This place is a perfect green getaway! The place is well equipped and Louise has put thoughtful touch to every single antique furniture around the house as well as beautiful and unique decorations aro...und the house. You’ll definitely love the outdoor bath - make sure to have a book and a glass of wine nearby! If you want some “me time” or “time with nature”, this is the perfect place! You get to spot many different bird species from just sitting outside. I absolutely loved the resident cows that greeted us on our way in. The only time I left this place is to check out Yarrangobilly caves (South Glory cave and Jillabenan cave), about 1.45hr driving distance - totally worth it!

Kestrel nest was fantastic. Very relaxing but also plenty to do if you want it. We walked down to the river and ran up to the hill you can see from the cabin. Everything in the cabin was beautifully considered and clean. I will be recommending this retreat to all my friends.
