.A fantastic spot for a family stroll, this amazing property is home to many famous retirees of the racing world and abundant wildlife. As you walk, you'll enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. The charming homestead, with its open fire, offers delicious food and coffee, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It's an ideal destination for a relaxing family day out, combining natural beauty and comfort. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area.

Heaven on earth! Such an amazing place for these champions. Living their best lives thanks to all involved. The negative reviews about the coffee need to remember that it’s not a cafe and also that it’s very popular…coffee doesn’t come before horses and it’s busy because it’s beautiful! Nobody comes for the coffee…they come for the horses and they’re spectacular! I’ll be a regular that’s for sure ❤️🐎 10/10 every time and the tour guide was so knowledgeable, Luke, you were perfect x

We visited on Mother’s Day, and while it was busy (as you would expect), it was still amazing. The Homestead food and coffee was great, the horses all seemed super happy and healthy, and there’s the added bonus of planes flying low overhead.

Did not visit this location for the park itself. However, this location is great for plane enthusiasts. Great views from here of the runway. Toilets in the park were well maintained and were very clean. Will visit park again soon, but that time will be to explore the park and I will post again.

Luke was an excellent tour guide with lots of information on these former champions. It was lovely to see them so loved and living the good life! The old homestead is of great interest in itself and also serves up a great coffee in beautiful surroundings! 💜
