    Surrounded by gum trees on 30 acres of private High Country bushland, the homestead is a peaceful place where you can breathe out and enjoy life's simple pleasures. The perfect base to explore the Alpine Region's bushwalking, mountain biking, kayaking, white-water rafting and trout fishing. The homestead is also a peaceful, cosy spot to relax, sit around the campfire outside or the wood stove inside, breath in the fresh mountain air and gaze at the stars. The rustic mud brick guesthouse has 10 bedrooms, 5 with ensuite and 5 upstairs with a shared bathroom. The Wilderness Retreat is popular with couples as well as larger groups of family and friends, school camps and study groups. The open-plan kitchen and living room, with a huge dining table and wood stove for heating is a perfect spot to relax, share a feast and warm up after a day exploring the Alpine Region. Outside, there is an outdoor kitchen for BBQing as well as a wood-fired pizza oven, outdoor fire heated bath, and campfire. You can explore the acres of pristine bush on the property, or venture further afield for fishing, bushwalking, mountain bike riding, or snow sports higher up in the mountains. The guesthouse is off-grid, with solar hot water, and a combination of solar and hydro power. The rustic timber beams, slate floors and mud-brick walls create a cosy atmosphere - a true country wilderness retreat. - 10 bedrooms (sleeps 20)- 5 bedrooms have en-suites - each with a double and single bed- bedrooms without en-suites have 2 singles in each- Spacious yet warm and cosy- Wood provided- Linen available- Great views- Eco details: the Retreat is solar and hydro-powered- Entertainment and bbq area with pizza oven- You and your group can have the choice of a self-contained or fully catered holiday Linen is supplied but if you would prefer to bring your own (sheets, bedding & towels) we can offer you a 10% discount, speak to your host for the code.

    How to get the family together.
    With kids
    Wonderful off-grid accommodation with helpful and welcoming hosts. Enough beds for a family gathering of 14 people. All comfy and clean. Great facilities and beautiful location ideal for hiking about and checking out historic mining sites. Lots of birds for the "twitchers".

    The perfect unplugged retreat
    With kids
    This mountain retreat is the perfect place to come with friends or family, at anytime of the year, to enjoy some unplugged quality time and explore the high country and Victorian alps. We specifically loved admiring the mountains while getting warm with the outdoor campfire, soaking in the outdoor bath, having fun making homemade pizzas in the outdoor wood pizzas oven and playing board games. The road to come here follows the river and is particularly scenic.

    Perfect for large groups
    With kids
    We had a lovely time with our large family group. The house was cosy and clean and luxurious, with a large open living, dining and kitchen area. Downstairs are 5 large bedrooms all with ensuites and double beds and another space inside each bedroom with a single bed and space for another mattress or two on the floor (Gordy provides spare foam mattresses for this purpose). It was perfect for families with young children. Upstairs are a further 4 bedrooms each with 2 single beds and another bathroom. The ensuites were lovely. The views and surrounding bush land are beautiful and there is a creek nearby. The road in is very windy so be prepared if anyone in your group gets travel sickness. Lovely grass area in front of the house for games and tracks through the bush behind. We all had a great time and would thoroughly recommend staying here.
