New at Historic Rivermill!
Gentle, ground-based animal sessions designed with NDIS participants and carers in mind.
🦙 Alpaca Therapy:
Private: one-on-one time with a calm alpaca on flat, accessible ground. Sit, hand-feed, pet, or take a short level walk at your own pace.
Shared: the same calm experience for up to three guests sharing one alpaca, perfect for siblings, friends or a small group.
🐴 Equine Recreational Therapy: a ground-based session with a gentle horse alongside a trained handler. Brush, hand-feed and enjoy quiet contact. No riding required.
Carers attend free on every session. Wheelchair-friendly paths, unhurried pace, and animals chosen for their temperament.

NEW DATE! Don’t miss it! 🎉
A farm in the Gold Coast hinterland where you can dine in nature, meet the animals and go horse riding 🐴
30 minutes from the city and it feels like a completely different world.
This is your sign to get off the Gold Coast strip for a day.

Feeding animals and spotting turtles by the river 🐢
This is what a weekend in the Gold Coast hinterland actually looks like.
Alpacas, goats, a pig, and turtles right along the Coomera River… all for $4 a feed.
Kids love it. Adults love it more than they’ll admit. 😉
