Rocked by cattle all night
19 m travel trailer · With pets · I left after the first night and requested a refund.
The listing mentioned cattle on the property, but it did not accurately prepare guests for what we experienced. This was not a case of seeing a few cows in the distance. There were more than 20 cattle roaming through the campsite area, including young bulls.
Throughout the evening, cattle surrounded our caravan and repeatedly rubbed against it, causing it to rock while we were inside. At one point, when I tried to safely move one of the animals away from our campsite, the bull approached me instead of backing away.
The cattle returned again during the night at 3am. We were woken by animals around the caravan, rubbing against it and rocking it while we were trying to sleep. It was stressful and intimidating.
I called the host multiple times because I felt unsafe and needed assistance. My calls initially went unanswered. When the host eventually returned my call, I was told he was in Brisbane and could not help. I was asked whether I had read the listing, but my concern was not that cattle existed on the property. My concern was that dozens of cattle, including bulls, were actively moving through occupied campsites and physically rocking caravans.
No practical assistance or alternative solution was offered. Due to the experience and lack of support, I left after the first night and requested a refund.
