About this property
Temple of the Verdant Hillside – Rhiwlas, Avenel
On gentle rolling fields, where timber frames and handmade bricks meet the soft gold of early light, lies a place of slow rhythm and deep breath. Here, you’re invited to reside for a while — to sit on the veranda as dawn unfolds over the paddocks, to walk among the dams, to watch the stars gather over a land that remembers its green pulse.
This is not just a stay, but a sanctuary — a whole-property booking where nine guests can rest in handcrafted simplicity. With three queen beds, three singles and two bathrooms, the space is designed for connection, quiet and still presence.
Features: fireplace, heating / cooling, Wi-Fi, well equipped kitchen, laundry. No pets please (farm fencing & animals on site). Close to Avenel township, yet fully embraced by the land’s own hush and horizon.
Whether you arrive for a retreat, a gathering of friends, or simply to breathe the countryside, Temple of the Verdant Hillside holds you in its green expanse.
Security & CCTV Some external areas are monitored by CCTV for guest safety and farm management. There are no cameras inside the home. Your privacy is respected at all times.
