Westhill is
a turn-of-the century timber country house,
with a modern extension
designed by Australia's prize winning Architect,
Glenn Murcutt. Featured in
the publication, "Australian Style", it is stated that "the
materials used are those of the early white settlers, the ambience created
is a modern adaptation to a primitive world".
Wood Duck Cabin is
part of the original property. Glenn Murcutt
adapted
the Cabin to provide guest accommodation for two.
Set on 1.6 hectares
of land,
Westhill and Wood
Duck Cabin are secluded,
completely private and bounded by the National
Park.
Westhill and Wood
Duck Cabin may be booked separately or together to accommodate
up to 10 people.
Famous Blackheath Walks; the Braeside Track,
the Cliff Walk, Bridal Veil Falls and
Evans Lookout are all accessible from
the back door. The property features
an old Pine Forest, expansive grassland, deciduous Woodland and gorgeous
established cold climate Mountain gardens.
You may wish to sit in the
cool, velvety shade of the Woodland listening
to birdsong and watch Crimson Rosellas, King
Parrots, Honeyeaters and Cockatoos feed off
fruit and blossom in the Orchard, while native
Wood Ducks cruise past waterlilies on the
Dam.
Wrap yourself up in the silky
warm mountain mists of summer, drink in the
brilliant black starry night skies, enjoy
the sight, sound, smell, warmth and romance
of an open log fire in winter.
