Things To Do

Swimming pool
There is an abundance of activities available at Glen-Nevis.

You can take a stroll down to the brook, or hike up to our lookouts to experience magnificent 360° views of pastoral scenery. Relax by the swimming pool, take a walk or ride on the property, or even try perch fishing in the brook.

In the evening, you can gather around the pianola for a sing-sing, or just relax by the fire.

Take part in farm activities, learn about grape growing - with a small vineyard on the property, and spot the abundant wildlife, eg. Eastern Grey Kangaroos. Or just relax and enjoy the magnificent surroundings.

If antiques and country collectables tickle your fancy, browse around Corrigan's Cottage, our 1860s slab cottage which is just crammed full of goodies for sale.

"Have had a fabulous time! Thank you for making us feel very at home - great to escape the hustle and bustle of Sydney. We'll definitely be back... especially for the home brew!!" C.S. & J.K., Erskinville
