One of the joys of Wilga Station that visitors absolutely rave about is the The Sheep Trail, a meandering bush walk that weaves its way down to Wilga Creek from the Farmers Hut. There’s a firepit down by the creek which is available under certain conditions.
If you’d like to enjoy this experience during your stay, please bring all-terrain shoes or hiking boots.
ENVIRONMENT
From the Owners:
“We have built our accommodation structures to be eco-friendly, with sustainable building materials and power. We’ve reused and repurposed as much material as possible from the farm to create two unique country getaways that are distinctively Australian with an easy going sense of luxury.
The Farmers Hut is 100% off-grid, using rainwater collection and solar power.
The Farmers Hut has been designed to be cool in summer and warm in winter. The Farmers Hut is insulated with its grass roof. It also has a ceiling fan and windows on all sides to allow for air flow.
In winter there is a wood fireplace available that keeps the structure warm and snug.
There is ample power to charge phones, laptops, and the appliances provided, and whilst you can bring your own appliances such as hairdryers (we do not provide them), we do ask that you limit their use.”
What we love…
Wilga Station’s owners, Hamish and Mez Keith and their hand-picked team of local craftspeople have created a glorious new level of relaxed luxury where guests can experience all the joys of an Australian farming landscape.
But this is not your ordinary farmstay. The stunning Farmers Hut at Wilga Station features a sleek, curved, grassed, living roof. Using high end design, the building merges effortlessly into the surrounding environment.
In addition to looking incredible, the grass roof is a landmark in environmentally sustainable design. The grass roof acts as natural insulation and keeps the temperature between 16-24 degrees inside all year round. The hut is completely off grid, using solar energy, low energy appliances and 100% collected rainwater. The living roof has been seeded with the same drought resilient and cold climate grass mix that grows in nearby paddocks. The effect is seamless.
Tell me more
Wilga Station offers a new experience in luxury. It is a 260 acre working sheep farm that’s been home to the Keith family for three generations. They have now opened this idyllic country lifestyle to guests who are invited to explore the winding, walking tracks and willow-lined creek, before settling in to toast marshmallows and watch the sunset from your luxury couple’s getaway.
