We are the highlight of our guests' holidays!

"We spent 3 nights in Daylesford/Hepburn Springs and our nocturnal wildlife tour with Scott was definitely a highlight. We saw four wombats, two brush tail possums, two greater gliders and a lot of kangaroos. Scott was an awesome host, with lots of interesting local knowledge and animal facts. We really enjoyed our tour and I would recommend it to everyone visiting the area."

"I loved everything about this tour. Not only did we get to watch quite a few wombats, but we also got to see kangaroos and wallabies and learn about the animals in the process. My expectations were exceeded. I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone. And bring a big bottle with you so you can stock up on mineral water!"

"A very enjoyable ride with Scott , he is a very good tour guide he knows the area like the back of his hand and his spot ability is amazing , we show some kangaroos and 5-6 wombats , owls, other animals and a nice view of the Australian wildlife in the night time , take the chance to do that while you are there."

"This is such a brilliant set-up because it's the perfect way to see Victoria's wildlife whilst enjoying some home-comforts off the beaten tourist track. We saw so much cool stuff; 'roos, kookaburras, bats, possums, wombats (inc cuboid wombat poo), AND an echidna. Scott is so friendly & fun- if anyone can find the animals, it's him. Being invited into his home to meet his lovely family & have a home-cooked meal was such a treat. This was definitely one of the highlights of my trip down East-coast Australia- thanks Scott!! :D"
