The Shearers Quarters at Kimo Estate

Overview

There couldn't be a better spot to gather for a feast after a day's exploration than in the mess hall of The Shearers Quarters at Kimo Estate. A 12-person gaggle of friends can spread out in this rustically renovated shed that sits within 7000 acres of rolling sheep- and cattle-grazing land.

The earthen, knobbly kitchen benches are ideal for cooking up a storm after touring the Gundagai wine region or dropping lines in the Murrumbidgee and Tumut rivers searching for a catch of trout, Murray cod, yellowbelly or bream to bring to the barbecue.

If you're an adventurous lot, consider planning your trip around the estate's five-day horse riding program, or jump out the front door and into a helicopter for a stunning flight through the Snowy Mountains foothills.
