Read moreSpend $70 ($24 x 2 adults and $22 x 1 toddler, baby was free). Each attraction was run down and in poor condition. Rabbit and Guinea pig enclosure was dirty and fill of flies. They were afraid of us and no staff were available to ask for help to hold them, therefore it was difficult to actually sit and pick them up - as advertised. The Indoor play centre smelt from lack of ventilation, was unclean and filled with second hand old toys. We saw spiders almost immediately, and there were flies, hair and dirt in the play equipment. The music was also not age appropriate. Most of the fences outside were in poor condition. The pedal boat was taking in water as we rode it and was also in poor condition. Overall significantly over priced considering the condition of the equipment and pens. Very run down and not attractive. Dealing with the animals is not as hands on as they advertise. Disappointing as we were recommended this place twice and saw great reviews online. Honestly the positive reviews and the experience do not add up. This experience left us feeling upset and disappointed. It is trying to do too much and if it just focused on the animals, it would be great. To end on a positive note, the Canadian man we deal with was lovely and friendly and trough in another bucket of carrots. I don't want another family spending their money and feeling upset...
Read moreCountry Life Farm was one of the best family stops on our road trip! It’s a fantastic hands-on experience for young kids and a great option for a sunny or rainy day. From the moment we arrived, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the kids were buzzing with excitement.
There are loads of animals to see and feed—rabbits, goats, alpacas, ponies, kangaroos, deer, and even emus. The highlight for my children was bottle-feeding the baby animals and getting up close with some of the fluffier residents. Everything is set up for interaction and learning.
Apart from the animals, there’s a small merry-go-round, bouncing castles, and paddle boats that are perfect for younger kids. There’s also a covered area for picnics and snacks, plus shaded spots for resting between activities.
It’s clear the place is family-run and lovingly maintained. It wasn’t crowded when we went, which made it even more enjoyable. Don’t forget to bring your camera—there are plenty of photo ops!
Highly recommend for families with toddlers and primary school-aged children. A wholesome, fun-filled experience that’s well worth...
