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.
