A perfect dressage arena and yard facility for your horse riding training and clinics -uniquely offering on-site accommodation.

Our hope is for our guests to enjoy a
unique, no fuss farm-stay experience!

This cluster of pavilion-style buildings, nestled into bushland on the Central Coast blends seamlessly into its surroundings, offering deluxe on-site bed and breakfast style accommodation.

A stand-alone clubhouse with dining, kitchen and BBQ facility is closely aligned to a series of 4 sleeping cabins.Sleeps total of 12 people. Each cabin has a breezy and open yet private feel, maximising the views. These modular dwellings are perfectly at home in their bush surrounds.

The floor plans are simplified to a single large bedroom able to sleep two or three, by using a converting daybed, with tea making facilities and wardrobe storage area off a spacious bathroom. The interior design of the sleeping pods exemplifies an easy living approach and allows guests to feel a little pampered after a hard day’s riding or visiting the local area.
