If you need a break from the hustle and bustle of city life, or are craving the chance to relax, reconnect and re-energise somewhere peaceful – ideally out of phone reception – you've come to the right place. Introducing Tiny Homes Joadja, a collection of four lodgings hidden away in a secluded corner of the Southern Highlands.
These wilderness retreats – known as Elevation, the Rapids, Wilson’s Rest and River Cottage – sleep anywhere between two and eight people, and all feature well-equipped kitchens, outdoor fire pits, air conditioning and cosy queen-size beds. They’re eco-friendly, too, which means they run on solar power, are fully insulated and have been fitted out with all the latest energy-efficient technology.
With each tiny house located just a stone’s throw from banks of the Wingecarribee River, you can easily while away the hours wandering along the river’s edge, listening to the birdsong or keeping an eye out for the resident platypus family. You can also settle in with a good book next to the fire pit, or play board games inside.
And if you do need a dose of civilisation, the townships of Bowral and Berrima – where you can go shopping, sample local wines or dine in at award-winning restaurants – are just a short 30-minute drive away.
But here’s the best bit: from now until August 31, you can score a 30 per cent discount off your very first booking. So, what are you waiting for? Whether it’s a romantic getaway, solo escape or family vacay, Tiny Homes Joadja ticks all the right boxes. For more information and to make a booking, head to the website.
