About this house rental

Eucalyptus Retreat- stay in this unique Tiny House in a pristine Adelaide Hills location. Built to delight, nurture and inspire, this getaway is set in a natural eucalyptus clearing with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. Connect, unwind, immerse yourself in nature whilst enjoying this bespoke and luxurious space. Enjoy long walks with views of the Coorong and surrounding hills. Perfectly located to enjoy the wineries, country pubs, cafes and historic towns the area is famous for.

This Tiny House brings together key elements that make a place special – a hand crafted/locally built structure, well positioned to capture views in every direction, a sense of solitude, key environmental principles and an authentic connection with nature.
It sits robustly on an elevated clearing of our 20 acre rural property, secluded and surrounded by native flora and fauna. Not strictly off grid but powered by our excess solar energy it combines the convenience of regular electricity with high environmental standards There are resident kangaroos on the property which can be observed from the deck and picture windows.


Bedroom.
The Queen size bed sits partially separated at the far end of the structure with oversized picture windows. Relax on the super comfy bed gazing out at the rural scene bathed in dappled sunlight. We have used the natural products of linen, bamboo and organic wool on the bed and there is an electric blanket for those cold Adelaide Hills evenings, a ceiling fan and A/C for warm summer nights. There is ample space to store your personal belongings - Bags can be conveniently stored under the bed.

Lounge
The purpose built sofa is large enough to recline on and faces the deck and view promoting a sense of light, space and relaxation. The large coffee table provides a comfortable indoor dining area. The reverse cycle air-conditioner ensures year round comfort. There is a smart TV that you can hot spot from your phone for Netflix, Prime Stan etc. No TV antenna. We provide a hard drive with over 50 movies.

The kitchen is surprisingly spacious with hardwood benchtops and a large window overlooking a forest of slim gums. There is a small fridge, microwave, a 2 pot electrical stove, and enough cooking utensils to prepare simple meals. The kitchen is amply stocked with glassware, crockery and cutlery. Complimentary tea, coffee, milk and some basic pantry items are provided for your convenience.

Arriving at Eucalyptus Retreat, we were greeted by two charming alpacas and a lovely donkey. They helped set the scene for a lovely, relaxed weekend in charming Macclesfield. The accommodation is compact but not squeezey and had everything we could have asked for. The deck was a lovely place to relax, take in the views, cook our dinner on the barbecue and watch the sun go down. We ventured out to explore Macclesfield, having a delicious lunch at the charming Three Brothers Hotel, and exploring the Crystal Lake, also in town. The rest of the time we were happy soaking up the views surrounding our lovely accomodation, watching magpies, kookaburras, rosellas, and even a couple of kangaroos come and go. Thank you Michelle for a very special weekend.
