	Come and discover a living, breathing landscape where nature, at its most serene, soothes the senses and seeps into the soul. At Kingbilli Country Estate time stands still... the world and its worries forgotten... and sitting in the gazebo at dusk, lulled by a serenade of waterhens, wood-ducks and reedwarblers, the sunset reflected in the reed fringed pond, it's easy to see why some folk would like to stay forever.

Property Description:
Home to nearly 200 species of native birds and wildlife, this naturally beautiful environment creates an idyllic hideaway for travellers wishing to experience the magic of the Australian bush.

Set in an atmosphere of ecological harmony, Kingbilli's secluded bluestone cottages are fully self-contained, providing the perfect base from which birdwatchers and wildlife lovers may explore their surroundings. Soaring timber ceilings, soft leather furnishings, stone walls and slate floors bring the textures of nature to the interior. Open fires and private spas add to the romantic setting. Floor-to-ceiling windows reveal heavily landscaped gardens, designed with feathered friends in mind. Each cottage is totally private and independent, with the only likely company being King Parrots on the window sill, or a lazy Wombat waddling by the verandah.

Special Features:
Activities are plentiful and bush-lovers seeking a memorable experience will enjoy a guided Llama Eco-Trek through 'Blue Gully', Kingbilli's private wildlife sanctuary. Carrying delectable picnics in their saddlebags, gently humming Llamas lead the way through shaded trails to a hilltop spot with breathtaking views across the Cathedral Valley to the Great Dividing Range.

In the evening, jacuzzi fans can engage in conversation with a cheeky Brushtail Possum as she scampers by to steal her supper roses from the garden, whilst tennis players may be partnered by some large-footed team-mates, in the form of resident Kangaroos.

Recreational Facilities:
Llama eco-treks, tennis, boating, cycling, wildlife viewing, bird watching, fishing, bushwalking.
