    Perfect place to stay for nature lovers. A 40 acre bush block with a Trust for Nature Covenant. This box-ironbark woodland block has 2 dams and plenty of wildlife, a great place for bird watching. The hut has a double bed (bedding provided), gas stove with two burners and a grill, a long drop toilet, water tank (not drinkable) but drinkable water will be provided. The hut is close to one of the dams. Only one booking at a time so you won’t be sharing camping site with anyone. Owners live on the property but out of view and ear shot. A picnic set, kettle, billy, camp stove and saucepan available for use. Solar lights inside, internal wood heater outside fire pit. Note no shower. There are great bike rides off and on road, close to Cairn Curran (15km) for fishing and kayaking, also plenty of bushwalks and bird watching sites nearby. Newstead 5km away whilst Daylesford, Maldon and Castlemaine are about 25km away. Astronomy evening offered ($50 for 90min) on suitable evenings, no moon and clear skies.The hut is settled in a bush setting, near a dam. The hut has a long drop toilet close by and a water tank (not drinkable but drinkable water provided). Two internal solar lights, wood heater and external fire pit. An ice chest is also available. Double bed with bedding including sheets, pillow and pillowcases. Parking available for one vehicle. Wood for internal heater and external fire pit provided.

    Gorgeous spot for birds and quiet serenity. We loved using the fireplace and the sound of the rain on the tin roof. Megan was attentive and welcoming while also giving us our space. We’d stay again in a heartbeat.

    Cozy Woodland Hut
    A lovely secluded cabin stay! Very cosy and an off-grid vibe with beautiful nature and local fauna surrounding you. There’s an easy 3km nature walk nearby and only a short drive into the surrounding local towns. It wasn’t cold enough when we were there, but there’s a large indoor fire place and big outdoor fire bit to get cozy during the colder months. Megan and her husband were lovely and attentive hosts and have great insight into the local wildlife. There is no wifi and the cabin has solar-powered lights, so it’s perfect for a weekend escape. Highly recommend!
