A design-led Southern Highlands escape

Nestled on a private property, Outpost Cabin at Exeter is owned and designed by Zinc Studio, an Australian design and construction company specialising in premium cabins and tiny homes.

The cabin feels wonderfully secluded, with views of the countryside and grazing cows, creating the perfect setting to slow down.

Afternoons were spent by the outdoor fire pit with a glass of wine before retreating inside to the warmth of the fireplace. The rest of my time was spent reading, sipping tea and soaking up the surrounding nature through the expansive windows, with sunrise from bed a definite highlight.

More than a peaceful escape, Outpost Cabin showcases Zinc Studio's craftsmanship, with every detail thoughtfully designed to reflect the quality, refined finishes and connection to nature that define their luxury cabin projects.

For wine lovers, Exeter Vineyard is just a short stroll down the dirt road, making an afternoon tasting the perfect addition to your stay—and with only a walk back up the hill, there's no designated driver required.

Beyond the cabin, The Southern Highlands offers plenty to explore. A visit to Fairy Bower Falls makes for a beautiful morning, while lunch at the Book Barn at Bendooley Estate pairs excellent food with the charm of one of the region's most iconic bookshops.

If you’re looking for the perfect getaway—Outpost Cabin at Exeter is hard to beat.
