Do you remember the days when you were free to wander the local paddock and play with the animals? Or have you never experienced this but always wanted to? It's difficult to find the opportunity and a great location these days, but Hidden Valley Farm at Ourimbah provides just that! Many families have spent every available moment raising their children on this farm and now they bring their grandchildren.

Hidden Valley Farm has been operating since 1977 and is the ideal place to learn to ride a horse or improve your riding skills. Once you've tired yourself out, swim a few laps in the 25 metre pool, practice your backhand on one of two tennis courts, go mountain biking or simply sit on the veranda and listen for the lyrebirds. If that's not enough to keep you busy, with places like the Entrance, Shelley Beach, local golf clubs and all the adventures of the Central Coast on your doorstep, the possibilities for family fun are never-ending.
