Whether you're basing yourself at The Hideout or setting up camp at Seeforth Station, you are sitting right on the doorstep of Victoria's best High Country heritage and wilderness.

Here are five of our favorite local ways to spend a day out in the valley:

🥾 The Howqua Hills Heritage Walk

Take the 1.5-hour return walk between Sheepyard Flat and Frys Flat. It's a gentle, scenic trail that winds along the river, loaded with High Country history and towering gums.

🎣 Flick a Line in the Howqua River

The Howqua is legendary for its wild trout. Bring your fly gear or pack a light spin rod to flick lures into the deeper, shaded river pools.

🛖 Explore Fry’s Hut

Built in the 1940s by Fred Fry, a true mountain legend, prospector, and stockman who even inspired Nevil Shute’s novel The Far Country. His hand-hewn timber hut still stands near Frys Flat and is well worth the visit.

🍺 Spend an Afternoon in Jamieson

Step back into gold rush history with a walk past Jamieson’s historic buildings, followed by a cold craft b**r and a relaxed feed on the deck at Jamieson Brewery & Grill overlooking the river valley.

🦌 High Country Hunting

Between 15 February and 15 December, deer hunters can access designated sections of the Alpine National Park and the Avon Wilderness for stalking (dogs not permitted).

Pack the boots, load the gear, and come explore our backyard.

High Country tracks are calling and tracks opening in just a few weeks. With the warmer weather rolling in, Seeforth Station is the ultimate launchpad if you’re heading out for a weekend of 4WDing, dirt bike riding, or bushwalking through the Alpine National Park.

Park the rigs, throw the swags or head into the bunkhouse, and start the fire.

We get it, there’s nothing quite like sleeping under the High Country stars, sitting around the fire, and waking up to the sound of the river.

But taking a freezing creek bath or digging a hole in the dirt? That part you can probably do without.

Our spaces give you the best of both worlds: raw, unfiltered nature right at your doorstep, combined with those little creature comforts that make all the difference. Real hot showers, proper facilities, and a roof over your head when the weather turns, without losing that authentic off-grid feeling.

Think of it as camping, just upgraded enough so everyone actually enjoys themselves.
