Eco-Adventure Tours
Night Walks are available on any night of the week - minimum 10 people. Our walk is a fun and educational stroll for about an hour and a half, enabling you to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. An optional campfire can be provided and guests may enjoy a cup of billy tea or coffee, and sample some of the great local wine and cheese.
At the Country Place our evening stroll takes place at Silvan Reservoir Park. After dinner, one of our staff members will lead your group (travelling in their own transport) to the park and introduce you to our experienced local guides.

The walk is an easy stroll over flat terrain. A low level of fitness is required, and the track is also suitable for wheelchairs.
