Eco-Friendly Glamping Retreat overlooking Lake Bumbunga, South Australia
This enchanting eco-friendly South Australia glamping retreat overlooking the one-of-a-kind Bumbunga Lake is perfect for a true nature holiday. Guests can stay in comfort in a uniquely crafted, custom-built, eco-friendly tiny house situated directly across from South Australia’s most accessible and iconic pink lake - Lake Bumbunga, only one and a half hours’ drive from Adelaide. It is the only accommodation in the vicinity.
The concept of this tiny house is a self-contained, off-the-grid accommodation facility, ensuring that the guest’s stay is gentle on the planet and climate-friendly. Electricity is generated through solar panels on the roof and then stored in a 5KW battery. The tiny house uses rainwater collected on the roof and stored in a 5,000-litre tank and mains water is also connected (due to low rainfall). Shower greywater is filtered and then waters a plant bed. Mains electricity is also connected as a backup.
The tiny house sleeps four people on four high quality authentic Japanese futons in two loft bedrooms. The kitchen facilities include a gas stovetop, a refrigerator, a microwave, a coffee machine, a toaster, a rice cooker, a kettle, soybean milk maker, and basic cooking utensils. Bathroom facilities consist of a rain & hand-held shower, a vanity-basin, a mirror, towels, a hairdryer, and a odourless bio-composting toilet.
The hosts provide a number of great facilities to ensure a very comfortable stay including reverse-cycle air conditioning, a Bluetooth music speaker, free Wi-Fi, board games, and karaoke microphones.
The accommodation is self-catering unless a hosted package is purchased (additional cost).

The pink salt lake, Lake Bumbunga with its huge Loch Eel monster sculpture, is directly opposite the tiny house. A stay here means guests can take stunning photos of the lake at sunset, see the stars of the amazing Milky Way at night, and wake up in the beauty of nature.
Only a short drive away, the Clare Valley wine region has an amazing array of fine restaurants and cellar doors.
The scenic beaches by the coastal towns of Wallaroo and Moonta Bay on Yorke Peninsula are also only 40 minutes away. Guests can soak up local history with a visit to Bungaree Station, the oldest working family-owned sheep farm, which has historic buildings dating back to 1841.
The tiny house also has blue-tooth music speaker and a range of board and card games and WiFi karaoke microphones, which are a great way to connect with travelling companions.
