A bright, spacious timber cabin, on a beautiful 11-acre off-grid property, nestled in the pristine Monga National Park.

The private cabin is set apart from the main house on a quiet property, only 16min to the lively town of Braidwood. The property is beside the Jembaicumbene Creek, surrounded by Monga National Park, and full of native wildlife, birds and untouched bush.

There are trails to hike through the rainforest, where you have the chance to see wombats, echidnas & if you're lucky the spectacular lyrebird.

The rustic style cabin is decked out in mid-century and designer furniture and features large windows opening out to views of an uninterrupted eucalyptus valley.

An off-grid haven of peace and tranquillity, it is a perfect place to relax, unwind and explore the Monga National Park.

CABIN DETAILS
The cabin features a large open plan living and bedroom space with kitchenette and bathroom, plus a secluded outdoor area to sit and enjoy the private view.

The kitchenette is equipped with a fridge and a gas cooktop, plus quality cookware, so you can self-cater.

Access to the Monga National Park and its hiking trails is just a short walk from the cabin door.

Our house is close by, up the hill so we are available for information and local advice if you need.

Superb little off grid cabin. Perfect for relaxing and being unplugged. The cabin is tasteful, in a beautiful leafy spot with an abundance of bird and animal life. Fabulous selection of books and the little fire wood stove was so cosy. Highly recommend.

Had such a great time! It was the most perfect amount of quiet. Walking up to the birds in the morning and the sun peaking through the trees was beautiful. The shower window was our favourite, plus the indoor fire place. Great choice of books as well!

Monga Mountain Retreat was exactly what we were hoping for. The cosiest, most comfortable little cabin with everything you could need. Amazing attention to detail. Waking up to the view of the trees and the sound of the birds was just perfect! We will be back for sure.
