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.
