This property is nestled in the quiet outskirts of Breakfast Creek, at the end of our tree-lined "Willow Walk Laneway," where you can rest and savor the clean scents of eucalyptus just as close to home. Aesthetically designed with picturesque modern rustic elegance, where vacationers can enjoy the unique charms of the suburb's slow backcountry lifestyle.

The tiny house's amenities include a split system air con, a kitchenette where you can cook light meals, a portable electric cooker, cooking utensils, cutlery, dishes & silverware, microwave, and even a mini fridge.

Our 20-acre property is located less than two-hour drive from Sydney and is situated 627m above sea level.

We can experience 4 seasons in one day so always bring winter woollies and a raincoat.
Looking up at the sky at night gives you the WOW factor. You will see stars that you never knew even existed with our clear environment.

We are surrounded by National Parks with spectacular lookouts and waterfalls. A 15-min walk through the back of our property, through our own rainforest, takes you to the edge of the escarpment to our very own private lookout overlooking the Illawarra district. A 1.2km walk or bicycle ride up our quiet road surrounded by cattle farms brings you to spectacular Lees Rd Lookout where you can see the coastline from The Royal National Park (Sydney) all the way down to Shellharbour where spectacular sunrises are assured.

We are only 25-minute drive to the wonderful beaches of the south coast which offer a variety of activities to be explored. Foxglove Cottage is located on the banks of Missingham Creek which winds its way through our property. There are ample swimming holes to enjoy the crystal clear water but “please don’t pee in our pool” because it’s Sydney’s drink water!

We have three horses which roam our property in fenced paddocks. Whilst visitors stay, the horses will be kept out of the way. If you wish to meet them, please let us know.
