Liptrap Loft • Designed Cabin • No Neighbours

Nestled on five acres with no neighbours in sight, Liptrap Loft is a quiet, design-led retreat for those who love thoughtful spaces, slow mornings, and starlit evenings. Many guests return year after year — and once you experience the bathhouse, views, and open layout, it’s easy to see why.

HiGHLIGHTS

Japanese-inspired bathhouse accessed via timber walkway

5 private acres with farmland and wildlife views

Owner-built, thoughtfully designed loft

Sleeps 2–6 (ideal for couples)

Wood fire, open-plan living, and true country escape



Built by its owner before studying architecture, the loft reflects instinctive design thinking in every corner — thoughtful proportions, unique detailing, and a layout that feels natural yet surprising.



The Japanese-inspired bathhouse is the centrepiece. Enclosed but opening wide to the farmland beyond, it’s reached via timber duckboards from the loft. The deep soak bath is perfect for early mornings or evenings. The outdoor laundry is on the same walkway, blending convenience with gentle connection to the outdoors.



Inside, the open-plan living space features a wood fire, simple kitchen, books, board games, and Sonos speakers. No TV — just time to disconnect, relax, and enjoy the rhythm of country life.



Wildlife visits regularly — wombats, kangaroos, koalas, and echidnas — and the stars are spectacular at night. Surrounding farmland adds to the sense of space and calm.



WHO IT SUITS

Perfect for couples, or small groups comfortable with open layouts. Guests who enjoy quiet moments, thoughtful design, and connection to nature tend to love their stay. Liptrap Loft is unforgettable — but not for everyone.



BATHHOUSE AND POWDER ROOM

Main bath via timber walkway to Japanese-inspired bathhouse

Powder room (second toilet) outside near front door — not ideal for mobility issues

Tank water with electric hot water (not instant gas) — one long soak per stay is ideal; showers anytime
