Kimo Estate

If you’re looking for a truly unforgettable escape, Kimo Estate Ecohuts are an absolute must. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty and tranquility of the property. Nestled atop hilltops with breathtaking panoramic views, the eco-luxury cabins—Sweeney’s Hut, JR’s Hut, and Fergo’s Hut—perfectly combine rustic charm with sustainable living, creating an atmosphere that feels both indulgent and connected to nature. Our stay felt like stepping into a world where every detail has been carefully considered. The huts are elegantly designed, incredibly comfortable, and seamlessly blend into the surrounding landscape. Waking up to the sunrise over the hills and enjoying the serenity of the estate was truly magical. For anyone seeking a retreat that embraces nature, sustainability, and absolute comfort, Kimo Estate Ecohuts are an unparalleled experience. We left feeling completely refreshed and already dreaming of our next visit!

Romantic 4 night getaway at Kimo estate. Positives: close to beautiful Gundagai with great people to chat with and shop. Lovely view of the river as it is up high on a hill. Amazing sunrise and sunset views. Enjoyed the plunge pool, even though it wasn't heated, the water was relatively warm and it sits 2 people comfortably. Can have access to pool at the main house which is a drive away. Has usb ports to charge phones. Negatives: Be careful driving over the cattle grate as you come into the property as there is a drop and our mud flap broke on our sedan getting over it. Owner needs to fill it in with dirt/stones. Could be slippery for cars if very wet due to the incline going up to the hut as not evenly graded. Very hot in the summer during the day- was unbearable. It is an eco hut so no cooling apart from a tiny fan next to the bed. The place does cool off at night as the wind was ferocious and the windows allowed the place to cool off. The wind did keep us awake as there was a banging in the roof where a beam was hitting the roof for the last 2 nights of our stay. Tried to bring it up with the owner but he blamed us and said we probably left a tap on (we are regional we would never do that) so nothing was done. No fridge except a camp fridge outside. Limited space in it. Food was limited (suppised to be a B&B)- 2 people for 4 nights and we got 6 eggs, 2 small round pieces of bacon per day not full rashers, sourdough wrapped in foil, tomatoes in balsamic (I think) that were sour and we didn't touch the pouch of baked beans. The orange juice was not freshly squeezed but long life juice put in a different bottle. On our first morning we went to boil the kettle and the inside camp stove had no butane. The extra butane bottle in the cupboard was also empty. We tried the BBQ outside and couldn't get it started. Called the owner and he said, "oh yeah I am waiting for a part it doesn't work, I will come up and try to fix it". Well that was hours that he was in our space so no relaxation that day. Told him frypans were dirty and he looked at them and fobbed it off, "it's only carbon". They had burnt food stuck to them. I asked him if he could wash them as the sink in the hut was small and he said the cleaner will pop up some time today. They did get done. However, Tuesday was not relaxing having them in our space. There were ants in the place (spray under sink was empty), told the owner and he got us Antrid which I didn't bother using. The one thing I guess that was an issue was the owner was dismissive of issues and appeared like he didn't care.

Our stay at Kimo Estate’s Fergus Hut didn’t live up to expectations, especially for the price. $700 has expectations! There was very little value for money. For what we paid, you’d expect some basic comforts—like the fireplace and spa fire being lit on arrival—but neither were. Also, there was no clear or safe path from the hut to the spa outside, which made using it feel like an afterthought. The BBQ was so dirty we didn’t even consider using it. The breakfast “included” was extremely underwhelming—barely enough for one person, let alone two—and we had to call just to find out what it even consisted of. The welcome information was vague and unhelpful, and there was no useful guidance on how to make the most of the hut. Pre-arrival information would have been appreciated, especially knowing that no drinking water or even tissues were provided. Seating, 2 very uncomfortable chairs and nothing to enjoy the outside deck. Beautiful views, but overall the experience felt poorly thought out and not worth the cost.

I had an amazing two-night stay at Kimo Estate! The experience was truly unforgettable – the stunning views, peaceful surroundings, and beautifully designed cabins made it a perfect getaway. Waking up to breathtaking scenery and enjoying the tranquility of nature was exactly what I needed. everything was well taken care of. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and relaxing retreat!

We stayed for a one night stopover on the way North. It was about 40 degrees in Gundagai, so Windies Cottage was extremely hot until the air conditioning units kicked in after a few hours. The cottage was definitely more rustic than the photos suggest - the floor was uneven and creaky, there were large gaps around the doors and we could see sunlight through the floor and tin roof in a few places. I didn’t sleep well as I was worried about snakes and spiders (we had to kill a huge spider shortly after we arrived). The setting was very pretty and the furnishings were lovely, we just weren’t prepared for how old and rustic the cottage was.

My partner and I stayed a night at Fergo's hut on Kimo Estate. It is a perfect stopover to break the journey between Melbourne and Sydney, or just even as a getaway. The log cabin is super comfortable, the tub outside perfect for soaking with a view of the farmland below. It is a glass cabin, but there is absolute privacy as there is no one around the area. |The bed faces east, so one is waking up to a gorgeous sunrise. The starry night view is also spectacular, although I would have loved to have a transparent roof so I could have enjoyed the stars from my bed! |We went on a hot day, and there wasnt much wind, which was a bummer for some part of the stay. We were a bit worried about keeping the doors open, as we were afraid there could be creepy crawlies nearby, but apart from a lizard and a couple of flies/ wasps, there was nothing to be worried about. |On the whole, we loved the experience, although in general, I would recommend coming here in the cooler months of spring / autumn.

We had the most incredible stay at Kimo Estate! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely immersed in the beauty and tranquility of the surroundings. The eco huts are the perfect blend of luxury and simplicity, offering everything you need to disconnect from the busy world and reconnect with nature. The views are absolutely breathtaking, especially at night—stargazing from the outdoor bathtub is a magical experience that we’ll never forget. We’ve never seen so many stars in one sky! One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast package. We loved starting our mornings with fresh eggs, bacon, and other local ingredients. Cooking up breakfast on the cooker outside while looking out over the rolling hills was the perfect way to ease into the day. It was so peaceful, and we felt truly relaxed and recharged. Kimo Estate is the ideal stop if you're looking to get off the grid and escape into nature. The surrounding scenery is just stunning, with endless hills, valleys, and wildlife all around. Whether you're soaking in the views from the hut or heading out for a walk around the property, every moment here is pure serenity. We can't recommend this place enough for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with a touch of adventure. We'll definitely be back!

We visited Kimo Estate and stayed in the Sweeney's Hut. The views are amazing and that is what you are paying for. As previous reviewers have stated there is no electricity outlets so ladies forget the hairdryer and the GHD. The Hut is solar powered. No air conditioner only a very small fan on the wall next to bed.|My advice would be never visit in Summer or the dead of Winter.|Breakfast provisions are supplied in an outdoor camp fridge that is run on a battery.|Tea and coffee / sugar / oil / vinegar are supplied, no tissues or wipes to clean the BBQ.|||The Negatives: the hut and its furniture is showing its age now. Hard leather chairs.|Nails protruding out of timber deck in places. So be careful.|Water damage on timber walls|In need of some TLC.|Heated pool: a very strange colour of water in here, did not look very inviting, takes 1 hour approximately to heat up. Whether its bore water??|All cooking on the BBQ has to be done outside, there is a small gas kitchen burner that can be used inside the hut if it was raining.|No inside dining table to sit at, only outside, it was so windy we could not sit outside for dinner/breakfast, so we had to sit on the bed/floor of the hut, extremely uncomfortable.|No wardrobe for hanging up clothing, 2 hooks provided only.|No window coverings at all.|Sweeney's Hut faces the road, so there is traffic noise and at night car headlamps on high beam light up the hut and disturb your sleep.||Tips: Bring your own esky with ice as the fridge that is provided is a little on the small side.|Bring some food with you otherwise its a 20-25min drive into town.|Bring some torches or lamps as the lighting is very dull. They do provide 2 rechargeable lanterns.|Tip: Choose one of the other huts around so that you are not disturbed by noise and headlights.
