Valley View Cabin-Fosterton Retreat

Beautiful accommodation in a fully self-contained cabin, with panoramic views of the Barrington Tops. A separate queen bedroom and bathroom with spa bath, well equipped kitchenette and lounge area, full size stove and fridge, microwave, BBQ, verandah & private firepit. Linen is supplied. Ideal for a romantic weekend away. This cabin has a pull out lounge if you are travelling with friends. There is other accommodation on the 100 acre property but they are well set out to provide privacy. We call this our romantic cabin. One of only 3 dwellings on 100 mostly wooded acres, faces north, with delightful views. Sit on the verandah and watch the sunset or relax in the spa bath after a hard day’s bushwalking. Enjoy a BBQ or prepare food in the well equipped kitchenette, then later settle under the stars at your own outdoor firepit. The bathroom has a spa bath with a shower over it and there is a solar hot water system, with a booster switch near the glass front door. A half hour will reheat the water on those overcast or wintery days, so there is always plenty to go round. After waking to birdsong and wallabies grazing, take a picnic and swim in the flowing Williams River 2km away; take leisurely walks, maybe to the pristine “Die Happy” creek. Picnic blankets and picnic gear are provided for use on the property or down by the river. There are 3 labyrinths on the property: the 11 circuit, the 5 circuit or the wild one amongst the ironbark trees allow meditative walks for experiential reflection.
