What a brilliant experience - family getaway, gorgeous clean cabins, beds super comfy. Host welcoming and SO generous with their time showing us round the farm and letting us help with the feed run.
Theresa and Matt are lovely hosts with a beautiful property. You can tell that the animals at the sanctuary are so loved and well cared for. We will be back again for sure!
We stopped for one night on route from Canberra to Melbourne. It was a perfect stop and great respite for our 3 year old daughter. The animals are amazing and the hosts were very friendly! Just make sure you bring lots of warm clothes if visiting in winter.

This was the perfect getaway for a couple of days. Our 3 and 4 year old absolutely loved helping Theresa to feed all of the animals. Theresa is very kind and patient with kids and was incredibly warm. We loved hearing all of the farm sounds as we woke each morning. Incredibly peaceful and relaxing place to stay! Highly recommend!
We needed a country break away from the busyness of life. Willuna delivered! My kids require internet and a pool, I wanted them to have a different holiday, we all were happy! Theresa was the perfect host, explaining things on repeat to my ADHD, ASD kids. The animals were beautiful, Tommy was a gentleman, Raymond was a delight and Nala was so sweet. Each of my boys had their favourite animal and the fireplace in the shed made great S’mores on our last night.
Wiluna Sanctuary is inspiring and worth a couple of nights stay.
Really enjoyed our stay! It was everything we were looking for. Very relaxing and away from the hustle and bustle. Our 4 year old and puppy had a fantastic time and know that the experience will be etched into their memories for years to come. The hosts were absolutely beautiful people and we really admire their lifestyle and the accommodation they have gone with. Highly recommend for anyone looking for that taste of country life and a disconnect from city life. Thank you for having us and look forward to seeing you again :)
