6 Hidden Gems to Discover from the Summit 🗺️📍
While it’s tempting to never leave the 1,500 acres of the farm, the High Country has some spectacular secrets waiting just down the road. Whether you're chasing waterfalls or looking for the perfect swimming hole, here are our top "Owner's Choice" picks for your next stay:
💦 Paradise Falls (35 mins)
A spectacular 31m drop into a hidden amphitheatre. You can actually walk right behind the falls for the ultimate High Country photo.
⛰️ Powers Lookout (25 mins)
Once the hideout of bushranger Harry Power (Ned Kelly's mentor), this spot offers some of the most dramatic rocky outcrops and views in the region.
🏊 The King River (15 mins)
Crystal clear water and perfect pebble beaches. Head down to the river in Cheshunt for a refreshing summer dip or a quiet fly-fishing session.
🚣 Lake William Hovell (25 mins)
A tranquil alpine lake perfect for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, or a long picnic under the gum trees on the water's edge.
🌊 Dandongadale Falls (50 mins)
Looking for something epic? This is Victoria’s longest single-drop waterfall. It is truly breathtaking, especially after a bit of rain.
🌲 Warby-Ovens National Park (45 mins)
Famous for its rugged landscapes and wildflower walks. A great spot for birdwatching or a slightly more adventurous hike before heading back for a wine.
PRO TIP: Pack a picnic basket from the local Whitfield deli and make a day of it! 🧺🍷
