A new family-run farm experience has recently launched just outside Gympie, offering visitors a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with farm life. Highland Hideaway Experiences, located in the rural area of Lower Wonga (just 20 minutes from Gympie and an hour's drive from Noosa on the Sunshine Coast), is all about giving families, nature lovers, and farm enthusiasts a fun and hands-on way to experience life on the farm.
A Story of Resilience and Passion for Farming
Founded this year, Highland Hideaway Experiences was born from the personal journey of farm owner Trevor, who faced a battle with rare cancer. His experience inspired the family to embrace each moment and share their love for farming with others. What started as a dream is now a reality, providing a chance for visitors to connect with nature and the animals in a truly special way.
What Highland Hideaway Offers:
Highland Hideaway is all about family-friendly experiences, designed to bring visitors close to the animals and the peaceful beauty of the countryside. The farm features several key attractions:
Meet the Highland Cattle: The stars of the farm, these friendly giants—Cupcake, Apollo, Blinky Bill, and their friends—are sure to steal your heart. These shaggy-coated, horned beauties come from the Scottish Highlands and have a charming, photogenic appeal that makes them the perfect companions for a day on the farm.
Farmyard Friends: The farm offers plenty of hands-on experiences with baby sheep, playful goats, curious piglets, and more. Visitors can watch the goats leap with joy, help bottle-feed the baby sheep and piglets, or simply enjoy spending time with the lovable animals. It’s a perfect setting for families, especially young children, to engage with farm life.
Breathe in Nature: Located on vast, rolling fields surrounded by fresh country air, Highland Hideaway provides a true escape from the hustle and bustle. It's a place where visitors can unwind, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the rural landscape.
Small Group Farm Tours: The farm offers intimate, small group tours, ensuring a personalized experience for all visitors. Whether you’re a family with kids, a farm enthusiast, or simply someone looking to enjoy nature, Highland Hideaway offers something for everyone.
