The Rabbiter’s Hut was an old cottage used on ‘Tinline Park’ in the late 1950s to house the rabbit man that was employed to reduce the vermin on the property.
Restoration of the cottage commenced in 2011. Using local tradesmen and eldest son Jock; who is also a builder, the Rabbiter’s hut was converted into a very exclusive, luxurious 3-bedroom cottage using typical Australian materials such as corrugated iron and red gum from the property.
The cottage is situated 3 kilometres from the main homestead ensuring privacy during your stay. Although, Annette and Bill are willing to host you ensuring you have the best possible experience.

Rabbiter's Hut Adelaide Hills

Our family had such a lovely getaway at the Rabbiters Hut. Annette and  Bill thought of everything to make our stay fun, relaxing and cosy. A beautiful way to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy some quality family time. Thank you Annette and Bill, we look forward to seeing you again next time ☺️

Everything thought of!

A wonderful oasis while we trekked the Lavender Federation Trail. Warm and cosy with a marvellous entertaining area next door, we kept coming back after long days hiking to relax in such a special place! Thank you Annette and Bill!

What a fabulous find. So peaceful and had everything we needed at our fingertips. We felt refreshed and relaxed from the moment we got there. The accommodation is warm, cozy, and comfortable, and very tastefully decorated. Nothing was too much trouble for Annette, she went above and beyond by sorting some TV cables for us so we could play some pre-downloaded movies from our iPad after we forgot to bring our own along. The home baked bread was amazing, and the food packages great value. Great walks on the property with permission from the owners, also many walks nearby, and places to visit in the surrounding districts. Or just relax, read a book, and watch the amazing sunsets from the deck with a G&T in hand, then snuggle up by one of the combustion fires. Highly recommend a stay at this property, you wont be disappointed.

Everything We Need At Our Fingertips

Absolutely relished our time at Rabbiters Hut. Thank you Annette and Bill. So cosy and warm, loved the flannelette sheets, great bonfire- especially after a few cold and damp days hiking the Lavender Trail.
