The best experience ever! - Well what can I say. It was a dream come true to visit this beautiful property. It was a bucket list experience. We did the Grand Day Out package and it was well worth it. On arrival we had the most amazing freshly baked scones with Devonshire tea and then went on a personal tour with Taylor as our guide. To see these amazing horses living life was truly magical. Taylor was amazing and truly loves what she does and after the tour we had a beautifully presented grazing platter and lunch. Everyone there was so welcoming and friendly. Even the CEO himself came and introduced himself to us. It’s a must thing if you are a horsey person like me.

Loved Living Legends - Excellent tour. It was great getting up close and personal to some champion racehorses. The tour guide was informative and took time for patrons to enjoy the experience.

Wonderful Experience - Absolute amazing experience. What a great way to spend a few hours with these wonderful horses. Highly recommend that you do the guided tour, and the staff can point out which is which horse as well as getting up close to feed and pat these amazing animals. These horses are much loved by the staff and their knowledge of the horses racing career is outstanding. Living Legends is only 6 mins by Uber from Melbourne airport and is easily assessed from there. If you have a couple of hours to kill while waiting for your flight i recommend this and the staff will let you leave your luggage safety behind the counter. If you love horses, this is one experience that you don't want to miss. It was wonderful to meet these equine champions.

Racehorse Heaven - Did a tour of Living Legends, including lunch at Holgate Brewery and wine tasting at Hanging Rock Winery. Morning tea with huge scones, jam & cream at the homestead was followed by a fantastic guided tour of all the retired champion race horses, including some from Hong Kong. Tayla was a great tour guide. Her knowledge and love for the horses was exceptional. We then were taken for lunch and wine tasting by Tamara from Top Oz Tours. She was a great host, very professional and knowledgeable. Great day, would highly recommend.

Probus Visit - Our Probus club visited 23 March 2022. We started with morning tea consisting of two large delicious scones, jam and cream with tea or coffee. There was a large golf buggy driven by our guide available for anyone who did not want to walk. Our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and happy to answer our many questions. It was great to hear about the horses history and their personalities.

Amazing day out - Wow what a great day out. We visited Living Legends today 27/3/2022 and had an amazing time. To see these enquire champions up close and feeding them carrots was as good as it can get. They are beautiful and have great personalities. The guide and her assistant who was on work experience added to the experience and like all of us present clearly had a close for these wonderful athletes. The location is steeped in history and is a real sanctuary yet so close to Melbourne and it’s airport. The rest of the staff including the tall girl in the living legends attire while served us the scrumptious scones and tea as well as the young girl behind the counter were also a credit to the organisation. I thoroughly recommend a visit and booking a tour as it really is a great day out. Cheers Sean
