About this property
The Pink Lake Tiny House - 'Sakura' - Lake Bumbunga (Lochiel)
A uniquely crafted, specifically designed and hand-built, eco-friendly “tiny house”, situated directly across from South Australia’s most accessible and iconic pink lake - Lake Bumbunga.
Cosy and tastefully decorated inside with many thoughtful and clever design features. Downstairs there is a living area, kitchen and bathroom, and upstairs 2 loft bedrooms with authentic Japanese futon beds. The outdoor deck has a very comfortable "egg" chair and table and chairs that overlook the pink lake. A variety of entertainment options including board and card games and karaoke wifi microphones are provided.
The tiny house is a self-contained primarily "off-the-grid” accommodation facility, ensuring your stay is gentle on the planet. Electrical power is generated through solar panels on the roof and then stored in a battery. Rainwater is collected on the roof and stored in a 5,000-litre tank. The bio-composting toilet is odourless and eco-friendly. For guest comfort, mains electricity and mains water are also connected as back-up.
Perfect accommodation for a unique getaway for either couple or family with children (suggested over five years old due to the loft bedrooms).
Take stunning pictures of the pink lake at the best times of sunset and sunrise. The location is also very convenient for day trips to both Clare Valley and Yorke Peninsula.

About the host
Hosted by Michael Seeliger
Hi I'm Michael, the Co-owner who was born and lived most of my life in South Australia. I have travelled widely and have lived interstate and overseas. With many years of experience of working in the International tourism industry, I enjoy hosting guests, media and travel agents and showcasing authentic South Australian experiences to visitors. I aim to provide a unique tiny house experience delivered with a high standard of cleaning and with exceptional customer service. I enjoy reading positive reviews from our guests.
Why they chose this property
This tiny house is purpose designed to offer a unique experience of tiny house living with a strong focus on eco-sustainability.
Tiny houses have generated considerable media interest recently, but very few are available to stay in as short term accommodation.
Perfect as for a memorable getaway for singles, couples and families (up to 4 guests).

What makes this property unique
The majority of people who drive from Adelaide to see the pink salt lake come during the middle of the day, unfortunately missing the best times to see the lake, which is at dusk and dawn. So to get the best social media photos, why not stay nearby?
There is a lot of interest in tiny houses around the world now - so stay in one for yourself and try it out?
Guests really enjoy living a simple life for a day or two and the the entertainment options provided are also a great way to connect with your travelling companions.
