Kingbilli Country Estate

Kingbilli Country Estate

Discover a tranquil world by a clear mountain stream, hidden amidst the inland slopes of the Great Dividing Range. Home to nearly 200 species of native birds and wildlife, this naturally beautiful environment creates an idyllic hideaway for travellers wishing to experience the magic of the Australian bush. In an atmosphere of ecological harmony, Kingbilli's secluded bluestone cottages are fully self-contained, providing the perfect base from which birdwatchers and wildlife lovers may explore their surroundings. Soaring timber ceilings and soft leather furnishings compliment stone and slate, whilst open fires and private spas soothe the worn and weary. Floor-to-ceiling windows reveal heavily landscaped gardens, designed with feathered friends in mind. Guests remain private and totally independent, interacting only with King Parrots on the windowsill, or a lazy Wombat waddling by the verandah. Bush-lovers seeking a memorable experience will enjoy a guided Llama Eco-Trek through 'Blue Gully', Kingbilli's private wildlife sanctuary. Carrying delectable picnics in their saddlebags, gentle Llamas lead the way through shaded trails to a hilltop spot with breathtaking views across the Cathedral Valley. Those preferring traditional wining and dining will find delightful coffee shops, restaurants, wineries and country pubs close by. Cycling, fishing, boating and tennis are available on the property, with horseriding, golf, ballooning, skiing and rock-climbing nearby. Some may find it takes more than a few days for the slow, seamless pace of country life to impose itself upon their psyche. Others might simply let the solitude and beauty of the landscape overtake them, sitting to meditate on the rustlings of leaves in the cool evening breeze or the filament-like reflections of trees and rushes on the still surface of a dam. In these moments, the memory of constant motion in the outside world disappears. ...read more
