About this property

Tiny- ECO House -Kensho- WITHIN THE OTWAY NATIONAL PARK, GREAT OCEAN ROAD LORNE

These tiny eco dwellings have been custom built to compliment the principles of “Forest Therapy’ or “Shinrinyoku’ which is a popular practice in Japan. Shinrin means “forest” and yoku means “bath.”

Shinrin-yoku means bathing in the forest atmosphere, or taking in the forest through our senses. It is a researched based therapeutic modality with multi-factorial health benefits including stress reduction and elevating mood; and is impacting the world.

The tiny houses underpin “Qii House’s” philosophy and each is immersed in a forest canopy within the Great Otway National Park; a haven for peace and tranquillity. And yes, they do have some “quirk”, including red cupboards, colourful furnishings, a large pantry, queen day bed with three built in drawers, smeg appliances, a large round “fishbowl” window, double sliding glass doors leading to your own private deck with a large custom built eco bath big enough for two, a hammock, yoga mats and some seating. You will also have your own private carpark.

Beautiful and peaceful
We stayed three nights in one of the tiny houses. The whole time we spent there was relaxing particularly with the outdoor bath being able to look up into the tree canopy. The forest and walk were great. Would really recommend.

Lovely!
My partner and I loved staying in Heather's tiny home. The location is so beautiful and secluded. We particularly loved the outdoor bath! Only negative is the air con - its not very effective, and in summer, we were rather warm! Overall, lovely.

Getaway
A beautiful surrounding for a peaceful getaway. It was too hot for the little fan to keep us cool which was definitely a down side but all in all it was a wonderful place to getaway.

A Little piece of paradise
We really enjoyed our stay at the tiny eco house and loved the peace and tranquility of the surrounding forest. The house was beautifully fitted out and the extra touch of the gifts was very thoughtful. We had a very friendly welcome from our host who always responded promptly when we communicated with her. Would recommend staying at the Tiny eco house if you need a break from the hustle and bustle of life.
