Hidden in the heart of Queensland wine country, Barrel View was designed to reflect what is the most popular tourist attraction in the area: wine. Just a short drive from an assortment of Ballandean wineries, three barrels invite guests to experience the local countryside in a whole new way.

For such a unique project, the owners of the Barrel View architecturally designed and built the cabins themselves. The entire exterior is cladded in high-quality Spotted Gum timber, sourced from a local sawmill and precoated in CUTEK® Extreme CD50. To further enhance the protection of the timber, it was coated in CUTEK® Extreme CD50 and tinted with CUTEK® Colourtone, Sela Brown.

By adding a CUTEK® Colourtone to the project, this ensures the timber will retain its natural colour for as long as possible while also protecting it from the harsh Australian sun. CUTEK® Colourtones provide timber with UV protection, maintaining the desired colour of the project and highlighting the natural beauty of the timber.
