Bickells Hut - Off-Grid Farm Stay

the view is superb. so peaceful and quiet.

that there is no set up to make a fire inside the cabin. it can get very cold.

Very basic yet very clean, beautiful location and scenery

A little too basic for me

Absolutely stunning property with breathtaking views. It felt incredibly peaceful and comfortable the perfect place to relax and unwind. The fire bath was a beautiful touch and made the stay feel extra special. We loved every moment and would happily stay again!

The only thing we could fault was the lack of blinds or tinted glass for the shower window. Having a little more option for privacy would have made an already amazing stay even better.

Lovely location, very peaceful, cute hut with lots of potential. I was impressed with absolutely no smell from the composting toilet.

This is unpowered, basic, glamping! If advertised as such & priced accordingly I would have been ok, but off grid is not usually unpowered! I would have expected a solar or battery set up. Everything was just done so cheaply, (Kmart, Kings, Dometic) & just not comfortable or practical. My own camping set up is way better equipped & I’m pretty basic compared to a lot of campers! It was so very cold & with no power, no firewood provided (or available to buy at their farm stall) & no hot water (I was compensated for the hot water issue) it was hard to enjoy. Only a thin Kmart summer doona & thin blanket on the bed & one spare summer Kmart doona in the cupboard. I had to go to bed with two layers of clothes, two pairs of socks, both doonas & the blanket just to be warm enough to sleep. It also gets really hot in the hut during the day so summer time would be awful. Had I been able to use the fire bath, it could only be used after dark as in full view of other hut, main house & camp site in the paddock below. No curtain across the hut doors. Would be very little privacy if it was busy. Also, bats & bugs in the bathroom was not ideal. Basically BYO: Drinking water Firewood, kindling, fire starters Doona Camp chairs Kettle for the gas cooker Mugs (unless you’re happy with tin Kmart camp mugs to burn your mouth on) Camp toaster Coffee pot Battery operated heater/fan Or just bring your own set up & pay a fraction of the price for the camp site in the paddock below.
