Hidden Valley House is nestled in Anakie, VIC, set within the scenic Brisbane National Ranges and only a 1-hour drive from Melbourne CBD. 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. As well as the cabin, we offer a camping area to larger groups that need overflow accommodation if the cabin is not big enough. This makes Hidden Valley House a fantastic option for large groups wanting to have all the comfort and amenities of the cabin, but experience the back-to-basic joy of camping in nature. 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 by 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. AWD/4WD recommended

Such a perfect cabin and location! Could not complain about one thing. Only 20min from shops and not far from lorne/great ocean road if you feel like going on a nice drive. Fun little walking track around too. Will definitely come back

Loved staying at the Hidden Valley house. Everything you need for a weekend away! Great fire place inside and wonderful fire pit, plenty of wood, excellent kitchen and all the bits and bobs. Bbq and pizza oven as well! Would love to come back with a big crew as there’s a great spot for a get together. The land is beautiful, we saw tonnes of birds, an echidna, a wallaby from afar and the sugar gliders. No koala’s this time, but hopefully next time! James was a great communicator and made things very easy. Thank you for a relaxing weekend 🌱

What a wonderful piece of land! Our family loved to stay at James‘ place, who was very helpful and greeted us when we arrived. The kids loved the swing, hammock and climbing ladder nestled in the bush along the paths around the property. This was our first off-grid experience and certainly easily doable knowing that there is a generator as backup. How refreshing to see that there are still houses that exist considering the context and trying to fit into the bush, rather than standing out. Also worth noting that the house was very clean - which is unfortunately not common when you rent a holiday house these days. Thank you, James. We will be back!

We had an excellent bucks weekend at Hidden Valley. James went above and beyond making sure the place was set for us and we were prepared for our stay. If you're looking for somewhere that has a private and expansive feel while still having a few creature comforts and not being too far from civilisation then look no further. Only essential component is having a few people with 4WD/AWD, if you've got that in your group you wont be disappointed. Hope to come back again in the future!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Hidden Valley House. The property is stunning and well maintained, and the house, while off-grid, has all the amenities you’d ever need for a weekend away. Watching the bird life and sugar gliders from the balcony with a cup of coffee was a great way to wake up. Thanks James for a great experience.
