Hidden Valley House is nestled in Anakie, VIC, set within the scenic Brisbane National Ranges and only a 1-hour drive from Melbourne CBD. Approaching Anakie from Geelong, visitors are greeted by the “Koala Country” sign which highlights that the nearby Brisbane Ranges National Park is home to one of the greatest densities of koalas in Victoria.
Taking into consideration our ethos around sustainability, the cabin is “off-grid” so solar powered with a composting toilet but with all the amenities you need. The cabin has spectacular views overlooking the valley with an abundance of wildlife and has a small creek and several caves which have formed over millions of years.
Set on an 18-acre property at the start of the Brisbane National Ranges, it is home to koalas, kangaroos, echidnas, sugar gliders and an abundance of birds including eagles and kookaburras. Furthermore, the land is protected by Trust for Nature and Land for Wildlife offering long term protection for many ecosystems, species and native wildlife.
The property is surrounded national parks and is only a short drive from charming, historical towns such as Meredith and Steiglitz and only 25mins to Geelong. A number of family-owned wineries are located nearby and within Victoria’s Moorabool Valley winery.
Regardless of the weather and time of year, the outlook and setting offers peace and serenity. Relax by the fire, play some board games or go for a hike.
It’s the ideal spot to sit still and unwind in privacy, exploring the land and taking in the nature, with the perfect base to explore everything the area has to offer.
