Our family holiday has basic needs: sunshine, peace, clean but simple accommodation. The place exceeded our expectations with regards to the wonderful service and the comfort that we received when we spent a week at the Adventure Resort. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They responded professionally and warmly to all our queries and needs during the week. We... More

We have driven past the Susan River many times over the last 30 years and have never stayed. Now that we have children who were keen to ride horses it seemed the ideal place. The owner Norm Mclean runs the place still after 30 years. His great aussie character and horsemanship will not only impress but also inspire you to... More

This location was an awesome find. From the time I called to enquire until the time we booked out, Norm made us feel very special. We purchased the 'Relaxation Package' which included all our food. The food was lovely 'homecooked' and plenty of it. Our rooms were clean and comfortable. Plenty for the kids to do without extra cost (pool,... More

We booked a horse riding session with Susan River after being attracted by their photos and our love for horses. Norman replies emails very promptly and was a great help to us! He picked us up at our lodging punctually and was very friendly and made us feel at ease. The horse riding experience was great! I had never rode... More

I can totally recommend this to any experienced or beginner Riders. Excellect facilities and wonderful staff who made it a lovely experience and a lovely place to stay, relax and enjoy the homestead.

We did the horse-riding as a group of three (with a few others in our group making seven in total plus two staff) and our skill level ranged from accomplished rider with teaching experience (my wife) to complete novice (me!) and we all had great fun. Highly recommended, my wife was gutted to have to leave at the end of... More

The people are so friendly and its is such a beautiful area, you just cant beat it!

Having learned to ride a horse at the age of 14 while on a week-long horse camp, I can assure you it’s been a long time between canters. But Susan River Homestead - a mere dot on the map 20 minutes inland from Hervey Bay and just outside Maryborough - proved the perfect place to dust off the akubra and... More

This place was a fantastic stop on my holiday. You couldn't ask for a nicer group of people - Norm and his staff really made me feel like a part of the family. I stayed in a lovely, clean room with a spa bath, had delicious meals tailored for me (I'm a vegetarian). Even though I was travelling alone I... More
