A wildlife loving surfers perfect getaway location.
Listen to the ocean, birdcalls and wildlife.
Almost glamping with our simple facilities.
We make comfort as a prerequisite to relaxation.
Pet friendly.
It feels like wilderness as you drive through the forest to your accommodation but actually only 2.5 ks from the beach.
We have created a very casual holiday place.
We've used recycled materials, beautiful old bridge timbers & farm hardware.
There is a minimum to clean & care for, so you can relax & appreciate how little things become precious, like the sounds of wildlife & the ocean & that tang of salt in the oxygen rich air.
Recently we changed our listing to 2 night stay for travellers convienience but honestly so many guests express their wish they had stayed longer.
It's a destination rather than an overnight stay.
The shed studio is accessed via country dirt roads which are very private.
We will send you a map with the directions.
2WD vehicles are ok, although high clearance is recommended on forest roads. An SUV is perfect for all weather.
The studio is attached to a large farm shed which stores nursery equipment. We have partitioned half the shed to be a games room, with a table tennis table, bats & balls. Yoga equiptment. Chalk for artists to draw on the concrete floor or for hopscotch, there is room for little kids bikes & a fence can be created to kennel your dogs. This space is accessed from the Studio or through big sliding doors to the outside.
Our solar is 12 volt, not 240. This means that regular appliances won't work here. We have installed low voltage power points to for usb charging.
The lights are solar powered, the cooking gas powered.
A Ryoko Pro is also available and can be used for internet or hotspot from your phone.
The studio is on the eastern side of our 30acre property, adjacent to Yarriabinni National Park & 20 minutes walk to Grassy Head beach.
It's a blessing to be able to walk out the door & onto unspoilt forest tracks to walk to the beach. (30minutes)
The Shedstudio is on 3 levels.
Downstairs is lounge, dining and open plan rustic cooking area.
All kitchen equipment is provided. There is a double gas cooktop inside & a gas bbq outside. A small 12v fridge & freezer. For longer stays we leave a large esky.
The sink outside the kitchen is used for washing up but you have to heat the water inside.
The second level bathroom is connected to the shed by an outside walkway. It is two corrugated iron units. One is a compost toilet, which doesn't flush but in every other way is like a regular one. The other is a Smartek gas heated shower. Smartek also heats water at the bathroom sink.
The upstairs loft of approximately 46 square metres is a divided into 3 rooms by roll up wooden Balinese privacy partitions. Bed configurations are one queen, one queen with canvas curtain for those who don't like the breeze, & the third area has two single beds, which can be moved if needed. All beds have mozzie nets.
We can comfortably sleep 5 people in 2 queen beds & 2 single beds.
Beds are made with cotton sheets & pillows. There are with blankets and doonas to suit your needs.
Beds & pillows have protectors.
Bath towels are also provided.
The loft has shadecloth on 4 half sides, double glass sliding doors onto a deck.
There are no windows upstairs, its glamping!
The grounds around the shed are relatively flat and regularly mowed, there's heaps of parking & playing areas. Please understand to protect wildlife dogs are not permitted in the park but welcome to roam around the farm. Another consideration is the risk of fire. We have a small outside fire pit but put it away when the conditions are not suitable.
It's exciting to be sharing our beautiful unspoilt environment with like minded people.
