About this property
Off grid tranquillity with beautiful views and no other house in sight
Dramatic sustainable house designed for his own dwelling and holiday rental by Philip Boorman who has many awards for his outstanding Architectural work and furniture designs.
Located on the escarpment in the centre of the 125 acre site. This privileged isolation has allowed the house design to be opened to the expansive surrounding valley and mountains by the extensive use of timber framed bi-fold doors and windows. Solar panels generate the power supply and roof water is collected in tanks for filtered reuse within the home.

The serenity and tranquility of the surroundings was blissful. The eco lodge was stunning lending itself to its natural surroundings allowing us to enjoy and take it all in where ever we were in the home. perfect place to disconnect and re-connect with nature!
We loved our stay at the lodge. The location is so beautiful, stunning views and waking up to the sound of birds. Mary and Warwick were very responsive and helpful hosts.
Absolutely beautiful property. Very secluded location with spectacular views. Very comfortable house with wood fire. Our dog loved it as much as we did.

This was our second stay. Love the location, views, and being able to bring our dog for a relaxing family holiday.
We had a great stay at this well designed house. It was very clean, comfortable & exactly as described in the listing. It had stunning sunset views from the side of the house. No ceiling fans in the bedrooms, but did have pedestal fans available. Wifi very minimal.We’d definitely recommend this house and would stay again.

Peaceful secluded location with stunning views, still within easy access to local shops and restaurants.
The lodge is our favourite holiday accommodation in all of the world! Surrounded by forest and with wonderful views of the Obi Obi valley and not another house in sight. We really love the drive down through the bush on our own private road to reach this private, off-grid, peaceful refuge. Mary and Warwick are perfect hosts and ensure that everything is just right. Thank you both for providing this paradise which enables us to relax and recharge our very souls.We can't wait to be back.
Amazing property- peaceful, very comfortable, environmentally friendly & stunning views. Great communication with host. Lovely short break for the family.
