WHO WE ARE
Our vision is to operate a beautiful accommodation service in a relaxing and tranquil environment catering to our diverse population. Founded in 2011 by Dianne and Michael, we aimed to create a space where individuals, including those with disabilities or seeking respite, could experience quality, accessible accommodation. Inspired by the belief that positive social and environmental interactions can profoundly impact well-being, we named our brand 'Ripples n Tonic' to reflect the ripple effect of our service on people's lives.
Every day from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m., guests are welcome to participate in feeding the animals on the farm. This includes ponies, pigs, chickens, sheep, cows, and goats. Depending on the time of year you visit us, you may also get a chance to feed calves, lambs, kid goats, or piglets!
