The Space:
Gumnut Cottage Gippsland: A Hamptons-Style Haven for Couples...
Step into the cosy charm of Gumnut Cottage Gippsland, a 26m² Hamptons-style eco-house blending sustainability with luxury. The snug king-sized bed, with just 45cm around the edges, offers a cosy retreat; but may not suit all guests.
Primarily off-grid, the cottage includes back-up power for added comfort. Thoughtfully designed, it proves sustainable living can be both elegant and chic.
Inside, the pitched ceilings with exposed beams create an airy elegance, while every detail is crafted for your comfort. Sink into the snug king-sized bed, draped in luxe linens, with the bedroom offering a cocoon of calm. The ensuite invites relaxation, featuring an extra large shower with a waterfall head, waffle weave bathrobes, and goat milk soap—complemented by slippers for you to take home.
Whether you’re planning a romantic dinner on the 30m² deck or a cosy movie night with smart TVs in both the bedroom and living room (Stan, Netflix, YouTube, Free to Air TV), you’ll feel at home. For outdoor enthusiasts, your private festoon-lit area is perfect for evening games, picnics with our provided essentials, or capturing memories at the photo wall.
A curated guest book, available online and in print, highlights local itineraries, eateries, and hidden gems to make your getaway truly memorable. With thoughtful touches like a picnic basket, rain jackets, and board games, we’ve got you covered for every weather.
