About this property

A delightful self contained Poured Earth building 500 metres from the East Gippsland Rail Trail and 3 minutes from the Great Alpine Way. 15 minutes from Metung Hot Springs. Perfectly located to explore the area from. Fully renovated with hand rendered walls, polished concrete floor, full kitchen, reverse cycle heating and cooling with the added luxury of a wood fired heater and a swish bathroom. Guests love the open plan design which creates an instant impact when you walk in. You will love being able to sit in the large sunny court yard overlooking our wonderful rural views. The wood fired Chiminea creates a romantic atmosphere for some awesome star gazing or to enjoy a glass of wine by.
The large garden is perfect for spreading out a rug and relaxing while listening to the birds.

Mossiface is only 35 minutes from the Gippsland Lakes and the 90 mile beach at Lakes Entrance, 15 minutes to Metung the the new Hot Springs complex, 10 minutes to fishing in the Tambo River or you can head to the hills. If you have a boat the closest launching site is at Johnsonville a whole 10 minutes away.
Historic Omeo is about 90 minutes away and Mount Hotham a 2 hour drive. Buchan Caves are only 40 minutes away or head up the coast a bit further to Marlo and Cape Conran. And so much more....

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Wagstaff

Jeff and Joy have lived in East Gippsland for many years, in fact Joy grew up at Timbarra, near Buchan, on the family farm. They now live in Mossiface and love the area. They cannot imagine living anywhere else. Jeff and Joy are a practical couple couple who love to have a project to work on. For four years they juggled their paid jobs with building a Strawbale house at Timbarra and then renovated this poured earth building, now known as Gingko Lodge. The result is two unique buildings that are both comfortable and inspiring. Guests will love the beautiful textured walls, use of recycled and natural building materials and the general ambience created. Jeff and Joy have enjoyed adding lots of special touches to make their guests comfortable and to create a special stay for them.

Joy's love of gardening and art is evident in the beautiful garden and original art works on the walls of Gingko Lodge. Jeff has been a tradie in the past and enjoys putting his many practical skills to use. He laughingly says that " Joy is the ideas person and he is the doer'.

Why they chose this property

The thing that attracted Jeff and Joy to this property was the location. Close to the pretty little town of Bruthen but surrounded by farms and beautiful views whilst benefiting from the sunny northerly aspect. A perfect location in their minds.

What makes this property unique

This unique open plan lodge is spacious and comfortable with a scrumptious king bed to sink into at the end of the day. Fluffy robes and sheep skin rugs make it easy to get up in the morning.
The poured earth walls and rustic timber post and beam design hide a modern and spacious space with plenty of room to spread out. A modern well equipped kitchen with full stove, dishwasher, microwave and fridge. The large bathroom includes a washing machine.
There is a comfortable couch to curl up in front of the fire on cold nights. Your hosts will have the fire burning when you arrive on chilly days.
Some of Joy's original art work hangs on the walls, some of which is available to buy as a momento of your stay.
A large private court yard includes a barbecue and wood fired chiminea heater.. The building sits in a large garden with the hosts living on site. Guests have access to a grassy lawn with shady trees at the rear of the building.
Pets are welcome. Mae, the resident border collie is friendly and loves to welcome visitors, especially dogs. She will invite them to come and play with her.
Horses are welcome with a secure yard available for them. Horses are permitted on the rail trail. Or bring bikes because the East Gippsland Rail Trail is only 500 metres from Gingko Lodge.
