Along with your trek there are plenty of other activities you can take advantage of with this package including seasonal farm activities such as milking the cows and feeding the calves. You can go eeling in the creek, bike or walk around our many tracks and see all the farm animals and wildlife the countryside has to offer. Sit out on the deck at night and see how bright the stars are away from the city lights. Once you’ve had your fill of the outdoors head back inside and put your feet up in front of the open fire and big screen TV while our hosts cook you a farm style dinner and dessert (Saturday night). If you want to do extra horse riding your host will book you in on request (space permitting).
