We absolutely had a wonderful stay at 'The Hut' for our girls weekend away! We will be back again when we get the chance. Thanks for a wonderful time & having the place ready to walk into 👌

Great spot, very private with beautiful views. Getting down to the river was a bit of a fun challenge via the nearest walking track, easier if you go for a very short drive to the recommended swimming spot. Jessica was great, helpful and easy to communicate with

Very private spot, you have your very own part of the Clarence and are far from the road so it’s really peaceful. The access is great and surrounded by green pastures and tall gums. The views of the river and sunsets from the cabin are beautiful!

Xmas on the Clarence

With pets

The views are to die for and the hospitality is warm and welcoming. Jess is a fantastic host who has thought of everything and more to make your stay exceptional. The hut is corralled in a cattle free zone of its own, with plenty of space for a group to swag/camp in additional to the hut + donga if you prefer to sleep under the stars. Our kelpies had plenty of space for a morning run and a dip in the dam. We navigated access with our 4wd and Offroad camper trailer with no problem at all, although a 2wd especially if towing would not make it due to the uphill sections of the track. Great way to spend Xmas with rivers and national parks all around there's plenty of opportunities to explore.

Just beautiful

Group trip

The “Hut” was in an absolutely beautiful place, far enough out of the way to be completely private, but not too far to be isolated. Jessica the host was easy and a pleasure to deal with. Hut and cabin were clean and had every you need for a weekend away from the busyness of the working life.
