The Shepherd's Hut

Staying with us

The Shepherd's Hut is small but perfectly formed!  Nestled by the river, with its own gas powered outdoor shower and long drop toilet, it is glamping at its best.

Absolute privacy, riverfront real estate for those who like the wild open spaces but love a comfortable mattress and a roof and the little luxuries of life.

 

Camping

Staying with us

We welcome self sufficient bush campers who take only photos and leave nothing but footprints. If you are looking for an idyllic, peaceful place to reconnect with family & friends, we promise you absolute privacy, utter freedom and room to roam.  Camping at Avalon is a 4WD only experience and not suitable for caravans.  This is a wilderness style experience for those with a reverence for nature and respect for our beautiful property and animals.
