Experience a taste of tiny living on the Wild West Coast at Gumboot Paradise. Surrounded by bush, a tropical food forest and vegetable garden, "The Hut" at Gumboot Paradise Eco Stay is fully off grid and comes complete with wood fired bush bath, fire pit, composting toilet and a separate shower with a view of the sky. "The Hut" has an extremely comfy queen bed on the ground floor and 2 single mattresses in a small mezzanine area. Please note that the mezzanine is not suitable for very small children. A five minute walk from the beach where you can swim if the sea is not too boisterous, and a 10 min drive to the famous pancake rocks. Gumboot Paradise is situated on one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.
I live in a bus onsite, also fully off grid.. I am an artist, who loves to garden and create beautiful spaces. I also have some friendly Muscovy ducks, a cat and a pet eel in the creek.
There is a small community on Golden sands Road, just across the paddock, which holds some friendly cows. I have a great neighbour called Bill who lives in a caravan in the front of my property. You may see some wild goats so please keep the gate shut or they may enjoy having a munch on my garden.
