The Age, 52 Weekends Away. Oct 2005" ...it was so cosy that I could have spent the day nesting on the couch, pretending to be Evelyn Waugh in front of the fire while watching the chooks and the Kookaburra on the lawn and the grey clouds scud across the mountain tops..."

Our English shepherds hut is a very special hideaway! Curl up on the daybed and watch the garden grow. Read a book, write a poem, and pen a postcard!
Keep cosy with a bottle of Yarra Valley Red and a platter by candlelight. A romantic place to propose……..
The shepherds hut is a cosy escape in winter or a delightful summerhouse during the warmer weather!
Shepherds huts were designed to be home to the shepherd who could not afford to leave his flock for long. A warm place to nurture a sick baby lamb. These days, our shepherds Hut offers our guests a special vantage to enjoy the garden in all seasons. A beautiful daybed and fire add to the romantic ambience
Designed and built by Robert at Folly Farm with traditional workmanship including amazing forged wheels made by a local Hills, third generation blacksmith.
Perfect for meditation or a romantic dinner…..
