Cozy Tiny Home, Perfect for a Newcastle Escape

Description

Welcome to The Wollombi Wanderer!

This 4-acre property backs onto a beautiful flowing river at the bottom of the mountain. You will have complete private access to the river where you can throw a fishing line out or simply sit by the river and watch the ducks and geese that live down there. There are beautiful blue gums in the middle of it and the majority is a clear open space. It is common for several mobs of bouncing Kangaroos to be on the property. Don’t worry, they stick to themselves.

Tiny home sits at the back of the property, 10 meters away from the private river, and overlooks the mountain with cow pastures at the bottom.

We have a resident wombat called "Wally". His burrow is in between the blue gums in the middle of the property. He is quite active but we ask no one to feed him. Wally the wombat is very friendly and keeps to himself.

The Space:
Our tiny house is a lovely studio space of 155 sqft. It offers guests a comfortable stay with its well-equipped kitchenette, complete with a queen-sized bed, ensuite bathroom, air-conditioning, and heating. Perfect for 2 persons!

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 maximize 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 the anaerobic 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 minimizes odors.

If you're using your own soap, shampoo, toothpaste, we ask that you bring biodegradable ones so that the greywater runoff does not harm the environment. Thank you!

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the tiny house and its surroundings. There are no restrictions as we want the guests to get the full experience of the property close by the beautiful bush walks. We own the river at the back so take a kayak down.

Interaction with Guests:
Guests will enjoy their own private space but we are always happy to chat with you.
