Hunter Valley Horse Riding & Adventures offers guided one-hour trail rides through the Lovedale property with no prior experience required. Staff match each rider to a suitable horse.
๐ Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children aged 6 and up who want a genuine outdoor experience beyond a theme park. The guides are exceptionally patient with nervous young riders and first-timers. Families staying overnight in the hilltop villas get the full experience - bonfire nights and morning horse feeds make it memorable.

โMy 10yo and I had a wonderful and memorable 1-hour trail ride during the October school holidays with the lovely Avril. Avril was incredibly friendly, and very patient and gentle with my son. She and the other staff were really helpful in matching us with the right horses and, although we'd both ridden before, no experience was necessary. The scenery during the ride was stunning - we saw lots of kangaroos - and the whole experience was incredibly serene and relaxing. It was such a memorable experience and I highly recommend a ride as a unique and immersive way to see the Hunter Valley.โ

โBooking in advance is a must! Depending on the weather you may be blessed to enjoy a beautiful hilltop view! Signed up for the 1hr horseback ride, but given the views can envisage how the sunset ride would be spectacular!โ

โWe camped for three nights with three young kids and can say it was the best camping experience weโve ever had. The property is stunning!! Lenny made us feel like family and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The horse riding was brilliant, the horses were calm and were perfect for first time riders. This will be a camping trip the kids will never forget! Horse riding, emu dance parties, spectacular views and cattle feeding are just a few highlights. Couldnโt fault it. Thank you Lenny and Margaret :) Weโll definitely be back!โ
