This beautifully renovated forestry hut is located behind our main house, in our little piece of paradise. On 63 acres, home to Fay, Bushie, two horses, one dog , this oasis is tucked away with the only neighbour looking at us being Mt Buffalo, or as the locals call her, The Grand Old Lady.

The property hosts an abundance of native birds, Mr Wally wombat, deers and kangaroos. Backing on to State Forest, there are many walks from a 20min walk to a 2-4 hour walk in the hills or quietly along the river. You have access to BBQ facilities and a pool in the summer months.

The naming of the love shack came about upon purchasing the property some 13 years ago. Fay's father, at the time 90 years of age, and his girlfriend, 91 years of age, automatically named it the Love Shack as they envisaged, once renovated, them sitting in bed, playing cards and taking in the view and so the name stuck. In keeping with the name, we have created a luxurious, romantic space for two.

Here’s a refined version that keeps the warmth and personality of your review:

A fantastic place to relax, recharge, and truly unwind. Private, secluded, and surrounded by nature, Fay & Bushies Love ...Shack exceeded all of our expectations.

We stayed for two nights and three days and loved every minute of it. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and a good old-fashioned chin-wag, helping us quickly leave behind the stresses of the 4+ hour drive from Victoria’s west coast.

The Love Shack is less than 10 minutes from Bright and within easy reach of the stunning Victorian High Country peaks, making it the perfect base for both relaxation and adventure.

We highly recommend the Love Shack to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. The hospitality, serenity, and beautiful surroundings made for a memorable stay, and we can’t wait to return. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Yoga With The Birds

If yoga's your thing we strongly suggest packing your mats and getting up with the birds to practice a few rounds of sun salutations on the back porch. Is there any other way to start the day?

Mount Buffalo

We hiked from the Eurobin Creek car park to the top of Mount Buffalo.

Eurobin Falls

Relax with a picnic taking in the sights and sounds of the mesmerising Eurobin Falls. In the warmer months, you can have a refreshing dip at Ladies Bath, just 400m from the car park. (1.5km, 45 mins return)

Mt Buffalo Walk

If you like a challenge Fay can guide you on a walk from the foot of Mt Buffalo to the top, which is about 10kms, stopping off at the waterfalls along the way. Bushie will collect you and drive you back down the mountain.

Canyon Walk

Canyon Walk - 4 km / 1.5 hours return
This walk takes you past a small canyon carved by the Ovens River and water races dug by early miners. Watch for birdlife and wild owers especially in spring.
