Our stay at Susan River Homestead (Jan 2025) was absolutely wonderful! The grounds are incredibly spacious and beautifully maintained. The park itself is a picturesque haven with lush green lawns and a serene atmosphere.
While some of the amenities and recreational spaces are a little run-done (refurbishments have begun), they were all clean and perfectly usable. The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the 2.5-hour horse ride. The horses are clearly well-loved and incredibly well-trained, making for an unforgettable experience.
The large dam was a constant source of entertainment. The kids spent every afternoon exploring the surrounding area, swimming, paddling, and even enjoying a thrilling ride on the tube (we were able to bring our own boat).
The cow feeding was a huge hit with everyone, thanks to the enthusiastic and energetic guidance of TJ. Everyone we encountered at the Homestead was incredibly friendly and welcoming.
The location is perfect, just a short 20-minute drive from both Hervey Bay and Maryborough. We took advantage of this to enjoy the beach and stock up on groceries.
As a bonus, we also participated in the Gel Blasting activity (run separately on the property), which was an absolute blast and highly recommended.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Susan River Homestead to anyone seeking a relaxing and enjoyable getaway. It's the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature.
We stayed at the Susan river venue for 3 nights - What an amazing experience!
Awesome facilities including showers, cinema rooms, camp kitchen!
Horses all around, such polite staff, always friendly and inclusive!
Will definitely be staying again
Abbie and her team are great hosts who go out of their way to help out if they can. It's a particularly good spot for families with plenty of activities to do (horse riding, kids play equipment, trampoline, volleyball, tennis, etc).
