    Beautiful spot which had everything we needed. Particularly enjoyed having the log burner and wood fired bath. Penny gave us a warm welcome and had even left some chocolate brownie out for us. (Don’t know if that happens every time)

    Off grid, quiet and peaceful. Beautiful. Very close to Hamner Springs but feels very rural.

The Shepherds hut is set in private grounds with lovely gardens beside a pond . The pond level changes with the seasons. The hot tub is under weeping willows beside the pond
I love gardening, travelling and meeting new people . I am also a wedding celebrant and hold small weddings on the property.
Lovely quiet rural neighbourhood just 4kms outside of Hanmer Springs known for its thermal pooks, mountain biking , walking , shopping and eateries .
