As the sun set across the rolling foothills of the Great Dividing Range our own little patch of serenity at Daisy Hill lit up in hues of pink and gold. We raced up the hill from our Boathouse beside the dam to witness the evening light paint the surrounding mountains like a watercolour, the waters of Bonnie Doon reflecting the sky. The farm's very own alpacas came to say hello, curious of our sunset chasing. Up top we found the perfect spot for a summer bbq, where we could relax after a day of exploring, awaiting the wonder of the Milky Way to come into view.

The Boathouse was cute and cosy, a queen size cottage on the water's edge that had everything we needed - and our very own jetty which made for the perfect spot for a wine and cheese, or fresh eggs the next morning. Kangaroos frequented the gardens around the lodge and happy frogs in the lake provided the soundtrack for our stay.

The summer heat sent us chasing waterfalls and local cascades as cooling off during our adventures became the top priority. How incredible it was to drive to tracks of the southern high country where we found Bindaree Falls and lost ourselves in nature - these tranquil waterfalls clearly one of the area's best kept secrets.

I can imagine a stay at Daisy Hill in winter would be equally satisfying, with the ski slopes only a short drive away and a beautiful log fire to relax beside at the end of your day. Year round this little beauty has something for everyone!
