We made a midwinter journey to this wonderful little cabin with our two children (2.5yrs & 9m) and it was everything we'd hoped for. A rustic, bucolic breath of fresh air nestled between tall timber and rolling hills. The wood heater provided warmth and ambience, and the kitchen provided everything we needed come meal times. The beds were clean and comfortable with plenty of extra blankets on hand. The main living/kitchen space is cozy but not cramped, thanks in part to the high ceiling lined with beautiful reclaimed timber.

The view from the porch looks east over the homestead and lush rolling paddocks, making for breathtaking sunrises. After sunset, the Milky Way fills the sky with all its awe-demanding epicness, untainted by light pollution and set to the sounds of nature.

With all of its rustic charm, draughts are to be expected, so start the fire earlier on the chilly evenings and bring a nice pair of thick socks or slippers to get about the cabin and you'll be fine. There's also two small electric heaters available which worked a treat in the bedrooms after the fire had died down in the early hours.

This place really is a gem. Located far enough from Pemberton to feel isolated, yet close enough to be convenient if you need supplies. No phone reception is also a beautiful thing. Being cleaved from the tyranny/habit of 24/7 connectedness is refreshing to say the least. If it's a simple rural getaway you're after, this is definitely one to consider.
