“It is a small insulated structure with an amazing outlook. Everything inside is new and as it is built on a chassis, it does not require council approval.”

The bedrooms in the warm and rustic 1950s main house have kitchenettes and balconies. The owner can occupy the larger portion of the home while two guests are booked in.

A paddock-to-plate lifestyle is possible thanks to a macadamia orchard, fruit trees and vegetable patch.
