Relax. Reconnect. Recharge.

Walking through a pine tree plantation inspired me to build my own log cabins, from felling the trees to building an actual lodge.

The log cabins were constructed using mostly alien vegetation such as pine, poplar, blue gum and black wattle trees, all from the land that KolKol Mountain Lodge is situated on. We selected the big old straight ones and of course… timber!!! These logs were then cut down to length, loaded onto the F250 (with a great deal of effort) and debarked with shovels. Using only a chainsaw, I leveled out all the bumps and dents and then grooved and dipped the logs in a heated container to prevent wood decay. The logs have to dry for about six months. So I let them lie while I got to work laying the foundations of the cabin and laying the floor by hand. That is how I built my first log cabin, it was a unique experience that I can highly recommend. I have since built another eight cabins for the Lodge, my own mountain escape and 5 Scandinavian style pods.”

Hope to see you soon,
