Off Grid Cob House

Welcome to our cob home!

For those who are new to the concept; cob houses are made of clay-like lumps of soil, sand, and straw. We are eco friendly and off grid making it the perfect getaway from the big city.

Located on a private property surrounded by beautiful, natural state forest. Our cob house includes:

2 bedroom (1 queen + 2 singles)
Outdoor shower (tank water) with gas hot water
Fully equipped camping kitchen for cooking
Outdoor fire pit
Composting toilet system

Kitchen: The kitchen has a gas cooker with pots and pans as well as cooking utensils, some cooking essentials (oil, salt & pepper etc) and a full size fridge. There is no oven or microwave, this is off grid living.

Bathroom: Located outside which runs hot water. Our water is filtered from our dam and gas heated.

Toilet: There is a composting toilet system. Super easy to use, firstly, there is no flush button; after using the toilet please sprinkle some wood shaving in the bowl, this covers your business, immediately neutralizes any smells and prompts the natural decomposition process.

Phones/Wi-fi: You may or may not have reception depending on which provider you are with but again… this is off grid living, just enjoy the space!

We thank you again for supporting our small business.

Love & Respect
Mel & Tom
The cottage features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms.

Peaceful Creative Escape

The Cob House is a true escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, an exemplary example of just how little we need to be happy. The host and all the animals about were incredibly welcoming. Couldn't have asked for a better break from work, the close small towns offer charm and welcoming locals and if you are up for chasing waterfalls, there are so many in driving distance though some might require a decent trek. 100% recommend!

Unique, relaxing, mindful

What a lovely overnight stay! The cottage was very unique, cosy and calming. Our young kids loved all the board games, outdoor games, musical instruments, enjoyed seeing the wildlife (ducks, peacocks, birds, kangaroos, lamas) and had a great time roasting marshmallows in the fire. The kitchen had all the essentials to cook dinner and we loved the serenity of the outdoor shower! Highly recommend a stay here!
