Take yourself back in time with a unique slow stay experience in a late 1800s bark hut. Located on a working farm that backs onto the bushland of the Wingello State Forest, you can transport yourself away from the day-to-day, immerse yourself in nature and get back to basics.
Stringy Bark Hut is brimming with old world charm. It's rustic, it's earthy and it's one of the few remaining huts of its kind.
Originally built by a family of timber cutters in the mid 1890s, who lived in the hut with their nine children. Restored in 2017, the hut's heritage character has been carefully preserved.
Beautifully fitted out with a few little luxuries to ensure your comfort, Stringy Bark hut offers the perfect destination for a romantic weekend, a memorable family experience or a fabulous trip with friends.
You will wake up to trill of morning bird song and kangaroos feeding on the surrounding pasture. Moments walk from your hut, you'll find yourself in the adjoining forest surrounded by 100 year old gums - perfect for forest bathing, spotting the resident lyrebirds or just taking in enormous big gulps of fresh air. You'll come home from your adventures to a hot shower and a cold drink on the verandah, overlooking views of the valley.
The hut has two bedrooms, a queen bed in the master bedroom and a bunk room with two singles. The bathroom (inside the hut) offer hot showers and a flushing toilet.
The hut runs totally off grid, running off solar for power.
