Set on 4 acres, nestling in the peaceful Baranduda Range, with stunning views across the Kiewa Valley to the hills beyond, our Wee Bothy (Scottish word for cottage) offers a cosy and welcoming stay for a couple/family in a renovated former gallery. Pet-friendly, backing onto forest trails, and near Albury/Wodonga with its shops, restaurants and cinemas, as well as historical Yackandandah and Beechworth, its a must for those who love to walk, run, bike, ski or simply explore or relax - like us!

The space
A neuk (pronouned nook) is the Scottish word for a secluded, secure corner and we think we live in a wee corner of heaven surrounded by native Australian bush - home to iconic Aussie wildlife like kangaroos, wombats and echidnas as well as birds including king parrots, blue wrens, rosellas, finches, bower birds and kookaburras.

We offer a yummy continental breakfast comprising locally sourced produce where possible. Our own freshly-laid eggs, Aussie bacon, cereals, muesli, homemade bread, along with jams and preserves. You can also look forward to enjoying freshly roasted coffee, frothy milk or a pot of your favourite tea. Please let us know if you have any special dietary requirements.

**Kids under 12 are free! **
Like many other BnBs, we do have an additional charge per person after the first two guests, to cover our costs. But we also understand that raising a family can be expensive business and want to keep it affordable. So, if you are bringing your little ones that are under 12, just put two guests in the booking and let me know in a message your exact numbers and their ages. That way you wont be charged.

The Wee Bothy was originally a gallery and studio for local Baranduda artist, Betty Scott. Modernised for your comfort, yet respectfully retaining its original Aussie character and quirkiness, you may also spot some wee Scottish touches that adds our own twist to its natural charm.

A fully functional kitchen equipped with cooker, fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle. A washing machine is also available.

Have we mentioned the views? They are spectacular - and dont just take our word for it. And what better way to marvel the vistas and soak in the tranquility and beauty of the area, than to enjoy a drink or meal on your own outdoor table setting.

And then there are the trails - right at your back door. Baranduda Regional Park boosts walking and mountain bike tracks. As runners, mountain bikers and walkers ourselves (its one of the reasons we bought the place) we love that we have such freedom to indulge in our passion from our back paddock. But as you will read - there are many more trails to enjoy suitable for all levels, including children, in the Albury/Wodonga and Yackandandah area. You will certainly find there is so much to do and explore that a week or two wont seem long enough!

Guest access
*To protect our family and guests, you must be fully vaccinated against COVID. Please do not book unless you have a valid vaccination certificate.*

A car is strongly advisable to enjoy the best of the area. We do have a steep drive but you are able to park directly outside the Wee Bothy. Two or more cars may require you to park at the bottom of the property.

Other things to note
Please note the following.

1. Little Neuk is also home to free ranging chooks and our own exuberant, Beagledor young dog Finn. Please therefore keep your pets under control.

2. Children under 2 are most welcome. We annotated it unsuitable in the interest of their safety as we are unable to fit a safety barrier around the woodheater. There is also a steep rockery. If you would still like to bring children under 2, just get in touch.

3. Longer stays, of up to 30 days can be booked automatically. If you wish to stay longer, please get in touch.

IMPORTANT NOTICE - TEMPORARY WORKS ON LITTLE NEUK

From September 2022 for approximately 3 months, we are having some improvements made to the 'Big Hoose' on the property. There may therefore be some building works being conducted during your stay over this period. As the works is well away from any guest accommodation or access, disruption should be minimal.
