    We had a lovely time here for my daughter’s birthday. The lines initially for food and drink were quite busy. But lovely cafe experience, and wonderful attraction to feed the turtles, and the farm animals. The people running the horse riding were amazing, very accommodating and my children had the best time. Thanks so much for having our big group of 22 people we will be back.

    Food was good. Service was excellent & the view looking out onto the water & the greenery was beautiful. For us personally,the music was a bit too loud, it would've added to the peace & serenity if there were no music & all u could hear was the sound of nature. The $4 animal feed was too over priced considering the size of the cup. Overall, it was a lovely place to visit & we'll definitely visit again. It's a great place for families with small children. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us 😊

    Lovely location. The food was average, not a lot of variety, and very sugar laden. It's a beautiful location though. The lady leading the small pony around did not appear to know how to lead it correctly. It did not appear very happy or comfortable with her.

    Beautiful and peaceful location, friendly and fast service. We were actually really surprised by how fast our food and drinks were served. Good size meals, kids meals were even too big for my kids to finish. Amazing views down to the river where we could see many turtles swimming. My husband and I were able to sit on the deck and watch our 13 & 11 year olds feeding the turtles. So much else to see and do, would love to try a picnic there too! My husband felt so relaxed and the kids were so thankful for our morning out, We’ll be back!

    Beautiful venue with plenty of potential. Unfortunately on this occasion the meals fell well below acceptable. Both meals were undercooked, with the eggs being served close to raw, resulting in us leaving 3/4 of the meals behind. Hopefully meal quality can be addressed in the future as it is a wonderful place for families of all ages to engage with animals and nature.

    The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The food arrived in a reasonable time, but I can see why we needed to book even at 10.30 am. We will definitely be back.

    Lovely place to go for the afternoon. The food was really good and excellent value for money. I was actually surprised how good it was. It was also very quick after ordering! The kids had a great time feeding the turtles and walking around exploring.
