Reconnect with nature

Set in the serene Tanjil Valley at the base of the Baw Baw foot hills in West Gippsland and only a 1.5 hours drive from Melbourne and a short 45 minute drive to Mt Baw Baw Alpine Resort. With spectacular mountain views, relax on the deck or Alfresco areas and enjoy a glass of local wine surrounded by native birds and wildlife. During those icy cold winter months just sit in front of the wood fired heater watching the snow fall on Mount Baw Baw. Try your luck down by the River flowing through the property for some rainbow trout. Relish cooking your catch in the undercover barbecue pergola surrounded by fresh mountain air and the company of family and friends. Select from two architecturally designed cottages each with their own distinct styling.

Just relax & Unwind

Or if you prefer, you can just sit back relax, enjoy the wildlife and the scenery.

Our family (2 adults and 2 children) stayed for two nights in the Blackwood Cottage and we had a great time. The cottage was well kept, clean, with new furniture (fridge, microwave, oven, shower, etc.). The wood fireplace created a very cosy atmosphere in winter. The kids loved the bunk beds in the second room. We were surrounded by beautiful scenery of mountain/farmland/forest. The host (Callum) was friendly and helpful. The cottage is about 1 hour from Toorongo Falls and Mt. Baw Baw. 20 minutes to Blue Rock Lake. It's a great place to unwind and relax. We will definitely come back.

Fantastic. Loved the cottage and the location. The cottage is new and well maintained, the location is quiet and peaceful and enjoyed the walking trails within the property. The host was easy and pleasant to communicate with and made effort to make our stay enjoyable. We hope to stay again.

Beautiful quiet spot nestled in the foothills below Mt Baw Baw.
With walking tracks through bushland that leads to a dam with a small Jetty. The only place I would want to be with stage 3 COVID-19 restrictions starting today. Again. 2 cottages next to each other. I hope this place survives the crisis, defiantly want to go back again.

We spent 2 nights at the Blackwood cottage and we loved it. Cottages are super clean, functional and nicely seperated to provide maximum privacy. Views are amazing. Fireplace makes it super cozy. Access to the forest at the door steps. About 1h drive to Alpine Trout Farm and Trestle Bridge in Noojee.
