Why put Rivermill on the itinerary

Why Operators Bring Their Groups Here

  • A riverside setting on the Coomera River, with open lawns, century-old fig trees and shade, that visitors rate as the reason they return
  • Peruvian Paso horses, the only rides of their kind on the Gold Coast
  • Hands-on animals: alpacas, goats, ponies, roaming chickens and ducks, and wild turtles on the river
  • Room for coaches, with 200-plus car parks across six hectares and space to keep groups apart
  • Genuine midweek availability, when your groups most need somewhere to go
  • One in-house team, so catering, activities and guiding all run together

No fixed packages

You tell us what your people enjoy and how long they have, and we build the run sheet around it. Choose any combination:
