The 'Ol Shack out the Back

The ‘Ol Shack out the Back has been lovingly restored in a sustainable approach.
Enjoy going back to basics and staying in a bygone era type rustic bush hut style.

The ‘Ol Shack has been created with sustainability in mind. Everything has been upcycled & second hand, by us. It is our labour of love.

The Shack is a studio type cabin with a queen bed, kitchenette with tea and coffee provided and a bathroom ensuite.

Microwave, bbq cooking and toaster available.

Our water is sourced from the local scheme. It’s old and the shower water pressure is low.
Filtered rain water is provided for cold drinks, tea & coffee.

The Shack is a unique space, back to basics / rustic charm.

A unique experience for travelers who like the bygone era feel.
