Moosehead, Reindeer, and Jenny's Lodges

Description

These exceptional country lodges are located in the old gold prospector’s Alpine village of Tanjil Bren, only 2.5 hours drive east of Melbourne in the Baw Baw ranges. It is an undiscovered sanctuary of fresh air, clean spring water, and tranquility in the heart of mountain ash forests.

Moosehead, Reindeer and Jenny's Lodges are not your typical cottages! With their distinct country feel and natural design, staying here certainly is a unique and refreshing experience.

Moosehead Lodge

The lodge was built in 1996 and caters for 6 people. Living, dining, and kitchen are in one open plan room, which has a big fireplace. Firewood is supplied and burning upon your arrival in cold weather. A wood box is located adjacent to the combustion heater, so there is no chopping wood or going out in the cold to bring in fuel. The main bedroom has a queen sized bed, the second bedroom has two sets of single bunk beds so accommodates four.

Solar power provides electricity and gas is used for the stove, fridge and hot water. The water is from a natural spring that originates from a steep highland close by. You will be surprised at how good it tastes.

Outside, a partly covered veranda is the place to sit and take in the forest view and hand feed the king parrots, rosellas and kookaburras.

The abundance of birdlife is a birdwatchers paradise, from tiny blue wrens to magnificent lyrebirds that live in the forest just minutes away. Wombats, wallabies, possums, echidnas, and for the very serious animal lover, deer can be spotted close to the village. Koala bears have been seen as close as Icy Creek, just a short drive from the lodge.

There is a smorgasbord of walks and things to do, or just relax with your family or friends in front of the fire. This is a great place to “get away” and relax, feed the Rosellas, Parrots and Kookaburras during the day and possums at night. So take your time and look around our website, we know you are going to have a great time up here and we look forward to seeing you at Moosehead Lodge where you will be most welcome.
