Hidden from view by stunning eucalypts and rolling green hills, as you meander up the winding driveway you eventually reach a charming log cabin nestled amongst the trees.
Approximately 6 acres in size, the land is undulating with a natural spring water stream running through one side and direct access to state forest and Mount Emu. If you are a nature, biking or hiking enthusiast this property is for you!
Welcome.
On the foothills overlooking Mount Bogong, we’ve turned an original hand-built log cabin into a private getaway. Our ambition - provide an escapism that positively influences all those who visit. Moncrief Log Cabin is intimate and comfortable. A place to unwind and embrace the simple pleasures of nature and life.
Stay.
Positioned so that you are protected from the hot summer sun, cool breezes are filtered through the fernery. With its rustic hand-built stone fireplace, inviting living room, Moncrief is also a cosy winter cabin. There are two bedrooms and one bathroom with an additional loft space that offers an extra sleeping area.
Sleep.
The main bedroom has a generous king bed and direct access to the shared bathroom and living room. Soak up the stunning views from the comfort of your bed.
The second bedroom is located upstairs and features two single beds that can be made into a king bed if needed. The easterly aspect floods this room with beautiful morning light.
The third bedroom is an open space upstairs and consists of one single bed.
Imagine the tranquility of falling asleep in your sumptuous bed, lulled by the bubbling stream and then awakening to birdsong.
Play.
The cabin is secluded, yet only 10 minute drive to Mount Beauty. The area has a plethora of activities for the outdoor enthusiast and with Mount Bogong on your doorstep, you will find a number of bush walks close by.
Restore.
Enjoy full moons and sunrises, rainwater and summer breezes, films and books, wood fires and outdoor games, mountain biking and bushwalking, alfresco dining and breakfast in bed. And especially, the good company you bring.
Guest Access.
You will have complete privacy and access to the entire cabin. The grounds are yours to enjoy, a beautiful space to explore. There are two sheds on the property that are for private use only.
Other things to note.
All bedding provided, including towels.
Moncrief Log Cabin is a private abode for one to five guests that invites you to experience the natural beauty of the Victorian High Country. The perfect place to stop and exhale.

We had a beautiful, relaxing stay at the Moncrief Log Cabin. I have been recommending it to all our friends! Check in and out was easy, beds were comfortable, quiet and rejuvenating environment to spend a few days.

We stayed here over the Easter period 2026. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer place. Well stocked with kitchen and all the amenities you would need. The hosts have thought of everything!
The under floo...r heating is a nice touch on the cooler nights / mornings.
End of the road there is some fantastic hikes and 4WD tracks!
Lots to do around town, or just sit by the fire and read a book and enjoy the bird song!
There is house riding only a few Kms away, or drive to Bright which is only 30min away through the windy hills.
Really memorable experience - thank you 🥰

Adventures Nearby
Here are some details about the adventures nearby. Refer to the map for their location.
Mountain Creek Gateway To Mount Bogong
Mountain Creek is a campground and the starting point for many different routes up Mount Bogong. There are also a couple of shorter strolls that take in the magnificent ferns and river. Enjoy a short but pleasant walk or begin the trek to the top of the mountain from here.
Coffee Bread And Lunch At Mount Beauty Bakery
We grabbed a coffee, lunch, donuts and fresh bread for the next morning. It's a good pit stop for a day of adventures.
Crank Handle Brewery
Nice, relaxed brewery on the main road. There's a beer garden perfect for enjoying a refreshing drink on a sunny autumn's day. Loved their XPA!
Mount Beauty Gorge
An easy, but rewarding, return hike. The 3–4 kilometres take you into the gorge, across the suspension bridge and back again. Lovely views with crystal-clear running water.
Mount Bogong Lookout And Autumn Colours
The Mount Bogong lookout is just on the way into Mount Beauty. We checked out the view of Bogong and went for a little stroll from there to witness the beautiful colours of Autumn. The road into town was lined with the most colourful of trees. Stunning views anytime of the year.

Falls Creek And Mount Bogong High Plains
Explore the rich alpine history alive in the hills and aqueducts surrounding Falls Creek. The walking and hiking trails expose you to the beauty and majesty of the Bogong High Plains.
Explore the undulating plains for the vibrant alpine wildflowers, breathe the clean air and take in the beautiful views. If you are lucky you might also catch a glimpse of wild brumbies.
Historic huts, regenerating fire-damaged snow gums and Mt Bogong itself are a constant reminder of the living spirit of the region.
