Have you ever ridden a horse before? There is just something so amazing about sitting on top of a…read morehorse, hoping it will Canter and thrill you while praying it doesn't throw you off. A visit to the riding ranch at Sweeneys is like stepping back in time a hundred years. It is quite and peaceful and the only sound you will hear is nature. You almost feel guilty for talking and breaking the silence. Sweeneys offers a Riding Ranch at Scenic Hills. They were very polite and encouraged me to get on the horse. My horse's name was Bella and she was very gentle. They put my partner on Bella's lover, so we both could ride along as our horses had a strong attraction. It started very cosily and I soon got comfortable on Bella. Being on a horse for the first time, I learn't how to pat her with my heels to go faster or slow down using the reins. Clearly, I didn't master the art as Bella just kept following her sweetheart and gently ignored my commands. We went on a long trail ride over an hour and you begin enjoying the ride almost immediately. The farm is very pretty and the guide takes you over hills and slopes, which is fun and surprising to discover a lake in the middle of nowhere. The farm has over 100 horses and they do offer experienced trail riders the opportunity to Gallop.

The place can only house one function at a time which is great as you have the whole place to yourselves. Such a great tranquil place to see good friends tying the knot. Food was sensational! And great wine choices to match. They also have a few rooms for accommodation but mostly were taken by the bridal party so we stayed in town. Friendly staff, lots of places to walk around, just behind the area there is a little creek. This place is just wonderful! And i've been to many wedding venue's in Sydney and this place tops the list!

Heading to Eschol Park House for a wedding reception I didn't know what to expect…read more To be honest the princess in me was a little judgemental due to the location and impression I was given, well how wrong I was, this was a beautiful location for a wedding, classy, pretty and stylish with a heritage feel. It is a heritage listed house, the wedding we attended was one of 2 on the day, with the ceremony in the grounds. I know the wedding we attended was planned on a tight budget, but you would never have known that. It really was a beautiful day, the food was lovely, salmon steak with avocado, dill and capers as an entree, a beautiful main of chicken and sweet potato mash or lamb shanks and a dessert platter with a trio of little dessert tasters. It was a beautiful day!

This is my first time writing a review because I had lots I wanted to say about this place…read more I came here for my Year 4 school camp. This camp (?) was amazing. First of all, the beds were actual beds, with comfortable matresses and soft cusions. In my Cabin, I had 6 or 7 other friends. WE HAD 2 BATHROOMS!!!! This also included the modernised shower, along with a hanger and tiled walls. We also had cabinets to store stuff (although we didn't use it). Food was awesome. Although I only went there for 2 days and 1 night, the food was incredible. At the time of my visit, There was a condiments buffet. We even traded sauces and salts with eachother - like a market (we got in trouble though). Dinner was chicken with mushroom sauce. The centre also consisted of a "special diet meal" where my best friend had. He claimed it was suitable. There was also a breakfast self serve BTW. There was a disco night on the eve of camp, it was average. The collaroy centre is dotted on a nice hill on its back. There we glanced at animals. When we were about an hour before leaving, we played soccer that they provided, as well as other games. However, the activities were the highlight. This may be subjective, but it consisted of my favourate activities - Archery and Laser tag. The instructors were also humourous. Other activities (Giant swing, Balancing challenge, Treasure hunt) were ok. The only thing I was slightly dissatisfied about was the long walks (I am a lazy person). I had to crawl ~1km uphill to the giant swing. Our cabins were also slightly far from our drop off. Overall, A very nice camp compared to others. I was shocked to see its bedding and food alike. Activities were entertaining. Only docked a star because of long walks.

Drove towards the top and parked the car near to where the reception was. When I asked the staff about where the group I was supposed to be in, she quickly guided me and told me about the three groups which were there and the respective locations. Whoops.. I heard deaf as death. And yup, luckily I didn't enter the wrong group. Decided to go to the chapel and the cabins to look for familiar faces. Unfortunately wasn't easy to find as there are five different cabin locations. Decided to send a text to the person in-charge and finally I found them. Joined the group for both lunch and dinner. The dining area was pretty big overviewing the Pacific ocean. The weather was pretty great while I was there and so the slow motion waves were visible. Even saw a golf course before the ocean. Food wise, could say it was pretty good. Lunch, we had chicken cutlet with burrito wraps and cheese as well as salad on the side. Dinner, we had beef slices with yellow noodle and some paprika on the side as well as chocolate cupcake on the side. Didn't join in for tea break and supper which might have good variety of foods too. After lunch, just outside the cafeteria we spotted some birds. Managed to get close shots of those birds eating bread crumbs or apple. The families who were with us enjoyed interacting with the birds. The chapel has a big conference room with plenty of chairs and tables on the side. It has a small podium with microphone as well. You could see the sea view from the chapel - conference room as well. Overall, I think it is a nice getaway area for varieties of events. It is also near to a mall with bowling or laser tag area as well as close by beaches around the area. Before coming here, there are two petrol/gas stations nearby on the main road. :)
