    Excellent venue to educate children about farm animals

    Kids had a great time with new experiences and learning about animals. Viewing them in their natural habitat and getting an opportunity to interact with them was really good. We will definitely be going back.

    Disappointing experience. Staff seem disinterested.

    I really don’t like leaving crappy reviews, but this place needs some adjustment. Arrived but no hospitality and no direction. Asked in cafe where the tour begins and told the girls would meet everyone at the playground. Future visitors take note. First stop is the...More

    Good farm tour, very average and overpriced farmstay

    Farm tour was good with a good variety of animals, pony and tractor ride. Farmstay room/ apartment was clean. That said, hospitality level leaves much to be desired. There was no one to greet us when we arrived and we had to wait quite awhile...More

    Amazing place with wonderful hosts

    It was a wonderful experience for my family and my kids, aged 8 and 4, thoroughly enjoyed the farm. The hosts are wonderful and made our stay memorable with their kind disposition.

    Lovely farm, a little disorganised
