Kimo Estate, Gundagai

Picture rolling hills and deep valleys, your own private off-the-grid cabin and countryside with barely another soul as far as the eye can see at Kimo Estate. These are the views you'll be treated to from the woodfired hot tub on the decks of Kimo Estate's three Eco Huts. Sitting high on the hilltops above the Murrumbidgee Flats, and just a 10-minute drive from Gundagai, these tiny-but-mighty solar-powered cabins have modern interiors, floor-to-ceiling windows and log fires for post-bath cuddles.
