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.

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.

Brydie Australia

Gururaj Australia

Breakfast was amazing, as well as a the pre booked dinner. Very yummi and a generous portion of food. The apple pie was out of this world, so perfect with ice cream and custard. The property location is awesome, with beautiful landscapes around. There's a good swimming pool, tennis courts, barbecue area, and very well treated horses. I highly recommend the horse riding up to the river. The staff was also great. Norman and his family are super friendly and they made us feel like home.
