There are valleys that seem made for horseback — green, quiet, and framed by the soft blue shapes of the High Country. In North East Victoria, the trail leads through tall mountain forest, fern gullies, river crossings, and the wild beauty of Alpine National Park.

You ride with experienced guides on horses matched to your level, following scenic tracks where birdlife, open views, and mountain air set the pace. A medium level of confidence and fitness is recommended, making it a rewarding ride for those ready for a little adventure.

After the ride, return for a country-style lunch at a long table, with fresh homemade food shared with the day’s riders. Come for the trail, stay for the warmth of the table!

Rides will be subject to a 12% price increase during high season, holiday weekends, and public holidays.

Tour Guide, Camp Cook and Dad. My parents settled in Tawonga with my brother and me in 1986. They arrived with a truck load of horses and a vision for a family business that would honour the traditions of the High Country horse and offer unique quality visitor experiences. That vision still drives our family business. Our farm is truly the home of horseback adventures, our family sanctuary, and for the visitor, a country home away from home.

My partner and I visited this place shortly after the New Year. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there in every aspect. The family do an amazing job of welcoming guests and creating a homely atmosphere. The accommodations were charming and cozy, providing a peaceful retreat. The six rooms were thoughtfully designed to blend with the surroundings and were constructed using family designs, showcasing a labor of love. Instead of air conditioning, the rooms were naturally cooled at night while windows and shutters remained closed during the day, a more cost-effective and eco-friendly approach that we appreciated. The highlight was the communal living area with board games, a record player, and a long table where guests could relax and talk. Lin graciously prepared delicious homemade meals. Breakfasts were impressive too, featuring fresh produce, fruits, and homemade bread. Both my partner and I enjoyed horse riding, witnessing the excellent care provided to the horses and the exceptional guidance offered to riders of varying skill levels. It was a perfect getaway, and we will definitely return.
