With a dash of history, a splash of sweat and a bucket load of passion – you won’t find another trail quite like it..
Choose from four fantastic accommodation options; a restored woolshed with outdoor baths, rustic huts high in the mountains with magnificent views, sunsets and starlight, or our brand new tiny home (coming soon).
