Wake Up with Kangaroos: An Authentic Australian Wildlife Experience

For many international visitors to Australia, seeing a kangaroo or emu in the wild is the ultimate dream. But often, the reality involves crowded zoos or fleeting glimpses from a tour bus window.

At Nook On The Hill, the experience is different. It’s personal, private, and right on your doorstep.

A Private Safari in Gariwerd

Imagine waking up, brewing a fresh coffee, and stepping out onto your private deck to find a mob of Eastern Grey Kangaroos grazing peacefully on the grass just meters away. This isn’t a rare occurrence here; it’s a daily ritual.

Because the Nook is situated at the foothills of the Grampians National Park (Gariwerd), we share our space with an abundance of native wildlife. It’s not just kangaroos. You might spot an echidna shuffling through the undergrowth, listen to the laugh of a Kookaburra at dusk, or watch emus wandering down the driveway.

Ethical & Wild

The beauty of the wildlife here is that it is completely wild. We encourage our guests to observe from a respectful distance, allowing you to witness their natural behaviours in a way that few tourists ever get to see.

So, bring your camera, but leave the zoom lens inside. At the Nook, the Australian wildlife comes to you.
