This little cabin has a nice outlook, elevated over the Charles Darwin reserve and features direct access to the same named walk that goes down to the famous Wentworth Falls. It is an easy 10 minute walk to the village yet is really secluded overlooking an acre of grounds....It`s also a few minutes drive to all the best walks and places the Blue Mountains has to offer.
Recently renovated, it was originally the old boiler/laundry outbuilding of the Grosvenor estate, a landmark property in Wentworth Falls. It has been comprehensively updated, and is really well insulated and strengthened to cope with the winter winds and extremes of weather in the upper Blue Mountains.
It features a mezzanine sleeping area directly overlooking the view with pull down attic style steps to access. There is also a pullout double bed ( which is the sofa on ground level ) in case you can`t quite make it up there for the night.
It has a compact but fully equipped kitchen, proper bathroom with shower and toilet and a nice large private deck out the back with a generous seating area, as well as another protected seating area towards the front of the building.
Although it is small at 16 sq m inside ( incl the mezzanine ) plus 9 sq m deck, it is cute and charming and features many practical design details to make your stay comfortable.
Perfect for a couple who are into tiny houses or just want a cosy weekend away with a sense of adventure or also ideal for solo getaways be it for inspiration, reconnecting with nature or creative pursuits....or all of the above!
The Haiku Hut is a really nurturing getaway experience.
This cabin is located on the same property as the also listed "Origami Apartment" and the "Suenaga Suite" in case you are looking to sync up your stay with other couples, friends or family.
The property is fully self catering and self-check in with all bedding, linen and towels provided. The owners live on site in case any further assistance is required.
There are other basics provided as well: Teabags, instant coffee, salt, pepper, cooking oil, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner and body wash.
There is no washing machine but a laundry service can be provided if required at an additional charge.
IMPORTANT TO READ BEFORE BOOKING.....
Just a couple of things to consider and understand before booking this property:
It can get windy in the upper Blue Mountains. Although the cabin is extremely solid we can get pretty strong winds sometimes on winter days/nights and so you may need earplugs if you`re a light sleeper.
The FOLD DOWN ATTIC STAIRS to access the bed are high and steep so you will need to take care and practice caution when using them. They are also rated to a weight MAXIMUM of 150KG. If you exceed that weight you will need to sleep on the lower level and it also means just one person at a time accessing the stairs. Please note these stairs are not suitable for young children.
Also, contrary to what the website might say ( at certain times depending on whatever booking platform software is being used ) there is actually no hot tub/outdoor spa. There is an old green bath you can see in the photos that fills with rainwater which you are more than welcome to use ....
(Please Note: there will be some building works happening in the adjacent property starting from September 2023 as a new dwelling gets constructed. These will take place Mon-Fri . So far guests have not been too affected by this, please check reviews, and most of the noisy work has been completed already ) updated 27/4/24.
