Wattle Tiny House - Outdoor bath with Views and Vintage style

AMAZING BLUE MOUNTAINS VIEWS
Fully self contained vintage style retreat in a bushland setting
with wonderful views of the Blue Mountains - ideal for a couple wanting a peaceful get away.
2 night minimum stay is required.
A getaway for lovers of the vintage style so please dont expect straight lines and perfection here but it is very clean and does have modern conveniences !
We have tried to retain its heritage feel by keeping the old posts and lovely old floors which give it the character we love.
Some of the door heights are lower than in a normal house so tall people may need to duck .
we have combination of the lighting inside which includes table and standing lamps that give it a cozy romantic atmosphere .
The bedroom has reading lights either side of the bed if you like to read in bed and need more light.
Bathroom and toilet do have ceiling lights .
lounge and sink area have ceiling lights on switches next to the front door that are run on solar power so we like to keep them for emergency use if there is a power blackout but can be used at other times for short periods of up to 2 hrs only if needed but must be turned off after this .
( these switches are clearly marked as solar so simple to use )
This entry area does also have a separate wall light switch above the solar light switches which is run on mains power so it can be used at any time you like.

Our amazing outdoor bath with hot and cold running water
is easy to use just turn on the taps at the bath.

We only supply firestarters and kindling - so you will need to pick up bagged firewood from petrol station.

Split system air conditioner for heating or cooling if you dont wish to use the fire and along with electric blanket with dual controls on the comfy bed will keep you warm and cosy on winter nights
