Good to know

Step into the charm of Gumnut Cottage Gippsland, a 26m² Hamptons-style eco-house that blends sustainability with luxury. The snug king-sized bed, with 45cm around the edges, offers a cosy retreat (note: may not suit all guests). Primarily off-grid, the cottage has back-up grid-power for peace of mind. Every detail is designed to show that sustainable living can be both elegant and chic. Inside, lofty pitched ceilings with exposed beams create a breezy, open feel. The bedroom is dressed in luxe linens for restful sleep, while the ensuite features an extra-large shower with waterfall head, fluffy robes, goat milk soap, and complimentary slippers. Complimentary extras include tea, coffee, cereal, pancake mix, biscuits, primas and bottled water (still and sparkling). Tasting platters are a popular addition - available by request at additional cost. Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries or a romantic getaway. Message us after booking for details! Outdoors, enjoy golden light on the 30m² deck with a romantic dinner at your dedicated outdoor bar, or relax with evening games and picnics beneath festoon lights. Take a refreshing dip at Blue Pool swimming hole, spend time at Lake Glenmaggie—with space to bring your own boat or jet ski (ample parking on site)—or set out on nearby bush trails, winery visits, and country town adventures. Your stay also includes thoughtful touches like a photo wall for memories, a picnic basket and rain jackets for outings, and board games for laid-back nights in. A curated guest book—online and in print—guides you to Central Gippsland’s best itineraries, eateries, and hidden gems. Gumnut Cottage Gippsland isn’t just accommodation—it’s an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and embrace the beauty of the region. Exclusively for couples and solo travellers over 21, it’s the perfect place to unwind and recharge.

Accessibility

Neighborhood

Stunning panoramic mountain and valley views on edge of state forest, twelve minutes into the local township of Heyfield (with supermarket, pub, cafes, parks etc).

Guest Access

Gumnut Cottage Gippsland is set on 2.5 acres and surrounded by a growing food forest of annuals, perennials, and over fifty fruit trees, with mountain, valley, and bush views. The property forms part of a small rural acreage community, with neighbouring homes located on adjoining 2.5-acre blocks and visible from parts of the property. As this is a working acreage, guests may occasionally notice light property maintenance such as mowing or tending to gardens and animals. Friendly resident animals, including Babydoll Sheep, Australian Miniature / Pygmy Goats, and Heritage Hens, live on the property. Our residence is located at the rear of the block, while the cottage itself is fully self-contained. Guests have a dedicated carport and simple, contactless self check-in via lockbox. The indoor fireplace (April–September) and outdoor fire pit (June–August, weather permitting) are available by request for a set fee per bag of firewood.

Such a quiet location, just the birds and animals for company. But close to food options as well. Nothing :-) you do need to know the king bed has minimal room around it though

What an amazing stay, I am so lucky I found this place for a little getaway to the country! The tiny home has everything you might need within it, and has the most beautiful views out the main window. The deck where I spent each morning watching the sunrise is so spacious and I cannot begin to describe how peaceful this stay is! The animals on the property as a bonus. Mel was such an amazing host, in contact with clear instructions consistently before and at the end of the stay which was very much appreciated. I cannot recommend this stay enough (in fact I’ve already passed on the details to members of my family that loved all my pictures and videos!) I will be back! Thank you Mel! 🥰

My best friend and I stayed at Mels beautiful property the weekend just gone and we both have never had such a kind and caring welcome! The Cottage was stunning and was filled with goodies and plenty of fun games me and my best friend stayed up all night playing and admiring the scenery! The extras that are offered are well and truely worth it! We chose the farm animal photography package and we had the best time! Mel made us feel super comfortable and took the time to explain everything properly and taught us a lot of useful information. I couldn’t recommend Gumnut Cottage Gippsland any higher! I can’t wait to return ☺️☺️❤️❤️ Thank you Mel for your kindness! Both my friend and i appreciate your bubbly personality and all your hard work! It makes a difference, keep it up! ☺️

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful cabin. The location is truly special—peaceful, secluded, and surrounded by stunning views that made it easy to switch off and relax. The cabin itself was thoughtfully designed, cosy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind in a quiet, scenic spot.
