HORSE RIDING
The horse riding tours are one of the greatest assets, and have become a specialized activity that is somewhat unique compared to other trail riding tours. Ride through the wide-open fields of Myella on horses that are loved and cared for. If you are a beginner or an experienced rider there will be a horse to suit you. We ride daily for a minimum of 2hrs. Experienced riders are impressed with the quality of the horses offered. You have the chance to ride freely over the landscape and once a week we move cattle.
MOTORBIKE RIDING
You have the freedom to discover the beauty of the bush while you ride along the marked tracks. The bikes are available after lunch or instead of horse riding. Guests use the bikes to gather the horses from the 100 acre paddocks.
Motorbike lessons are offered daily and a farm tour is offered during each farm stay. The farm tour is guided in the 4WD tray-back or following on the motorbikes. The farm tour offers the opportunity to discus farming issues and a family member will share knowledge about the farm and nature. Enjoy the scenic views of the farm in a style that is both educational and relaxed.
4WD TOURS
Tour the farm in the 4WD, every tour is a little different. The tour is a great time to discuss farming issues and practices. The tour allows general discussion as the farm experience stimulates thoughts and questions. There are many options with the tour it can focus on wildlife, fauna and flora, conservation, farming practices, the farms history and the life cycle and instincts of cattle. The tour takes in the scenery and some great view points. The landscape if often likened to an African scene but with kangaroos, cattle and bottle trees!
