It is filled with furniture and fittings handcrafted on site from reclaimed materials. Set on 26 acres nestled in its own valley with Cattai Creek meandering through, there is only one guest cottage so you can be assured of your privacy. (sorry no children or pets) The Old Shack was built around 1890 by the first landowner. It was built mainly from materials found on the property, rubble sandstone for the walls and round poles for the roof structure. It slowly fell into disrepair as a result of termite damage, fire and disuse. For the first ten years of our ownership the Old Shack was deteriorating, with large cracks in the stone walls, and holes through the rusty corrugated roof. Repairs began with the intent to house the chooks and store hay. As the renovations took place we got a little carried away, creating the distinctive retreat that you see today. We have always called it 'The Old Shack' so I guess the name will stay.

Clean and well appointed. Every need has been considered and there isn’t a thing that these thoughtful hosts haven’t provided! Just wonderful. ##### Miriam T. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Summer S., Sydney 17 Aug 2016 #### Absolute Relaxation Everything was exactly what we expected and needed. Was far enough away from the city, but not too far to have to be in the car for hours. Could not fault this property at all. Everything was clean and fresh. The owners out did themselves.. from the greet to when we left. Will definitely be going back here again an again. ##### Summer S. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cheap Hotels in High Wycombe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/High-Wycombe-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-0-d7772-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Family-Friendly Hotels in Morzine](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Morzine-Hotels-Family-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d500423-tFamilyFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [O2 Beach Club & Spa by Ocean Hotels - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Lawrence-Gap-Hotels-O2-Beach-Club-Spa-All-Inclusive.h53894415.Hotel-Information) > > [Hostels Vancouver](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vancouver-Hostels.d178315-aaHostels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Luxury Hotels in Hawaii](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Hawaii-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d213-tLuxuryHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels with Pool in Melbourne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d178283-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in West Wight](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Wight-Hotels.d6279660.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Hatfield](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hatfield-Hotels.d7746.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Civita di Bagnoregio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Civita-Di-Bagnoregio-Hotels.s50-0-d553248621532500101.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Résidence Boutique Le Centaure](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Araches-La-Frasse-Hotels-CGH-Residences-Spas-Le-Centaure.h20617502.Hotel-Information) > > [Numa Vienna Strauss](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vienna-Hotels-Sunrise-Apartments.h34989964.Hotel-Information) > > [Aja Retreat Luxury Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Aja-Retreat-Luxury-Suites.h105123080.Hotel-Information) > > [Soho Boutique Jerez ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jerez-De-La-Frontera-Hotels-Soho-Boutique-Jerez.h1129500.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeside Hotels in Switzerland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Switzerland-Lakeside-Hotel.0-0-d174-tlakesidehotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Adsuit Hotel Calabar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calabar-Hotels-Adsuit-Hotel-Calabar.h42591914.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scarborough-Hotels-Park-Manor-Hotel.h12607128.Hotel-Information) ### Flights ### Cars > [Hertz Car Rentals In Stansted](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hertz-Car-Rentals-In-Stansted.d5133395-c40.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in Lisbon District](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Lisbon-District.d178278.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Higginson Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Higginson-Park-Marlow.d553248634001078190.Attraction) > > [Fortress of Monfalcone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fortress-Of-Monfalcone-Monfalcone.d781105701219385344.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals ### General > [Visit Sharpthorne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sharpthorne.dx3000433319) ---
