Guesthouse is cosy and not too many guests - the kitchen is particularly great and offers an undercover BBQ area as well as the indoor kitchen, clearly set up by keen cooks! We loved the setting and that chooks took care of the scraps. The shower is terrific.
Maydena is a special place, the push off point to visit the world renowned and only recently protected trees of the Styx Valley. See the Wilderness Society for a guide to the area - the majority of tourists never make it here and the logging companies don't maintain the tracks that well to discourage visitors - but be brave! These trees are spectacular and much more beautiful than the sequoia giants famed in north america, in my opinion. Mt Field is also good and a bit easier with kids.
