PAID ACTIVITY OPTIONS

Depending on your interest and time we would love to share some of the gems of our property with you. These activities are guided.

Animal & Mini Farm Tour

The relaxed walking tour will be led by Kylie, who will introduce you to our range of friendly animals, guide you through the original farm homestead (now a farm museum and Bunkhouse) and share with you what it means to be a fourth-generation farmer. Hand feed the ponies and colored sheep, collect the eggs from the chickens, meet our dogs and learn some fun facts about farming along the way. Be sure to bring your camera for some great photos with the animals and the beautiful scenery. Kids are welcome to play on our playground after the tour has finished.

Price: $35 per adult, $25 per child (1 – 12 years)

Approximate guided tour time: 30 minutes

Food Foraging & Garden tour

Our family has been growing food since 1901. Over the past 15 years, we have created huge gardens which now include large vegetable and herb gardens, an orchard, a huge strawberry patch, blueberries, and a greenhouse. We love growing spray-free food and take great care and pride in doing so. We would love to share this passion with you by taking a tour of the gardens and filling your basket with goodies to enjoy back at your accommodation.

Pony Experience

Horses and ponies are in our blood and we would love to share our knowledge, scenery, and gorgeous ponies with you. Our two miniature ponies “Dude” and “Beau” are very quiet and have fans from all over the world. Depending on your interest /age/stage/weight, you will experience a special adventure either riding the ponies or leading the ponies on foot. You will be guided along with way with expert help and be sure to see lots of gorgeous scenery.  Feed the ponies animal lollies, brush them, and have your photo taken with these little cuties.  A popular choice of activity.
