Lovely Tiny House Incredible for Couples Retreats in Knockrow, New South Wales

Description

Set in the lush sub-tropical Hinterland of Byron Bay, this tiny house enables you to decompress, unwind, and immerse yourself completely in nature. This farm stay NSW getaway is cradled among giant gum trees, where you can wake up to birdsong and relax by winding creeks during the day, and at night you can spend hours stargazing around the outdoor fire pit sharing tales and joys.

The Space:
It is a completely private getaway, hidden safe and sound amongst giant gum trees on a gentle slope, giving an outlook over neighbouring farms. A near walk from the cabin will lead you to the winding creek where you will find water dragons and many species of native birds. Bathed in the sun and beside a beautiful green field, the cabin is the perfect spot to head out to nearby adventures such as Killen Falls, Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary and Bangalow.

It's a comfortable, well-equipped tiny home with comfortable and well-furnished guest rooms, wide public spaces, and comfortable seating areas. Easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities included.

The bathroom, however, follows ecologically sustainable principles, including an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste holding tank, hand basin, and shower (gas heated for hot showers). It focuses on satisfying people's needs with natural resources and processes to save water by using eco-friendly toilets to save the environment.
