オーナー : Jeff Wagstaff
Joy grew up at Timbarra so her connection to this gorgeous property, the river and the mountains that surround it has been for her lifetime. As young girl she spent many hours on her horse exploring bush tracks and helping to muster cattle on the family farm. The river played an important part in her life as a child - swimming, fishing and playing. Her primary school years were a combination of home schooling until there were enough children living in the valley to open a school. The young teachers were billeted with the various families. Schooling was challenge in such a remote location so when it was time to start secondary school Joy's mother, a nurse, started to live and work away from home during the week so her children could continue school.
Jeff was a city boy, growing up in inner Melbourne where he became an electrician. When he finally moved to he country he fell in love with country life and says he will never live in a city again. With many practical skills and a willingness to learn new things he loves to keep busy 'Doing stuff'. Building a house was a completely new experience but he tackled the challenge with enthusiasm. Jeff and Joy started building the house in 2013 and opened it up to guests in 2017. The aim was to create something that was sustainable and environmentally friendly without costing a fortune. They both enjoyed the experience and love showing it off to guests and hearing their positive feedback.

Joy was so lucky to inherit this unique property which was part of the larger farm which had been in her family for 80 years. Surrounded by mountains and forest and yet part of the small farming community of Timbarra it is truly an escape from the outside world. A very special place.
この宿泊施設の特徴
It is hard to find holiday accommodation to match Timbarra Hideaway. The owner built house is unique on its own without adding in the beautiful and remote location. Having access to a mountain river at your door step is special. Watching it's various moods with each season is a highlight:- cold with frost on the edges in winter, rushing along with snow melt water and spring rains in spring, slow and warm, perfect for a dip, in summer and cooling down from high country frosts during autumn.
The antics of many birds entertain guests and often wake them with a 'bush chorus' in the mornings. The record number spotted by guests so far is 27 varieties.
Although tucked into a valley Timbarra is not far from high country plains of Nunniong and Nunnet. A nice drive in the warmer months. 4x4 drivers will enjoy having so many bush tracks to explore.
