At Gumnut Cottage Gippsland, we're committed to curating a retreat that seamlessly blends relaxation, adventure, and experiential delights. Your tranquil escape awaits – discover the true essence of Central Gippsland with us.
We leave the indoor fireplace fully stocked and ready to light with enough free firewood for approximately 2-3 hours of burning time during the cooler months (May - Mid September). We recommend you stop via a petrol station or Timberline (the local Heyfield General Store) to pick up some additional kindling and firewood if you plan to use the outdoor fire pit or use the fireplace over multiple days.
Located in a rural area, please note that fire restrictions apply at certain times of year (generally over the Summer and early Autumn months) prohibiting the use of the fireplace and outdoor fire pit. Please feel free to check in with us prior to booking to clarify if this is important to your stay.
