You will start to smile and relax as soon as you arrive at your little studio.
The bed is very comfortable and the studio has lots of thoughtful extras; you’ll love our breakfast provisions.
Wander through our village, with many different styles of houses and gardens. In this lovely north facing studio, you will find good quality linens and towels, chocolates on your pillow plus more! Your space is adjoining to our home but has its own access path and entrance and is completely independent.
You’ll love our breakfast provisions that we provide for the first few nights of your stay. They include 3 types of milk (cow, soy and oat usually) home grown eggs from our chookies, orange juice, bread, butter and jam plus good old Vegemite. We have a Nespresso pod machine and a plunger (plus instant coffee); we understand how important good coffee is!
Gluten Free crunchy granola, Porridge and hot chocolate are also offered.
We built this place using passive solar design; windows, walls, floors and shading are designed to collect, store, reflect, and distribute solar energy, in the form of heat in the winter and reject solar heat in the summer to make it more comfortable to live in whilst using less energy. Hot water and power all come from the sun and we have rainwater (fully filtered). Your room is north facing and has lots of thermal mass in the handmade earth bricks and sandstone floor tiles; these help to regulate the temperature without using energy; ceiling fan and reverse cycle air conditioning are available.
Wander around our village where we do things differently! The village is the first Eco Village in South Australia (est. 2000) and is 34 hectares with 17 allocated to our farm and 17 to our community. We have approx 200 houses with 300 residents but it feels so quiet and peaceful! The house designs and building materials are all very different; we have straw bale, rammed earth plus more traditional materials.
Please wander around and notice how we do things a bit differently! I’m happy to answer any questions that you may have about our village.
Dogs are welcome but as the space is small, please restrict it to one medium (Kelpie) dog or 2 small (Cavoodle) dogs; please keep them off the bed thanks.
The village requires that dogs must be on lead at all times 😬
Thanks Strongly No smoking - extra $500 cleaning fee will be charged if you do; sadly we have been burned in the past
