舒格洛夫 · 洞穴 · 1室0床1.0卫 · 可住2人 · Earthship inspired Unique Space
Our earthship inspired building provides you a private "cave" style room built from recycled materials. Located on 8 acres of forest just 10 minutes drive from Airlie Beach in the Whitsundays. Privacy assured at the bottom of our garden. Your space has exclusive use of outdoor shower (hot & cold) and composting/waterless toilet that both look out onto the forest. An eco/bush experience . Enjoy the sights and sounds of the bush around you. A truly unique experience. Our Earthship inspired building is constructed of recycled tyres which are filled with dirt and pounded (rammed earth) and has a grass sod roof. The entrance to the earthship is via a stainless steel & glass door recycled from a 60 foot luxury motor cruiser. The room is a quiet, cosy comfortable space to enjoy. A selection of books and movies (documentary and general viewing) are available. Good wifi access available however if you prefer to view online TV programs. A special note: The beautiful and more artistic photos shown were taken with the special eyes of Rachel (one of our airbnb guests) who thought the earthship deserved a better online presence. Many thanks Rachel.
Our stay at Earthship Whitsundays was a surprise for my husbands birthday. We were greeted by Kim, he made us feel right at home. once we had a look at our cave for the night, we checked out the outdoor shower/kitchenette and outdoor composting toilet with a view. Sitting with a beer & a glass of wine, looking over the garden and trees, I felt like you do when you've had a weight lifted off your shoulders. This was my happy place! It rained for a few hrs when we arrived. However, the rain made it feel like we were in a tropical rainforest. The Earthship itself reminded us of the underground hotels in White Cliffs & Coober Pedy. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud, the walls had niches with little lights in them making it feel cozy. Netflix & books are available. Cath left croissants, fruit, yogurt, muesli, milk & juice in the fridge for breakfast, Yumm! Before we left we cheated to Cath who was so lovely. We 100% recommend staying here. Thanks Cath & Kim we'll be back.
A beautiful home to unwind and relax in for a day and a bit we were there. Thx u, Kath & Kim.
Gorgeous place made with love . Had a lovely chat with Kim and Kath before we left , great people . The place is so cosy and calm. My partner and I had an amazing night there in the comfy bed . The view out to the trees is idyllic . We’d live there if we could !!
Kim and Kath are absolutely lovely hosts. They have such a beautiful property and the mini earthship was such a comfortable and relaxing experience. So peaceful and quiet! You couldn’t ask for more friendly hosts, they really go above and beyond to make it an amazing experience. The outdoor shower was absolutely wonderful. Well and truly enjoyed our break from the world and were sad to leave! Highly recommend for any one needing a few days to just disconnect but still only about 20 minutes from Airlie if you do want to venture out.
A small "shack" is also housed on the property and is home to our sister/sister inlaw. She is a quiet person who likes her own privacy but is also very friendly should you cross paths. We have neighbours on either side of our 8 acre property. Our neighbourhood is, for the most part, quiet and peaceful. The occasional party can sometimes be heard and being in a rural area some days you can hear the use of grass cutters or leaf blowers ( usually only for short periods). Once you are inside the earthship it becomes your own quiet tranquil place.
Our property is home to a variety of wildlife from the protected bush turkeys who wander carefree. Don't leave the door of the earthship open when you go out as bush turkeys may decide to pay a visit and they can make a mess by flapping around trying to get out again. The males are distinguished by a bright yellow fold of skin around their neck. Many other species of birds are also regularly around. One favourite is a small sunbird (yellow colouring) who build their nests in close proximity to humans for protection from predators. We would be happy to show you if there isn't one hanging somewhere around the earthship during your visit. Monitor lizards both small and large are also sometimes seen and heard scampering through the scrub. Agile wallabies are also native to our area however they are a little more shy of people. Our dog Frida lives on the property. She is only young and still learning what is what. She is very friendly but may bark when you arrive home.
Our property is a 10 minute drive to three beautiful walking trails of varying distance. These trails make up part of what is known as "The Great Walk" series of tracks in many locations around Australia. There are also a number of other walking trails to explore in the area. The Whitsundays has a myriad of activities both on and off the water. We are happy to help you with any bookings you may wish to make.
We are located 10klm from Airlie Beach and taxis are available however we strongly recommend your own vehicle . Depending on the time of year and what is happening in town waiting time for taxis can be long and the cost expensive. Taxis are available at average cost of AUD$40-50 each way from Airlie Beach.
