On a small Grose Vale farm you step into a slow, animal-led rhythm: a private 90-minute paddock visit with Highland cattle that combines calm, tactile contact—brushing and cuddling—with a professional photoshoot in a tranquil rural setting. The Super Deluxe Package is built as a close, unhurried encounter for two, where the animals and landscape become the stage for lasting images and quiet country memory.

THE ENCOUNTER

Hands-on time with gentle Highland cattle

Step into the barn and paddocks to brush, cuddle and connect with these placid animals—an intimate, tactile experience that is central to the visit.

THE PHOTOSHOOT

Professional countryside portraits

The package includes a professional countryside photoshoot among the cattle, allowing guests to capture the quiet, characterful portraits the setting affords.

THE FARM ROUTE

A curated paddock walk and farm discoveries

Beyond the barn, the visit moves through lower paddocks and a billabong—searching for koi—and returns via the chicken coop, with opportunities to meet more cattle and feed lucerne treats.

What the experience feels like

For 90 minutes you move at the animals' pace: a short check-in and safety briefing leads to a walk to the barn, hands-on grooming and cuddling, and a staged photoshoot with a cow or calf. The rhythm loosens as you follow staff to lower paddocks and a billabong—small discoveries like koi and eggs in the chicken coop punctuate the visit—before feeding lucerne treats and returning to the office.
