0U6A7417 (1) - Trek West

Congratulations on hosting your first trek!! It has been fantastic. The landscape has been impressive, the food has been amazing, best of all your attention to detail has blown me away. The washers, linen tablecloths, table decorations etc. The size of the group spot on. Well done and thanks to you Shelly and your fabulous offsiders.

Knocked my socks off! What a terrific mind escape in a vast, ancient and beautiful landscape. The camaraderie of companionship was just brilliant, a credit to the structure of the trek. All the finer details – refreshing face clothes, fine champagne, white linen tablecloths and nutritious meals topped off each stage of the trek. AMAZING!!!

Thank you Shelly, Tilly, Pete and Liz for a job well done! You’ve done a wonderful lot of hard work to give us a great experience on your beautiful property, Herbertvale. Your attention to detail was very much appreciated: Crabtree and Evelyn citron soap “and” lotion, pristine white towels, cold cold soda water and lemon, very comfy air-beds and tents, meals and glamorously laid dinner tables every night. We were the kings and queens of your grass castle.

Thank you, we will be back.

A big thanks for an amazing experience, you have delivered beyond expectations. I have really enjoyed the space, the environment, the stillness, the food and the great company. We leave here as a tribe and we met as strangers only a few days ago. Keep up the good work and be proud of what you have created.

What a great Trek West it has been! I have ticked the box! 76km of walking, powering on with lovely friends and conversations, so many laughs, good food, spectacular scenery, nice wine, beautiful dinner settings. So exciting! I will never forget The Big Loop. Keep up the excellent work – It’s a winner!

Shelly, Tilly & the team at Herbertvale Station, thank you for welcoming us so warmly into your home and country. Everything at Trek West is spot on and I couldn’t fault anything, keep doing what you are doing because you are fabulous at it.

Thank you for the most amazing experience of Herbertvale Station. Your attention to detail for our comfort and food was 15/10!

Rosanne Rowe Wellness Adventures Retreat - Stockcamp May 2018

We have just returned from the most amazing experience ever “The Stock Camp Trek” on Herbertvale Station. We had four nights at The Stock Camp which was glamping at its finest – spacious Bell Tents, flushing toilet and a hot shower!

Our days were filled trekking and exploring this magnificent part of the world – landscapes, gorges, open plains each and every direction a symphony for the eyes. It was also fascinating to talking to Shelly and Tilly and learning about life on the land. I will now look at a steak on the supermarket shelf a different way – I’ll see the steak and now know the story behind it.

One absolute hands down highlight was walking into The Lost City.
Historians, geologists, scientists, archaeologists and palaeontologists please take a deep breath….. a really really deep breath – It was part of an inland sea and is over 530 million years old. I can barely fathom that number as I say it and then type it! It was jaw dropping awe inspiring to walk amongst a history that was home to the trilobites.

All of the meals were delicious and plentiful. Sunset drinks on our first night was spectacular – beautiful cheese platter and plenty of champagne whilst watching the most magnificent sun set! Our last night’s meal at The Stock Camp was a steak, from Herbertvale Station, cooked on hot plate over a roaring fire. Mouth watering, delicious and a great finale to a wonderful four days!

Thank you Shelly and Tilly for being absolutely fabulous hosts and making the “Stock Camp Trek” and the “Long Lunch” such a memorable experience and one we will all never forget.
