LUXURY OFF GRID ACCOMMODATION RIVERINA HIGHLANDS
Kestrel Nest EcoHut, is the perfect off-grid and off-line (no phone or internet) eco-retreat for couples and small families. An eco-retreat doesn’t mean you go without. Solar panels and batteries will guarantee energy for your stay, while panoramic double-glazed windows will allow glorious views. Linger in the outdoor bath.
We called our hut after the magnificent Kestrel – the ONLY bird we saw near EcoHut for two weeks following the ‘19-’20 Black Summer Fires, which nearly consumed our hut while it was still being built.
A well-equipped kitchen will have you cooking up a storm with our farm-fresh produce and locally-sourced produce available for purchase. We also have special hampers and local wine.
You’ll stay warm and cosy with an internal wood fireplace and fire pit outside during the winter months and cool and refreshed during the summer.
The night sky will have you amazed – marvel at the heavenly show via our stargazing hammocks.
Our aim is to offer memorable experiences that are accessible and inclusive. Our Inclusivity and Accessibility policy is provided to help guests plan their stay.
