Whether it’s a day trip or a weekend getaway that you’re planning, check out our list of reasons to bring your family to Oxbow this holiday season (and every other season, too).

Connect With Nature 

After months of school, work, and traffic, it’s time to take a break and get some fresh air. At Oxbow, the air is clean and crisp, and the birds, beetles, and animals are plentiful. The Oxbow lake system is an ecological wonderland that offers children the opportunity to partake in bird-watching, as well as learn about the unique flora and fauna in the area. 

Spend Uninterrupted Time Together 

With no distractions at Oxbow Country Estate, we offer the perfect space to spend time together as a family, doing the things that you love. Enjoy playing board games in the lounge, reading books under the trees, going fishing, or enjoying a long, lazy lunch. Whatever it is that you choose to do, do it together in a spectacular environment.

Eat Delicious Food 

Enjoy a feast for the whole family at our Sunday Restaurant, the perfect place for a post-hike brekkie or a gourmet burger after a morning of fishing. With a variety of breakfast and lunch options, as well as a kiddies menu (which includes a fun activity pack), everyone will leave with a smile on their face and a (very) full belly. 

Partake in Outdoor Activities 

For the adventurous family, there are a selection of nature trails to choose from, so pack your hiking boots, your bicycles, and your binoculars, and set off on a beautiful walk or cycle. The trails are beautiful every season of the year, and they range from easy to moderate, so you can bring the littlest members along, too. 

Relax in Luxury Accommodation

The best part? At the end of an adventurous day, you can put your kids to bed and lie back with your feet up, enjoying the comfortable accommodation that Oxbow has to offer. With a selection of beautiful 4-star bedrooms, all en-suite, you are guaranteed to sleep comfortably.
