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.

The experience of riding these beautiful horses with wonderful people looking after their customers, many of whom were novices like me, with such warmth and kindness was the highlight of my visit. I was a total beginner and I felt completely safe and supported through my experience yesterday.
I can highly recommend them as a most professional company.

The entire experience is incredible! The staff are amazing, the landscape and views are breathtaking and the horses are beautiful. You are matched with a horse according to your experience and they cater for everyone. Very affordable when compared to other trail rides. The best value for money and definitely a place to revisit. Carol and Glen run this amazing place and they are so welcoming, its as if you are part of the family. 100% recommend!!!!

This is a great way for the entire family to enjoy horse riding - no matter your experience! The staff are friendly and approachable - and fantastic with nervous riders. Our family has a mix of experience and by the end of the ride all of us had smiles on our faces and had experienced a fantastic ride. The ride itself is beautiful and through natural bush tracks. Staff listen to your level of experience and if you have any concerns and then work with you to make sure you have the most enjoyable experience for your skill level. Thank you for a fantastic morning!

We love Uncle Nev's trail 3hr rides .this is our 3rd time there in the last 18 months & it is a 'must do' whenever we travel to Melbourne (we are from Sydney).
The family is lovely ! It is also great having a half way break at the homestead & have biscuits & drinks. Beautiful views !!
This time though , we were disappointed as we were with a VERY VERY large group and we didn't actually head off for the 1.30 ride until 3pm.
The group had 30+ people in it and within it there was a family group of 16. This group should have had their own separate session. There were several 'Cowboys' amongst this group that made the ride less than fun for many of us.
The size of the overall group resulted in a lot of walking of the horses in places where we would have run them in previous rides. Also horses that had just been out for the morning 3 hour session, were re-used for the afternoon one!
I would definitely visit Uncle Nev's again, but would never do it during peak times and would ask what the size of the group is. I would also hope that the staff rethink their approach as it is a shame that these negative things occur.
Our family loves Uncle Nev's.. Just a bad day !!

Not much to add to the previous and only other review - also favourable. Went for the 3 hour standard ride with my 3 sons (youngest aged 13 was not experienced so ended up in the gentler group). Lots of friendly helpful staff. It was fun to be able to go flat-out a few times. Other rides (I'm thinking Mornington Peninsula here) do a really short canter and perhaps a couple of trots. Division into groups makes this ride suitable for all recreational riders from beginner to intermediate/advanced, although perhaps not for super-nervous beginners. Well-behaved and obedient horses who have to be treated with the respect they deserve (read the Virtual Lessons on their website). The ride includes a snack break (provided) / toilet stop. Good equipment including stock saddles (rather than general purpose types). Great way to spend a day if you like horses. We'll be back...

I have gone to uncle nevs well over ten times. it has beautiful scenery great fields for a nice canter and gallop. At first I rode Bridgette ( I went in the beginners group with her ) she just plodded along with the other horses but then after that I felt she was a bit slow so I moved onto a faster horse , Dexter , he is awesome. he listened perfectly to my commands and I got used to him pretty quickly so from then on I have been riding him in the experienced group. the only downside what waiting for others to be put on a horse/pony. altogether PERFECT!!!

I absolutely loved the 3hr trail ride $90, not only is it affordable in comparison to other places, but I asked for an experienced horse ride and it was the best experience I've ever had! Mainly cantering and galloping with a bit of walking to give the horses some rest. The horses are amazing! So well trained, very responsive and gentle. Uncle nevs also do amazing beginner rides with a slower pace. The staff are incredibly friendly and love to help out and make sure you are having a great time. Without a doubt, I will be returning here!

I have been going to this riding school for the last ten years. I have been around horses and owning horses for approximately 40 years. 8 years ago I sold my horses but wanted my son and two nieces to learn how to ride. They started riding at the age of 8 and the other 14 all my kids are nervous to try different things and from the beginning the kids felt safe and comfortable. The horses are safe for beginners and for someone like me who has done everything with horses I always ask for a challenge and I get that. Great staff friendly and worth a visit.
