The old house needs a lot of work. The cafe was good. On a self guided walk the horses didn’t really want to know you so it was hard to distinguish which was who. We did manage to get close to a couple of them as we followed a feeding group around. The toilets were a disgrace. Absolutely filthy and smelly and right next to the picnic area. No excuse for this mess.

Great day had with retired race horses. Living Legends like Brew, Who Shot The Barman & Rogan Josh to name a few. Definitely do a tour as you get so much more out of hearing the stories of each horse, their likes & dislikes, and who visits. With a bag of chopped carrots and lots of pats, you'll enjoy spending time with the horses. Finish off your visit with a cuppa tea and scones up at the homestead.

We were excited to find out that Living Legends did complementary pickup and drop offs from Melbourne Airport, so I messaged them on Friday to organise a pickup for Sunday morning. They responded with the office number to call and said they would love to see us Sunday and they open at 10am 😊. When we called on Sunday, they told us they don’t do pickups on weekends! 🤔Why didn’t they just tell us that when they messaged me back instead of leaving us thinking all we had to do was call today to confirm. Just common curtesy. We checked the Uber cost, which was $50 for 6 minute return trip, so decided not to go. I was happy to support the project, but not if that is the way they treat people.

Sat outside watching the aircraft take off from nearby Melbourne Airport and devoured the delicious scones on offer, big enough for one serve, light and fluffy with fresh cream and jam, do yourself a favour and visit, you may even get to see some living legends..

What a great day, we were greeted by Anne on arrival who was helpful and polite. We were given a tour by Danny who was extremely knowledgeable and had a great rapport with all the champions. If you are a punter or a horse lover it is well worth the trip.

The bad We did this but on our own as we wanted to time our flight. Bad idea, as most of the horses did not bother to walk up to us. The horses were fed on the tour before we arrived. Kids ended up being pretty disappointed. Also we were in a rush, only had less than 1 hour which is a bad idea. Wasted $30. The good Lady at kitchen was welcoming, charged us $30 which is discounted for 2 adults and 2 kids. 2 of the horses saved the day!

I had my 50th birthday high tea in the music room. The room really met my expectations with piano and harp. I had 17 people and they fitted nicely. The scones were huge and really nice. There were sandwiches quiches cupcakes fruit tea and coffee and juice. The price is also another winner. The staff were very friendly and nothing was a problem. Really recommend this place and the room.

Lovely little spot to have tea and scones while relaxing around the homestead. Lots of walks to do and the opportunity to view some beautiful retired racehorses.

Had a wonderful time on our guided tour feeding carrots to past champions and learning a little info about their racing career.

The best Devonshire tea in Victoria. Wonderful day spent at the homestead. The scones were absolutely amazing and the coffee was great. Thank you Ann for your tremendous hospitality. Ann was very sweet and her scones were amazing. Will definitely comeback.

Living legends is absolutely unreal for any racing fan or horse lover in general. Even though it was raining heavily half the time, the two lovely staff who ran our tour (Chanelle and Frank, I think.), were incredibly knowledgeable about all the horses, had great stories to tell, as well as being super friendly, and enthusiastic, despite the weather. Chanelle took heaps of photos of us with the horses, including some absolute beauties, which was really lovely. Overall lovely property, incredibly interesting, and something every racing fan should have on their bucket list to do.

Amazing views . Great hosts that walk you around the yards and give you details about the horses. The horses what can I say amazing they love to have pats and treats . The afternoon tea Scones the size of damper and hot coffee and tea. Look around the homestead so much to see. The gardens are beautiful too. The staff are 10+

The historic building and grounds are very good but I really enjoyed walking a bit further to see herds of kangaroos in their natural habitat.

What a lovely place to visit! A very fitting end to our amazing 10th annual Horse Trip! We are a group of friends who enjoy going to the races and every year we choose a destination. This year it was Bendigo. On our way back into Melbourne, it was decided we would add a visit to this lovely place for morning tea, a tour and lunch. What an excellent choice. We were blessed with a beautiful day and the horses were a delight. Lovely fresh scones with Jam and cream with choice of tea or coffee set us up for a walk around the facility, some did the lot and some sat under a shady tree(that would be me!). Then it was back inside for lunch as the warm sunny day had brought out the flies. Lunch was a wide variety of delicious open sandwiches, and huge cheese and fruit platters. Wine and beer are available for purchase or tea and coffee was included. A fabulous day, and a wonderful finish to our 2018 Horse trip.

We visited here right after arriving to Melbourne Airport. They provide complementary pick-up service, and also provide drop-off to Melbourne Airport with a fee. This option is very helpful for us as we don't drive. Staffs there are very friendly and welcoming. Although we did self guided tour, it was amazing time strolling around seeing famous horses happily spending their retirement life. All horses looked good in shape, busy feeding themselves but they will not forget entertain visitors. Came closer and see if we got carrots for them...;P Hope to visit everytime whenever I visit to Melbourne!!
