If you dream of leaving the modern world behind and immersing yourself in the great outdoors, then a stay at 'Blake's Hut' could be just the ticket.
The Hut is located a short drive from Swifts Creek on the Great Alpine Road, in the remote and ruggedly beautiful Tambo Valley. The Hut is an authentic property with the original hut dating back to 1952. It is located on Woodlands farm, an 1,800 acre cattle farm offering homely accommodation and warm hospitality. An hour from Dinner Plain & Mount Hotham and a stone’s throw from the Tambo River and a short drive to the Mitta Mitta and Cobungra Rivers. It’s an ideal base to explore the region’s fantastic cycling, mountain biking, bushwalking, skiing, seasonal white-water rafting & fly fishing. And when you come home, you can enjoy a hot shower, tasty meal, and campfire under a blanket of a million stars.
The Hut is a comfortable and rustic cabin with a wood burning fire. Our remoteness means that mobile reception is limited, ideal for a "digital detox". But with outdoor opportunities galore, you'll want to ditch your phone and immerse yourself in nature.
During your stay you can choose to be completely self-sufficient or visit the local towns of Swifts Creek and Omeo to purchase local produce or eat at a local restaurant. Cook indoors or if you’d prefer to cook outside watching the sun set, you can use the BBQ area, seating 8 people with a large deck overlooking the mountains.
Pets are welcome but we ask that you kindly let us know when booking.

My name is Lily and my husband Tyler and I live in Melbourne with our 1 year old Golden Retriever Raf. We love getting away on weekends, especially to our family farm in Country Victoria. We want to share our unique property with others so they too can experience this beautiful part of the world.
