The Shack: A Super Cosy Off-The-Grid Cabin On Bruny Island
Sorry about the radio silence these past few days. I’ve been on a girl’s trip with my Mum and sister to Norway. We did nothing but sleep, eat and hike, it was absolutely magical! Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Norway? *Everyone rolls eyes*.  This morning I’m dreaming of returning to the wilderness and would so love to swap my desk for this simple, earthy cabin in Bruny Island, Tasmania. Affectionately known as The Shack, the cosy bolthole is fully off-the-grid (power comes from solar and wind sources) and is built from reclaimed timber.  Owner Janene invites guest to “beachcomb for art supplies, forage in the herb gardens for breakfast, reconnect with Mother Nature” and kick about in the cosy space, overlooking Sheepwash Bay. Fancy joining me?

I love this linen combination, doesn’t it fit the vibe of the cabin perfectly? If you’re feeling inspired, you can source similar brown and indigo linen bedding on Etsy.

On colder days the wood-burning fireplace keeps the cabin feeling toasty!

The cabin has an indoor kitchenette with outdoor cooking facilities including a glass burner.

Your stay is an eco-living experience. Lights are 12 volts and the hot water is instant gas with an inline pump bringing fresh rain water in for you to bathe and drink.

A pair of king billy French doors open out onto a deck from where you can enjoy dreamy views out over the bay with the snow-capped Southern ranges in the distance. 

From the deck, you can wonder down to the private beach front and launch a kayak, fish or simply stroll along the shore.

Bags packed yet?
The Shack sleeps two (remind me to speak to Per about this later today!) and Janene takes bookings via Airbnb here. Juuuust saying! 

I’ve featured so many charming places in ‘Tas’ recently that I’m starting to see it as a sign (what do you reckon?). Here are a few other homes I think you’ll love:

Captain’s Cottage: a cosy bolthole on Hobart
A relaxed artist’s cabin by the sea
You very own dream island hide-away

Have a dreamy start to the week friends!

PS I loved reading all your comments about whether or not to go for two single duvets or a double on a double bed last week! My conclusion from reading all your comments, e-mails and instagram messages is that the best solution is to go for two queen duvets on a king size bed. Bliss!
