🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for primary-school-aged children and birthday parties. Reviewers consistently name Gina and Maddy and call out the calm ponies and patient handling - multiple parents mention their kids didn't want to leave. Bookings are private (one family at a time), so you don't share the venue.

“We had a wonderful exerpience at the Country Magic Farm. My girls (4 & 5) had so much fun feeding the animals, exploring the grounds, chatting with Gina (the owner and host), and riding the pony. Gina was friendly, patient, knowledgable, and great with the kids. She was well prepared for our visit, and let us take as much time as we needed during the various activities during our visit. She was very helpful when I was setting up the visit, answered all my questions, and even proactively offered to reschedule when the weather looked poor for our visit; we rescheduled and visited on a lovely sunny day :) The grounds and facilities were well maintained and safe. Plenty of space for a picnic, and there was a large party room for hosting birthdays. Depending on the weather, you might want to wear boots and/or sun protection. The bathroom facilities were tidy and clean. The pony time picnic was well worth the price; if your children have any interst in animals they'll love visiting the farm. Again - I highly recommend Country Magic; it's a wonderful experience for children and families. When you go, say "hi" to Murray the cat for us :)”

“We booked the Pony Time Picnic. The farm experience was wonderful for our toddler and my wife. We had a great time feeding the chickens, farm animals and patting them. Gina made sure we were comfortable throughout the farm tour. Our toddler got to ride the pony and he loved it. Gina is also very mindful that her farm animals are not stressed out due to the tour, hence takes in only 1 to 2 bookings a day which we thought was great. Also due to that we got a private farm tour at a nice relaxed pace. Great place that is only around 1 year old and needs our support as a community. We would definitely recommend animal lovers to go check this place out. We will come back again. They also have a cute birthday party venue. Thanks for hosting us Gina.”

“The private farm tour was amazing! Gina was such a wonderful host and my primary aged kid had such a lovely experience interacting with the animals. Not only did we get to feed the animals and enjoy pony rides - but we also got to hold the chickens, brush the horse, and learn how to handle and care for the animals. It was educational, engaging, and enjoyable for both children and adults. :) The fact that we had some quick snack break in the farm was pretty cool! You can tell that Gina truly cares about the animals and always prioritises their welfare. We all learned so much, and my child had an unforgettable, personal experience with the horse. Highly recommend for the animal experience and birthday parties :)”
