bed was comfortable. Property was nice. Breakfast wasn't to bad.
