River View Tiny House

Summary: Immerse yourself with nature as we are situated in a quiet rural setting. A great stop from Great Ocean Road, you will get to witness stunning views, beautiful bird life on the banks of Merri River, close to idyllic beaches, and see animals over the fences along the way such as highland cattle, goats, alpaca, and chickens. The tiny house is strategically placed where you can witness the sun setting over the river and where you can relax around the fire pit or by the hammock as you watch a star-filled night sky. We welcome people from all backgrounds to enjoy and take refuge from the busy sounds of the city. De-stress by engaging with nature and you will find here your happy place with the river and farm animals. The Space: Our tiny house is a lovely studio space of 155 sqft. It offers guests a comfortable stay with its well-equipped kitchenette, complete with a queen sized bed, ensuite bathroom, air-conditioning and heating. Perfect for 2 persons! The kitchenette has everything you need to cook your light meals with. A portable cooker, cookware, cooking utensils, cutlery, dishes & silverware, microwave and even a mini fridge. The portable cooker can be kept in the drawers when not in use to maximise space. Our bathroom facilities follow ecologically sustainable principles, including a waterless eco-friendly compost toilet, hand basin and shower (gas heated for hot showers). In Australia's severe climatic challenge of bush fires and drought, we help to save the environment by conserving water using an eco-friendly toilet. Wastes are broken down in the compost toilet via an aerobic decomposition process. It is a waterless system (no need to flush!), whereas a standard dual flush toilet would use up to 350L of water per week. An aeration fan helps in the decomposition process and minimises odours. If you're using your own soap, shampoo, tooth paste, we ask that you bring biodegradable ones so that the grey water runoff does not harm the environment. Thank you! Guest Access: Guests will have access to the tiny house and down to the river. Please note that the river is also accessed by owners and other guests. There is an electric fence that separates the livestock.
