Kestrel Nest EcoHut at Highfield is nestled in rolling farmland, perched above a rocky mountain stream. Off-grid and off-line - the perfect green getaway.

Wide verandah and large windows allow you to be close to nature, a fire place and fire pit make for cosy nights. Linger in the outdoor bath perched on the edge of the verandah. A well-equipped kitchen will have you cooking up a storm with paddock to plate produce. Wildlife, endangered birds abound. Kilometers of tracks to explore. Night skies without light pollution will have you amazed and stargazing hammocks will have you comfortable while you watch the heavens.

Far from anyone, close to everywhere, half-way between Sydney and Melbourne. Close to the Hume, the Snowy Mountains and the Sturt Hwys.
