Hillview Farmstay Activities

Activities

Hillview farm is set on just under 1000 acres of rolling hills and natural bush land.
With all this space, there is so much to see and do!
Our guests love feeding chickens, alpacas, sheep, lamb, and cows.
You can explore the diverse local flora and fauna (like kangaroos and the Australian wedge-tail eagle).
You can immerse yourself around the beautiful gardens.
Have a game of tennis or cool down in the pool. And at night, do some start-gazing and be mesmerised.
Or just sit back on your veranda and enjoy a glass of local wine and cheese platter.
