Timber Cabin #1 in Selby near Puffing Billy

Discover the serenity of our fully insulated European timber cabin, nestled amidst the eucalyptus trees. Floor-to-ceiling double glazed French doors create a seamless connection between indoor comfort and the natural beauty outside. Lounge in the warmth of natural wood interiors or step onto the deck to savour the surroundings and meet the local wildlife. With modern amenities blending seamlessly into its cozy charm, our timber cabin offers an idyllic escape from the demands of everyday life. The space Our Selby cabins (#1 and #2) are only 5 minutes drive or 30 minutes walk through the forest to Belgrave, where you’ll find plenty of cafés, bars, restaurants, live music, quirky shops, and, of course, the iconic Puffing Billy, or might want to take a train to Melbourne CBD (just 1 hr ride). It is just a short walk/ drive away from numerous wonderful hikes in the Dandenongs (like Sherbrooke Forest) and is a great base to explore the Yarra Valley. Fancy a dip or some kayaking? - Aura Vale lake (Bobs park) is just some 9 mins drive. There are 2 kayaks you would be welcome to use. Still haven't seen a kangaroo? - an easy 15 min drive to the Cardinia reservoir park and there they roam freely. The place is a great spot for a picnic or a walk along the dam wall. Our neighbours' cat Baxter might pay you a visit during your stay - he's a curious very old boy - going 19.... You are welcome to either let him keep you company or simply send him away - he will not mind if you're strict with him :-). We think he's already deaf and that might make him seem persistent at times... It might be that he's mostly interested in what snacks you might have :-). Just do not let him inside the cabin please. The cabins are suitable for max 2 people (adults) per cabin. NOTE: The cabins are located in the Dandenong Ranges national park, in a forested area, therefore now and then reception might drop, but rarely. You'll basically be staying in nature, with lots of birds, some wild life. During the wet season be mindful that the paths and steps to the cabin might be slippery. Please use the hot water in moderation - the electric water boilers, even though they are sufficient and efficient, they of course are of a smaller capacity - shorter showers and allowing 30 mins time between them should do just fine :-). Guest access Guests can enjoy the garden in front of the cabin. There's a fire-pit (oil drum) just next to it. A BBQ is right below the terrace and is also available for you to use.
