Sunset and wildlife experience

Experience the transition from day to night as the afternoon sun fades and casts its final light across the North Lilydale valley.

Step into the paddock and interact with our small herd of Angus cows. Learn about sustainable farming practices and our commitment to preserving the natural habitat and creating bushland areas to ensure a harmonious coexistence with the wildlife.

As the sun begins to set and we gather around the fire, savour a delicious meal prepared with beef from our farm complemented by locally sourced food and wine. 

Allow your eyes adjust to the darkness and prepare for an unforgettable experience as nocturnal animals emerge from their hiding places and we head deeper into the bushland. The starry sky, silhouetted trees, and glow of the moon create a picture-perfect setting for nighttime photography.

We encourage visitors to quietly observe and appreciate the wildlife without disrupting their natural behaviours. Maintaining a respectful distance and allowing the animals to carry on with their evening routines means we contribute to the preservation of their ecosystem.

Groups 2-5 people. Ages 12+.

Bookings available Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays during Spring and Autumn and by arrangement at other times.
