Private Highland Cow Experience
Escape to the peaceful beauty of Bexland and spend time with our Highland cows in a calm, private farm setting.
Located in the Noosa hinterland, our Highland Cow Experience offers a chance to slow down, connect, and experience farm life in a more meaningful way. These experiences are guided, unhurried, and designed to prioritise both animal welfare and genuine connection.
All bookings are private and by appointment only.
Meet Our Highland Herd
Our Highland cows are an important part of daily life at Bexland. Each has her own personality, preferences, and way of interacting, which makes every visit a little different.
- Moofy — our independent matriarch, calm and observant, who reminds us of the value of quiet presence and respecting boundaries.
- Mootilda — Moofy’s affectionate daughter, gentle and curious, who enjoys brushing and close interaction when approached respectfully.
- Mickey D — our young calf, inquisitive and full of character, still learning about people and the world around him.
- Grace — joining our Highland herd soon.
Why Private Experiences?
At Bexland, we believe in quality over quantity.
Each Highland Cow Experience is offered as a private booking, allowing guests to enjoy time on the farm without crowds, rushing, or shared groups. This approach supports calm interactions, deeper learning, and a more relaxed experience for both people and animals.
Private bookings also allow space for conversation, questions, photographs, and simply being present with the cows and the farm environment.

Cluck & Wonder at Bexland
Early Years Farm Experiences | Ages 4–5
Cluck & Wonder is a gentle, farm-led early years experience designed especially for children aged 4–5.
These small-group sessions invite young children to explore the farm through curiosity, routine, and connection — meeting chickens, ducks, cows, and horses in a calm, supportive environment that honours their age and attention span.
This is not childcare and not a drop-in activity. Sessions are guided, predictable, and intentionally small.
What Cluck & Wonder Is About
At this age, learning happens through wonder, movement, and repetition.
Cluck & Wonder focuses on:
- becoming comfortable around farm animals
- learning simple routines and care through observation and participation
- developing confidence, empathy, and a sense of belonging on the farm
- Sessions are unhurried and responsive, allowing children to engage at their own pace.
What Children Will Experience
Each session may include:
- meeting and observing chickens, ducks, cows, and horses
- gentle involvement in farm routines (feeding, collecting eggs, brushing)
- sensory play and nature-based exploration
- quiet moments, stories, and shared discovery
Children are supported to build familiarity and confidence rather than “achieve” outcomes.
Program Format
- Ages: 4–5
- Session length: 60 minutes
- Group size: Very small groups
- Format: Guided sessions, parent involvement as advised
- Schedule: Offered in short blocks (details shared when released)
- Cluck & Wonder is designed as a beautiful first step into farm life at Bexland.
