Kangaroos, Wallbies and Emus roam freely throughout the grounds where you can pat and feed them. Many species of birds, wombats, tasmanian devils and other native Australian animals to visit. A great day out for the family.

Restaurants, Cafes & Wineries

This is one of our favourite places! It's a beautiful rustic winery set in stunning surroundings. Family friendly and relaxed. Outdoor area to hang out with friends and family without the stuffiness of some wineries. The wine is great, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is so welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

A little further out (you'll need to hop in the car) but still only 10 mins drive away. In the quiet little village of Rhyll it has amazing 180 degree water views and a warm and relaxing atmosphere. Rustic but stylish restaurant and in the winter time there is a fire to enjoy. Menu has lots of local produce, fresh seafood and dishes from around the world
