The Picker's Hut

The Cabin — A luxury farm stay surrounded by undulating hills cloaked in grapevines

The attention to detail at this luxury cabin is what separates it from the rest – and this unique winery stay has the makings for an experience you’ll remember for years to come.

The Picker’s Hut at Invercarron was designed to capture the essence of the natural landscape, with generously-sized windows in every room to provide a sweeping view of the vineyard and the valley. Earthy tones shape the space while the blonde timber floors perfectly complement the exposed timber beams that stretch across the high ceilings. The cabin contains several nooks, perfect for getting lost in a book or enjoying your surrounds. There is also an indoor stone fireplace in the lounge, framed by large windows overlooking the natural landscape. With one queen bedroom and one king bedroom (which can be arranged as two singles upon request), the cabin provides exceptional comfort for up to four guests.

The property is uniquely situated on the site of a working Merino sheep farm and winery, and guests are invited to admire the vines that create the vineyard’s pinot gris, pinot noir and chardonnay varieties.
