If you are in to horse riding then you may bring your own horses to ride along our riding trails. We have horse yards, tack room, water troughs, tyre feeders, fenced horse paddocks and a full size round yard. We have three horses of our own who will be very curious to meet your animals. The road to the house is quite steep so be prepared to drive up in low range 4wd but the journey is worth it. If bushwalking is your thing, we have a network of tracks that cover a wide range of different ecosystems. They range from and easy stroll up to the picnic shelter (about 4km return) to steep and rocky walks through sandstone gorges. If you want to stay in the house, camp and spend a few days exploring the area or prefer to just come for the day we can accomodate you either way. Long Grass has been a wildlife sanctuary and Nature Refuge for nearly twenty years. It has a wide range of birds, kangaroos, wallabies and other wildlife to delight nature lovers. You will come away from Long Grass with a new appreciation of the phrase peace and quiet. Miles away from other houses and with little or no passing traffic on the dirt road, the only sounds you hear are the calling of birds and the sighing of the wind. Enjoy beautiful sunsets from the veranda whilst sipping a glass of your favourite wine and let the cares of the world pass you by.

Serenity in the Grass
This was a rural retreat with luxury, where you can commune with nature, bushwalk hard or easy, relax in the spa and have a drink on the veranda. I loved the limited phone access and the beauty of the area. The wildlife literally came to the fence plus the friendly horses added to the atmosphere. It was very difficult to leave and return to the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Exploring the cottage and walking to the look outs were amazing!
