Wayne and Kaye were wonderful, we loved our stay here (so much that we came back after few days!). They were very helpful with the electrical and water hookup providing extra cable and hose to connect. Kids were spoilt, Kaye was always waiting for them to feed the cows, bringing a ladder for them to be close to animals. There was wood fire to use for free. The dump point add extra confort to the stay. Overall its an excellent spot. Shops are close by.

Great stop with our family in the caravan for a couple of nights to visit Australia Zoo. Beautifully manicured lawns, level sites with option for power and water PLUS a dump point.
Wayne and Kaye both super friendly, brought us cucumbers from their vine and took kids to feed neighbours cows. Will definitely return if passing through again! Thank you!

Perfect place for a family getaway.
The horses were incredibly friendly and gentle, just like dogs, which was a big highlight.
The views were beautiful, the breeze was lovely, and the toilets were clean and well maintained.
Everything was comfortable and we truly enjoyed our stay.
Highly recommended for families — we would love to come back again.
