History, nature and the simple pleasures of life come together at CABN’s newest offering, located at The Cedars in Hahndorf.
With nine purpose-built off-grid cabins on 30 acres, the property was made famous for featuring the Heysen family homestead and Australia’s oldest-remaining art studio that is accessible to the public, less than a 10 minutes’ walk from where the cabins are located
“The Hahndorf CABN experience is unique in that guests will stay where the Heysen family as artists lived and breathed their work.

Visitors can discover some of Hans Heysen’s favourite painting locations on The Artist’s Walk, a peaceful trail through The Cedars, as well as observe changing displays from 200 original works in the studios and house.
