Horse Rider Reviews - Southern Cross Horse Treks (Kerewong) NSW Australia

Kerewong Is A Perfect Haven

A big thank you for a fabulous time. We love it here. The horses are stunning and so well-behaved! And how lovely to be with the 3 doggies, they are great fun. You have made us feel so welcome and all places we stayed are perfect, with views which are out of this world and friendly lovely hosts. 

Kerewong is a perfect haven and we have felt so at home. 

Shared Passion

And so this horse riding holiday draws to a close. Many thanks to Kathy for organising everything to impeccable mastery. We arrived last week as strangers who share a passion and leave as a small family as the many adventurous rides strengthened and forged bonds between us.

We soon will long for the quaint evenings around the fireplace, the company of the horses and dogs. We look forward to coming back again for more and hopefully soon enough!

Magical Arabian Horses

Julie: Everything was superb. Loved the horses, especially Jimmy. The country side is spectacular and the most exhilirating part was the beach gallop. Thank you so much for an unforgettable week.

Kathy: Thank you for giving me Toby all week. I will always remember his gentle personality, continuous endurance and kisses on the cheek. Truly a magical Arabian horse.  

Beach And Rain Forest Galloping

I will remember the fast galloping in the rain forest and on the beach as one of the best moments in my life! 

This week everything has been so perfect... and that is thanks to you Kathy! Lots of love to the horses, especially Dream! 

Freedom To Fly!

I really enjoyed the Arabian horses and the freedom to gallop!
Loved the terrain we covered on the progressive riding tour.
Lunch stops along the way were delightful, good food.

My friends and I rated the beach ride as the best we've done, as in longest, best and safest sand, and the freedom to "fly" (compared to what we've done in Costa Rica, California, Spain, Wales and Ireland).

The tour operators care and concern for the horses is exceptional. Of all the riding holidays I've been on, she was the most diligent and observant of horse and rider interactions to assure comfort. 

I highly recommend this ride to adventuresome, confident and secure horse riding folks who want to have a really great week.

Unforgettable Dream Holiday

I want to say "thanks" again for an unforgettable holiday on your farm. The seven days were just perfect: beautiful farm and area, very good food, amazing animals and a great hostess. I wish you, the dogs and the horses all the best. You've really created a dream.

An Aussie Style Adventure

Coming to Kerewong for a return visit is like seeing family again. Some things change - goodbye sweet Jambo - hello Jedda and especially little Bowie - but some things are ever as they should be. Sunshine, eucalyptus trees rustling in the forest, miles of beach, waking up with the birds and green grass.

And the horses: such a good group of characters! Happy retirees on the hillside + eager fit workers always ready to go! Handsome Jimmy with a gait like smooth flowing water was a joy to ride. Thanks Kathy for another week of fine adventure, Aussie style.

You Won't Find A Better Horsey Getaway!

My little brother and I spent a week at Kathy's place and what a week it was! Fully catered for (Kathy is an excellent cook), and very comfortable accommodation (5 star cabin complete with view). There is plenty of wildlife to enjoy (wallabies, birdlife, frogs).

And the horses! Oh, the horses! If you are expecting horses that simply "follow-the-leader", then this is not the holiday for you. Experienced riders only as the trails are very adventurous. Plenty of beautiful scenery and we went on a different trail each day. The beach ride was definitely my favourite, galloping down the shoreline like a mad-woman.

A couple of restrictions do apply, including weight limits as Arabian horses are quite small. However, Kathy is (as far as I know) adding some larger breeds to her bunch of beauties. Also, this holiday is for competent riders only due to the nature of the rides.

Price-wise, you will get serious bang for your buck! Totally worth every penny. Overall, both my brother and I will definitely be back! We both had the best time, thank you Kathy!

Perfect Tonic For A Stressful Life

Once again I must thank you and the horses for a superb experience. Kuta provided the right amount of challenge and speed and sweet Aliya is the perfect tonic for my stressful life (beyond Kerewong). Thank you Kuta and Aliya for carrying me so willingly - your fitness, spririt and expert hooves were such a joy.

Thank you as always to Kathy - the horses and dogs are a testament to your care, understanding and devotion. As I said a year ago - I hope to see you all again!

Superb Week At Kerewong

What an absolutely superb week we have had!!! Loved your horses - everyone of them! It is hard to put into words how we felt out on the trails but it more then fulfilled our expectations - breathtaking and exhilarating.

Jimmy, Kuta, Aliya and Nadal gave us their all, with their varied personalities, Arabian dances and powerful fitness. And of course we loved Jedda dog join us on some of the rides. 
We loved all the other accomodations we stayed at during our 8 day Horse Riding Trek but Kerewong Farm was our favourite. We look forward to coming back again.
