Imagine if your best mates were millionaires and they invited you round their house for a couple of days. They’ve got a big open plan living room with grand log fire, a cellar full of fine wine and an amazing bar area with spectacular panoramic views of one of the world’s last great frontiers.

There’s a live-in Gourmet Chef (Big Al) and you can pop into the kitchen anytime to say hi (or help prepare canpapes before cocktails or make some bread in the morning).

There’s a couple of staff who aren’t really staff, more like friends just hanging out. But they’ll be so kind as to meet you at the front door with a glass of champagne or hot scented towel, and serve you dinner as you fine dine out on the lawn under the stars.   Other friends pop by and they’ll gladly take you on a private tour of Zebedee Thermal Springs or a cruise along the Chamberlain Gorge. Fancy some time alone? (there’s a maximum of only 18 guests) Well you can relax in the library or on your own private cliff top balcony.

Aaaaahh The Homestead, I’m going to miss you.
