Cabin Fever

An A-Frame on the top of the world

At the top of a hill on the 7000-acre Kimo Estate sits a modest A-Frame cabin, with a swoonworthy view across Gundagai. At a compact 28 square metres, JR’s Hut makes a big impact, on a small footprint.  This cosy getaway is specifically designed to encourage visitors to disconnect with the digital, and be truly immersed in the natural world – as such, it’s equipped with only the basics – and electricity is limited to a small solar panel with batteries to run low-voltage lighting. With a strict ‘no phone’ policy, the only tweets you will receive here are of the local bird life variety!

A Japanese-Inspired Hideaway in Tassie

Located off the south-eastern coast of Tasmania on Bruny Island, this Japanese-inspired ‘Hideaway‘ cabin was designed as a place of refuge by local architectural firm Maguire Devine. Earlier this year, the tiny retreat was awarded the Esmond Dorney Award for Best New Residential Architecture, the Barry McNeill Award for Sustainable Architecture, AND the Colourbond Award for Steel Architecture in the Tasmanian Architecture Awards.

*Sigh*, another DREAM off-the-grid getaway…!

A Self-Built Tiny Getaway In Regional Victoria

This bush weekender really set Instagram alight when we shared in earlier this year, and we have been thinking about this tiny treasure ever since! Lucy Hersey and husband Nathan built their pocket-sized retreat with a desire to create a space committed to slow living and low environmental impact. Filled with recycled gems and a library of hodge-podge mugs (yes, we really like their mugs), this mini-marvel has off-the-scale charm factor. Small eco-footprint, big beautiful impact!

A Handcrafted Cabin In Gippsland

The Ross Farm Cabin by Andrea Moore and family is a simple and elegant getaway in South Gippsland. This handcrafted accommodation has unfolded under the care and expertise of interior architect Andrea and her family, with influences from Scandinavia and Japan, combined with a distinctly Australian aesthetic. This property combines the raw with the refined, to create a utilitarian luxury location. And just wait until you see the ‘bath’ room… (and yes, you can stay here too!)

A Rom-Com worthy Beach Shack

Josh and Jenna Densten’s adorable little beach shack in Skenes Creek just outside of Apollo Bay is dream coastal getaway, filled with a distinct sense of Aussie nostalgia. The story of how Josh and Jenna secured the place is such a sweet story – after five years of longing (and giving up!) they were unexpectedly offered the opportunity to purchase the property, and jumped at the chance. Since moving in, they’ve fitted out their humble shack simply, with vintage furnishings and a ‘lo-fi’ vibe.
