The Mountaintop Shack had incredible views, the photos don’t do it justice. It only had very basic ammenities so be sure to bring an Eski, bedding and shower (if staying more than one night). You will definitely need a 4WD to get to the top, but worth it once you get there! The cows were adorable and friendly, and our pup and 8month old baby had a great time exploring. John was super helpful and gave perfect directions. Thanks a million John!

Ellenborough Cabin
We stayed at Ellenborough Cabin for 4 days, and it was an incredible experience. The location is absolutely beautiful and super quiet, perfect for anyone looking to escape the hustle. The access road to the cabin is stunning, it could probably be doable but challenging with a 2WD.
The cabin itself was well-equipped, with thoughtful decoration and all the amenities we needed. The camp fridge worked great, and the beds were clean and comfortable. We had lighting and plenty of firewood, including some freshly cut logs ready for us. All in all, a fantastic stay in a peaceful spot—highly recommended!

It's a rustic cabin on a farm with a lot of cute cattle. Was really lovely sitting on the deck. its basic, dusty, and really peaceful. The host John was a nice bloke, and my friends and I found it a great getaway. The old wooden stove keeps the place cozy and warm and the beds are comfortable.

We loved the place and the stunning farm views. Our puppy had an amazing day, exploring off-leash and enjoying the open space.

Really beautiful location. Very accommodating. Plenty of firewood and all items we needed were on site. Would recommend and would go again.
For anyone reading this and planning a trip, would recommend you take bed linen though.

Mountain Top Shack
John was a fantastic host! They kept us in the loop the whole time and even made sure we wouldn't get lost on the way. provided clear instructions and helpful guides, so finding the place was a breeze. We had a wonderful experience and a truly enjoyable time – thanks in large part to John's efforts!
