Your perfect basecamp for a weekend or holiday - travel, trek, drive, cycle and return to the comforts of our cottage in the evening.
In the 1880s as the mighty goldrush in nearby Copeland ended, our old weatherboard farm cottage was hauled by bullock dray to her current location on the banks of the Barrington River.
Word on the street is that when the Old Schoolmaster retired to this historic cottage he brought the old corrugated iron school hall with him. You can see why he wanted to retire here - peace, privacy and the spectacular outlook: uninterrupted views up to the Buccan Buccans (Bucketts Mountains) and over working river flats.
