Guests have free rein to enjoy luxury nature walks, fishing, picnics, stargazing, mountain biking, cooking demonstrations, Bocce, interpretive cattle mustering and yard work viewing. Half day station tours, horse riding, quad biking, canoeing, and private half and full day 4WD and fishing tours are also available.
