Kestrel Nest EcoHut - Mount Adrah, New South Wales

We had such a lovely, relaxing time at Kestrel Nest. It was so beautiful to wake up to birds calling and spotting them from bed.
The bird watching tour with David was a highlight, he has such great knowledge about the local birds and broader environment. The lamb from Highfield is always delicious and it's wonderful to eat food grown on the property.
We will definitely be back to visit David, Louise and the beautiful dogs.

We had a wonderful stay at the secluded and very comfortable Kestrel Nest Ecohut. It was beautifully peaceful and provided a great opportunity to totally switch off in a gorgeous setting. Enjoyed our trip with David to explore the property and loved waking up to a myriad of birds including the male and female satin bower birds just off the porch each morning - a treat while eating breakfast. Thank you!

We love Kestrel's Nest! Between my husband and I, this was our third time staying at Louise and David's EcoHut and we hope to come back every year. Everything is peaceful, comfortable and elegant. It's a real break from the rest of the world, with all the comfort of a luxury apartment. I love the outdoor bathtub and the huge windows to watch the stars at night. Five stars.

Had an amazing time at Kestrel Nest ! Our kids loved being surrounded by nature, we got lucky enough to meet a new baby lamb, surrounded by nature, welcomed by the most beautiful farm dogs who are so friendly with children. We were surrounded by a beautiful sky of bright stars, the views the outdoor bath, the stone baked bread, the homemade chorizo, all of it was just perfect ! definitely coming back
Would love to enjoy the river in the warmer months, would be great to relax and enjoy fishing

Louise and David - Kestrel Nest is sublime. Thank you for: the bathing on the deck, birdwatching (sea eagles!!), swims in the creek, walks and star gazing in the hammocks. This stay was a birthday gift from my sons.They chose well!

My partner and I spent a weekend here and absolutely loved it. Not only was it clean, comfortable and well equiped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay but little luxuries like the outdoor bath, wood fireplace & locally sourced foods made it even more special. There is SO much here to explore & enjoy, I’m sure that we will return and I have already been recommending to friends & family.

This was our second stay at Kestrel Nest and our few days there were even more special than the time before. As soon as we arrived, we were overcome with a sense of calm and happiness. We delighted in the connection to nature and the atmosphere of the cottage itself, which is so beautifully presented with so many joyous details. This is a place to enjoy in itself - there is no need to go anywhere - but just to sit and watch the mist rise in the morning sun, the birds play and swoop, the sun sparkling on the creek, and lie in the hammocks watching the stars in awe.

The genuine commitment to sustainability is evident everywhere and we left with a renewed sense of optimism that there are people in the world working hard to make a difference. A very special experience.

I have been raving about Kestrel Nest Eco hut since my first stay this year. It was beyond my expectations (which were high thanks to a friend who had been). Obviously, it's a stunning location and the commitment to being TRULY ecologically managed is excellent. But another thing that stood out was the level of thoughtfulness and care that permeated every aspect and came through in great attention to detail. Dietary issues were catered for with generosity and we were able to cook two lovely meals using the meat pack. We really enjoyed the bird tour and will be back. Don't wonder...just go!
