Nestled in a small clearing with sweeping views to the mountain ranges, there’s an instant connection with nature and a very obvious disconnection from the urban way of life.
Mill Cabin is an ideal base for those wanting to experience one of Australia’s most celebrated long-distance hikes: the Snowy Alpine Walk.
Together, the cabin and the walk create a journey that blends comfort and challenge, solitude and vastness — a deeply immersive way to experience the alpine heart of New South Wales.
The Snowy Alpine Walk: A Journey Across the Roof of Australia
The Snowy Alpine Walk is a multi-day hiking experience that links some of the most spectacular landscapes in Kosciuszko National Park. Stretching across alpine ridgelines, glacial valleys, and high plains, the walk passes through iconic areas such as Thredbo, Charlotte Pass, Perisher and Guthega, including a summit of Mount Kosciuszko, Australia’s highest peak.
The walk is not just about distance — it’s about immersion. Along the way, hikers encounter snow-gums twisted by wind, wide open alpine meadows, clear mountain streams and vast skies that seem to stretch endlessly. Each section offers a different perspective on the mountains, from exposed ridges to quiet valleys where the only sound is boots on gravel.
Walking in this landscape encourages a slower awareness: watching clouds shift, noticing the changing light, and feeling the altitude in both body and breath.
Mill Cabin is off the grid and equipped with solar panels to provide clean and guilt free electricity.
The cabin design is a nod to the old stockman huts of the Australian high country. They are a fixture of the alpine landscape connecting harmoniously to their surrounds. Built with humble means and function in mind, these simple huts represent a way of life. A realisation that having less can align us in the moment with clarity and contentment.
28 tonne of granite rock was hand selected from the land and hardwood timbers were sourced to build with. Mill Cabin is committed to treading lightly and ensuring that all methods from construction to operations are environmentally friendly.We believe that our collective impact on the planet should be as minimal as possible.
Immersed in 360º of seclusion means that the cabin is in the thick of some incredible wildlife. We respect their space and acknowledge that we are on their patch.
