Kookaburra Cabin

Summary: Wander and explore around our 17-acre property where you can get away from all the hustle and bustle of the city life – truly a time for a country break. Wake up in a tiny house opening onto lawns and forest, collect fresh eggs for breakfast, feed sheep and mini horse, and take a stroll. We are only 3 minutes from Palmwoods town which hosts the famous Rick’s Grage Diner and Palmwoods Pub. The beautiful Homegrown Café is in town and serves a fab breakfast and quite a few beautiful coffee stops. For other places to see, we are just 15 minutes to beaches, 12 minutes to Montville, and 15 minutes to the famous Eumundi Markets. IMPORTANT NOTE : There is another tiny house on this property which is also rented out, so expect some company from other guests as some areas are shared. Please be advised that no children are allowed as we have 3 dams in the property The Space: The tiny house offers guests a comfortable stay with its well-equipped kitchenette complete with air-conditioning and heating. There is a queen sized bed up in the loft and a sofa bed on the ground floor. 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 its surroundings. Walk around the property, have a hit of tennis, swim in the pool (cold in winter) or just relax, read a book and pat the animals.
