The Woodsman - open fire romance in the Southern Forests

The Woodsman is now available to book via your favourite platforms! The Woodsman is a two-bedroom original 1939 timber Mill Worker's cottage in a remnant settlement based around a historic steam-powered sawmill, hidden in the hinterland of the Southern Forests' timber and truffle country.

A dark and moody King, and light and bright Queen bedroom are each layered in European flax linen bedding to keep you warm in Winter and cool in Summer, and the coziness and charm of the original Mill worker's cottage is amplified by the high ceilings, romantic open fireplace and original wood-burning kitchen stove.

Both bedrooms have ceiling fans for the occasional hot days, however the cabin does not have air-conditioning.

Snuggle up in one of the comfy sofas with your favourite book over coffee in the morning, or with your favourite person to watch the passing wildlife over a glass of the wine in the evening. The open fireplace can be lit during the cooler months to dial up the romance and cosy vibe.

The bathroom remains a rustic ode to cabin-life, and is equipped with a deep claw-foot tub for long soaks on cold nights, with a shower over the tub.

This ‘slow stay’ forest escape is designed for you to unplug from daily life and with no Wi-Fi (and limited reception for providers other than Telstra) you have the perfect excuse to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with those that matter most.

Books, board games, and 70 acres of forest trails to explore are a beautiful starting point to fill your days, and the remote location makes a surprisingly central base to explore the wider South West region. See our Airbnb guides for our recommendations on some amazing local farms, wineries and artisans to visit during your stay.

We stock a basic pantry of salt, pepper, sugar, olive oil, loose leaf teas and locally roasted coffee (with stovetop or French press options).

Outside the cabin there is an East-facing front porch, perfect for morning coffee in the sun, and an expansive West-facing deck, with room for dinner alfresco to watch the sunset migration of kangaroos through the village.

Bookings for Autumn will see the best of the South-West's Autumn colours on your journey, and Winter guests can enjoy truffle-hunting and tasting tours at many of the region's famed Truffieres or explore the many rivers, lakes and waterfalls in the area. Spring sees an abundance of wildflowers throughout the forest, as well as glorious weather for winery hopping. Summers in the forest are mild, but with plenty of lakes and rivers throughout the region you’ll have many options to cool down. Be sure to visit the local producers offering avocados, cherries, marron, nuts and more in the surrounding towns.
