Wildhorse Homestead Week 35 & 36 Journal | Spring, Sprinklers & South African Flavours
Spring has arrived at Wildhorse Homestead with blooming gardens, Maremma puppies, a South African braai, fresh turmeric and delicious Lemon Myrtle shrub recipes.
Farmstay accommodation, wellness treatments, farm-made pantry goods and practical equipment hire from our biodynamic homestead in the Bauple region.
Every journey has a beginning, and this is ours. Luni and Obi’s first litter marks the start of the Wildhorse Homestead breeding program—a program built on trust, thoughtful breeding and raising Maremmas with the opportunity to become the calm, capable guardians they were bred to be. Over the next twelve weeks we’ll be documenting every milestone, from their very first days through to the moment they leave for their forever homes, inviting you to follow their journey alongside us.
Our cozy, fully-equipped tiny house accommodation offers the ultimate nature immersion without sacrificing modern comfort, featuring a plush queen bed, a gas-heated hot shower, a well-equipped kitchenette, and full split-system air conditioning. Unwind to the gentle soundtrack of the flowing creek right outside your door—where you might even spot our resident platypus—and share your stay with passing native wildlife and our friendly farm animals. Perfectly situated in the peaceful foothills of the Bauple Mountains, this rural retreat seamlessly pairs tranquil farm life with easy regional access, sitting just 30 minutes from Gympie and 35 minutes from the K’gari (Fraser Island) ferry.
We are pet friendly and can accomodate small families with room to set up an adjacent camp site.

Founded in 2024 by Michelle and De Wet in Glenwood, Queensland, Wildhorse Homestead is a chemical-free sanctuary born from the founders’ personal journeys through burnout and disconnection.
Combining De Wet’s extensive background in elite sports, military aviation, and holistic recovery with their shared commitment to long-term health, the pair transformed their lives to focus on restoration.
Situated at the foothills of Mount Bauple, the homestead bridges the gap between land and clinic, offering small-batch spices and apocathary remedies from the land, a plant nursery, and wellness studio designed to help others regulate their nervous systems.

I can very highly recommend Wildhorse Homestead, very welcoming lovely people and helped me so much more than I could have expected. Physically and mentally. As well as the natural products to go with it and the knowledge behind them.
I had a great experience, learnt a lot of things about my body, have learnt some stretches to help ease my muscle tightness in between visits as well. Very friendly and professional, highly recommend and will be returning.
I received my packet of Lemon Myrtle Tea and love it! It is so refreshing and aromatic to sip on in the morning. Definitely recommend this tea from Wildhorse Homestead to anyone who enjoys a good cup of herbal lemon tea
De Wet was knowledgeable and helpful sharing specific stretches to help alleviate tight hip areas. Massage was relaxing and therapeutic, just what I needed! I'll definitely be returning for another
Website is easy to navigate with high quality products to choose from. I enjoyed having the bundles to choose from.
Hired a trailer from Wildhorse Homestead. The whole process was super easy. Online payment was straightforward, and had the trailer hooked up to the car two minutes later. The equipment was reliable and in good condition, and the people were friendly and helpful.
