We had so much fun trying archery and paint ball target shooting today. Sandy was lovely and gave us a great lesson on archery with plenty of tips before leaving us to it to complete our 6 rounds, then we headed over to the paintball area to let loose on the targets there. My husband did far too well, beating me at archery by 40 points despite it being his first time trying it. We will definitely be coming back next time we're up this way! We highly recommend bringing the family or a bunch of friends for a day of fun activities, and a bit of healthy competition. Thanks so much Sandy, we'll be back for sure.

“What a hidden gem! We visited for a day of family fun and were blown away by the peaceful atmosphere. The archery was a standout—very well-organized and great for all of us. We also tried the target shooting, which was exciting and easy to get the hang of. Owner was absolutely lovely and made the whole environment feel incredibly friendly. It’s rare to find a place this calm that still offers so much adventure. The owners are wonderful, down-to-earth people who really make you feel at home. Definitely a 5-star experience and will visit again!”

“Family of 4, Nana, mum and 2 teen boys went today and had the greatest time even in some rain! Did some paintball target shooting, which was quick but still very fun!! Archery was the highlight for the 2 boys, got a very good lesson beforehand and then they got better after each round! And soccer golf was the greatest competition with Nana taking the win!. The couple who run it are so friendly and welcoming! The grounds are beautiful and well taken care of. Just a really great way to spend a few hours 😁”
