Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Amazing experience had by all.
Jan. 2023 • Family
What a place. What a wonderful experience. Our family loved learning about all the animals scattered around the expansive grounds and being up close to dingos!! The older ones loved a good back scratch. Coffee and smoothies were delicious. Also incredibly impressed by their sustainable life. Thanks Joe and family.

HORRIBLE, sad sick animals, unkept!
Nov. 2021 • Family
SCAM!!!!! This Park is a WASTE of money. It is completely run down. Half of the enclosures have no animals and are so overgrown that the grass and weeds are taller then the fences. The wombat was asleep but its condition was horrendous! It’s nails were so overgrown due to no area to dig they had curled and intertwined together. I can’t imagine this would be comfortable. The kangaroos were also underweight. The whole property was overrun by flies and faeces. Some of the pathways are unwalkable. The walk around the lake was unsafe with boards rotted away and flooded, so unable to walk the whole park. The “orchard” is a few sick fruit trees that it overgrown so you can’t even see them properly. This place says its all about sustainability but the only thing they are doing is just leaving it to become overgrown with sick sad animals. This place should not be able to charge what they do let alone operate at all!

Wonderful day out with friendly animals and delicious food
May 2021 • Couples
Wonderful visit! The park is an oasis filled with friendly animals. Loved our soup and apple crumble to! The owners were very passionate about animal welfare. We were surprised by how large the park was, and the sheer variety of different, happy and healthy animals living here.

Lovely rustic wildlife park
Jul. 2020 • Couples
We visited this park today and it was so cute! We got to feed the emus and Kangaroos and they were so friendly, very quiet because of covid but I hope it picks up for them again when all this is over! I loved how the animals had heaps of room to roam and they weren’t in tiny cages!

Kids loved this place
Jul. 2020 • Family
Went with my 11 and 12 year old and they adored it. Ended up buying two lots of food to feed the wallabies, emus and kangaroos as they had so much fun doing it the first time. We did the dingo experience which we all loved then enjoyed some lovely warm apple pie.

Don't waste your time or money
Mar. 2020
Visited this park 12 years ago, was great. Lots of animals of different types. Lovely birds in the flight avaries, and native birds flying everywhere.
Took the family back , saying they were going to love it. How wrong could I be !
New owners, now an uncared for, unloved dump. Very few animals, no birds whatsoever, apart from the emus. Totally rundown and overgrown. A dirty flyblown property that shouldn't be allowed a license to operate.
I spoke to the owner regarding my concerns, he replied that he doesn't like to see things confined, . If that's the case why keep anything at all.
It appears to me that it is just a little revenue earner to the owners, pay your money and too bad what you get. My advice would be sell it, or get off your lazy backsides and do some extremely overdue maintenance and tidy the place up, and get rid of the flies..

Dingos!
Mar. 2020
We stopped at this place while driving on the Great Ocean Road. We were thrilled to be able to feed the kangaroos and wallabies, but for me, my favorite part was the Dingo experience. Joseph is fantastic and is a real voice for the misunderstood dingo. Nagari and Lowana were very patient and friendly with me. I enjoyed it so much. It was one of my most favorite experiences in Australia. I truly cannot put it into words, it was a very spiritual and organic visit.

Glad we stopped
Mar. 2020
We were the only ones there so that was nice! The animals were great. I do think the kangas are getting a little chunky from just laying around and could use some activity. Still cute though of course. One of the deer came up and let us feed it so that was nice.
We spent a couple of hours walking the trail and saw everything.
