• Family Fun at Hosanna Farmstay

Dad and the whole family will love a day out at Hosanna Farmstay.  Hosanna Farmstay is all about celebrating good old-fashioned fun with an immersive experience in nature and farm life.  Go for a kayak and a swim in the nearby dam, explore the creek, conquer the waterslide or head out on one of the walking trails around the farm. Don’t miss the farm tour which is a good-old-fashioned hay bale ride that gets you up close and personal with the farm animals where the kids will love getting involved in feeding the animals. Bring your picnic blankets, camp chairs and your beers, and they’ll take care of the rest. It’s the perfect place to relax and disconnect from busy routines and enjoy time with family, friends, and nature, in a gorgeous rural farm.

• Visit A Local Brewery

The Tweed is home to some seriously urban and fashionable creative young craft brewers and hip distillers.  If you’re dad loves a fresh, frothy cold one by the Coast, or sipping on craft gin and superb Agricole rum followed up with an engaging distillery tour, then he will be spoilt for choice.  Check out our blog where we take a peek at The Tweeds local breweries and distillers here…
