The space
Welcome to The Little Prairie

Tucked away in nature’s embrace, The Little Prairie offers a peaceful escape where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the simple joys of life.

Our off-grid haven runs on a harmonious blend of solar, gas, (and a back up generator should you require), with pure spring water sourced straight from our own natural spring. The property features a cozy three-bedroom cottage crafted entirely from beautiful, recycled native timber, as well as a charming two-bedroom boutique cabin situated approximately 50 metres away—perfect for families or groups of friends seeking space and serenity.

Spend your days surrounded by native bush, wander to the waterfall, or unwind by one of the two outdoor fire pits. Soak beneath the stars in an outdoor bath, watch the kids play in their own little playhouse, or simply relax under the trees on the unique swing.

And don’t be surprised if you’re joined by our affectionate resident tabby cat, always happy to share a little love with guests.
Cat-loving dogs are very welcome too.

Come and experience the calm, charm, and warmth that make The Little Prairie so special.
