About this property

Kambarang Eco-cabin hidden in the forest with off-grid power and rainwater

Secluded cute, well equipped eco cabin surrounded by beautiful bush. Peaceful. SILENCE! Cosy log fire in winter. Walking / mountain bike trails. Bird life and song. Brilliant starry night skies. Local produce including fruit, wine and olive oil available all around the area.

Fully self-contained cabin with small stand alone solar power system, gas stove and fridge, log fire heater, TV and lovely hot rainwater shower (great for hair and skin).
There is a double bed in the loft (wake up in the tree tops) or downstairs are 2 singles if preferred. Please note that access to the loft is via 'ladder stairs' (see photo) which are very steep and so perhaps not suitable for small children, elderly or disabled people; we will host a max of 2 adults.
There's also a wood heater for winter which keeps the cabin warm and cosy, as well as having the stovetop to cook a delicious slow cook soup or your dinner if you feel inclined, instead of using the gas stove.

Use of the mountain bike/walk trails is included free of charge and quality bikes from our bike shop, Cycletrek, can be hired for use on the property. Look us up for more info on the bike shop and the property.

Lowden is in the shire of Donnybrook/Balingup (we are 20km from Donnybrook town) and is 45 minutes from Bunbury and 15 minutes from the Ferguson Valley wineries.

The property, Kambarang, is 100 ares of beautiful jarrah/marri bushland with views up and down the Preston Valley and has 8+ km of walk/mountain bike track (rated at blue level, however there is also a novice/kids track). Springtime provides a profusion of wildflowers including some very special orchids.

The region is the fruit bowl of WA and seasonal freshly picked produce can be purchased from roadside stalls along the Preston Valley, plus wine and olive oil.
May to December is absolutely beautiful away from the coast in the south west . It is lush and green and without the strong coastal winds, its lovely even when it is raining. We are above the frost line and some mornings can look down on a mist in the valley below while enjoying the colours of the sunrise.

We are 8km from the Bibbulmun Track and offer a pick up/ drop off service (for a fee) to guests - and also for the Munda Biddi Mountain Bike Trail. There is a fully equipped bicycle repair shop on the property and Barrie can service or repair your bike during your stay.

Please note that for long weekends we have a minimum stay requirement of 3 nights.

The cabin is very private, surrounded by forest.

The Cabin
We had a wonderful stay at the Cabin. It was so relaxing spending the weekend in the trees. The hosts created a clean and organised space complete with woodfire, board games and information on current local events. Thank you for having us! We would love to come back.
