Spacious Eco Home Among Native Gardens – Peaceful Family Retreat

Step into our enchanting eco-modern retreat—a sustainable haven where contemporary comfort and natural beauty converge to create the ultimate escape. Designed for flexible living, this home stays refreshingly cool in summer and warmly inviting in winter. Unwind on hammocks beneath charming pergolas, work at a bright desk in a well-appointed room, and reinvigorate in your private gym. Savor alfresco dining on lush, expansive lawns, or dreamily stargaze for an unforgettable getaway.

Need more space?: The property is shared with our separate eco studio (also available for rent), both dwellings have their own private gardens and entrances and are functionally separated (you won't see or hear each other), with about 30 metres between the two.
