Historical Note: The cottage industry of producing mountain spirits or “Moonshine” has been practiced by farmers for centuries. Operated under the darkness of night (by the light of the moon), old timers would hide away with their stills in the hills to avoid the tax man’s gaze, turning their brews into “sweetwater” and crafting local liquor with skill and tradition. Our Moonshiner’s Cottage is a nod to this history, a lovely hideaway in the hills of the Snowy Valleys, where the creativity is nurtured, inspiration abounds, and spirits are unleashed. With spaces to relax, unwind and explore surrounding the cottage, you can curl up on a cosy couch and enjoy the sweetwaters of the region. The unique styling of the cottage reflects the botanical obsession that underlies our Eliksir Gin, with natural history collections on display, lovingly foraged and collected from walks in the surrounding forests and valleys. We invite you to join us and be enchanted by this magical place. Guest access Guests can enjoy private use of the cottage and gardens. As a bonus to your stay Great pizza dinner can be booked on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings.
