Was a lovely stay, my kids loved the pool and feeding all the animals. We took our two dogs and they were very welcome, just keep in mind they have to be on leash at all times because of the farm animals. Great stay

To start with the beautiful palm lined driveway in is a great introduction to the lovely rural open campsites. One is surrounded in lovely nursery plants and beyond to open fields and a pond. Be aware there are only shower and toilet facilities and drinking water by kettle only. You will need to fill you van with water before arriving, empty the grey water and cassette. A very nice quite spot a short distance from the hussele and bussele of Harvey Bay.

What a delightful property. Not sure where to start, the space is ample and flat overlooking the arena, power or no power your choice. The animal feeding was an absolute highlight, Sharon and Wayne are absolute legends. You don’t need to be a horse person to enjoy it here, but if you are WOW it offers everything. We will be back

Staying on Sharon’s land was such a memorable experience! Feeding the Highland cows and horses was a real highlight- so special and fun, with both dogs following us around for scratches and the geese screaming at us 😂. Has pool table and darts options and she even offered us fresh oranges, which was such a kind touch. A peaceful, unique stay with a wonderful host!!!

Weekend Trip to Sunrise Quarter Horse Stud

We had a beautiful stay. Got to see friendly hairy cows, cranky grease, horses, and kangaroos. The team were so nice and welcoming. The warm shower was a bonus. They are on tank water so we were mindful of having quick showers. We got there a bit late but if we arrived on time we could of had a fire. There was a braziers set up and ready to go and a fridge for drinks.
