Bestbrook Mountain Farmstay

Such a wonderful experience. The kids had a ball. Besbrooke really look after their animals well. There was something for everyone, from horse riding to whip cracking. Would highly recommend for anyone who loves getting a farm experience as well as enjoying being immersed in nature.

We stayed at Bestbrook in a caravan on a powered site in the Tranquility Campground. It was beautiful. The cows roamed through and the kids were free the explore the creek, which was flowing but shallow. The activities were a great opportunity for my kids to have their first experience with horses and the Guinea Pigs were a HUGE hit. The homestead has such a lovely vibe and the drinks and food are reasonably priced. We had dinner on Burgers and Beers night and the steak burger is up there with the best I’ve ever had. We will be back! ☺️

Great country farm stay experience for my trio of 4/7/10 as well as 2 grandparents. Stay - Simple cosy 3bedroom cabin embrace in nature of river trail and stars. Frosty river in morning and rainbow after rain. Close to nature as it should be. Activities - Kids love the animal feeding, horse riding, butter/tea/damper making, whipping and boomerang, where they even repeat the animals round to say hi. Love the campfire to spend the night. Keeping them engaged n away from gadgets. Food - really enjoy the bf and dinner meals at main restaurant, where kids simply rank it top of their favs during our vacation to Australia. Lastly , big thank you to Ray /Elise/Bruce / James for your hospitality that make our trip a “fabulous”one .

Took my two children (4&7) and they were in kiddo paradise. From the picturesque mountain views, to the trickling creek -perfect for little feet to splash in and spot tadpoles and tiny creatures, to the gorgeous array of farm animals and the tranquil unpowered campsites nestled between the two leafy green mountain sides this could not have been a more relaxing weekender. We got to join in on the damper making and billy tea but will be back again really soon for feeding the animals, milking cows, riding horses, whip cracking displays and enjoying a splash in the cute little pool with gorgeous views and a play in the children’s playground. It is a country resort so nothing is sparkling but it’s all apart of the adventure and being in a character location in the crisp country air, so mind the bull ants under the toilet seat and be sure to bring some closer shoes or keep an eye out for the occassional cow Pat. But as I said to my kids with a smile and a laugh, this is the country! Enjoy! It’s all a part of the learning and experience of being alongside nature and you sure don’t get to see stars like that in the city 💛 magical, magical, magical place for kids (and “grown up” kids alike).

We had a powered camping site. No-one else there because we chose to go after the holidays & long weekends. Over the long weekends it is very crowded. Great camping, good grassy areas, plenty of campfire places to use. The cabins looked like they need an upgrade & a coat of paint. The toilet& shower facilities could be a lot better!! Very cramped in the shower, only one shower in each 3 has hooks for clothes. They are only demountable port-a-loos. Better off brining your own. Some money could be spent on building some decent shower & toilet facilities. The amount of people they get over the holiday month of April was massive. Could be the same excellent facilities like Cobbold Gorge Nth Qld, beautiful facilities & less cost to camp. Only my humble opinion A lot of truck noise from the highway.

Such an amazing place for kids and dogs as well as adults. All the activities are awesome. There’s a 4WD track that was a bit hairy but so much fun! The gnome cave walk was really cool. A tad slippery as it has rained a few days earlier. Where proper shoes or gum boots. We camped in the tranquility area and the creek was so close and pretty down there. The kids floated down on their boogie boards. The food at the restaurant was great!
