Galahad's Sanctuary is set on 30 picturesque acres in Gisborne with views to Mount Macedon and is an animal rescue sanctuary. Galahad's Sanctuary has rescued many animals, including camels, horses, donkeys, cows, sheep, alpacas, chickens and a rooster as well as dogs. When you stay with us, all proceeds go to the feed and care of all the animals at Galahad's Sanctuary.
The property has two dams, it is well treed with large open spaces and many wild Kangaroos, as well as Possums and Echidna's also live here. There are beautiful areas for picnics or just to sit and watch the animals. You will be able to walk around the property, however please stay out of the large animal paddocks without supervision.
Please note this is a working farm environment, it sometimes can be messy and smell like animals. Animals can be noisy e.g. a rooster who crows in the morning, and a camel who growls when she is pleased to see you. Not to mention the donkeys!
