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.

Great little animal farm to take your kids. Tractor ride and mini golf included for a great price. 11 month old daughter loved it. Worth the visit.

Ran by a lovely family.
Spent an hour or two there. The kids had a great time, mostly feeding the Guinea pigs.
They also enjoyed the trailer ride and the crazy emus!
Facilities are a little ran down and could do with an update.

My 3yo son and I loved going to the farm (just before lockdown). Looking for the gnomes, trailer ride and feeding the rabbits were all highlights for him. The place has good vibes being a family run business.

A wonderful activity for families with young friends. Plenty to do and see and very reasonably priced! Highlights were feeding and holding the small barn animals (rabbits and guinea pigs) and the trailer ride which is included in the price. Very hospitable owner with lots of nice touches for little ones. My 2 and 4 year old loved it!

This place is definitely worth a visit if you have young kids and holidaying on the south coast!
Reasonably priced and good value.
Small farm animals like rabbits, pigs, chooks, goats, etc, and other animals like wallaby's, kangaroos, emus, ponies. Ability to hand feed some.
Can ride a pony for $5 extra, but worth it for the experience.
Enclosed playground, sand pit area.
Great little cafe for good coffee, drinks, snacks, etc...

I have been to the farm a few times now. My kids love it. Visiting the animals, cuddling the newborns (rabbits and guinea pigs), having a pony ride, playing in the outdoor playground and taking the train carriage ride.
Owners are so friendly, give helpful and honest service, true hospitality.
The farm sponsored a Christmas Party for young mums from Mummylink, which I volunteer for.
A business that blesses others deserves to be visited and supported.

A great day with the kids at the farm. The owners were fantastic and really approachable. There were many animals to feed and pat. The baby emus were very cute. We will definitely go back again and next time ride the ponies.

This is a large farm with sheeps, lamas, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses etc. Animal food available for purchase. Very friendly, kind and passionate owner. Big playground for children, tables with tent, great place for birthday parties. This is the best farm we have ever been at!

This is an excellent experience.A wide range of animals to feed and intract with.Including animals that children of all ages can touch and apt.Well maintained and a great place to takea picnic lunch.The crew are all very helpful and courteous.This place really deserves to be busy,but it appears that there is always room to move and let your children have a first hand experience.I could recommend the pony rides(children with us were 5,8 and 11).Much better than zoos for small children and there is a lot to be learned from the visit.The baby rabbits made a big impression on our group and one of them wanted to adopt a bunny.

Could you give an indication as to the costs in the cafe?
It will ensure that I have enough to cover for this or need to take a basket for lunch.
Thank you.
Written 13 November 2015
They have eftpos there but when we went a month or so ago the cafe just had snacks. They don't do lunch there at the moment I believe. I called them on the day to ask about lunch options for my baby, but they said they didn't do full meals yet. They did however let me put some things in their fridge and freezer and used their microwave to reheat my daughters meal.
