Family Fun at Susan River
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.
