About this property

A unique, luxurious, eco-friendly hempcrete home on Bruny Island. Pet friendly!

The Tassie Hempcrete Houses are the only short-stay accommodation of their type in the world.

When you stay at Sativa House in the friendly coastal township of Alonnah, you will be surrounded by many beautiful and eco-friendly things made from the amazing hemp plant, including the walls of the homes.

As featured in the Sydney Morning Herald 'Traveller' and built with locally grown and processed hemp, these eco-friendly, peaceful and luxurious holiday homes are a first for Tasmania. Set over two levels with a central timber staircase, guests experience truly unique and quiet accommodation, showcasing this incredibly versatile plant.

You will sleep on handmade mattresses dressed in premium hemp linen; use divine Australian made hemp bathroom products; sample Tassie-grown-and-processed hemp foods; have the option of enjoying a complimentary cocktail mixed with hemp spirits from our mini-bar, or simply relax while overlooking the magnificent D'Entrecasteaux Channel.

Pets Welcome + EV charger available at Sativa House.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I'm a Tasmanian woman who returned home permanently in late 2019 after a decade of living in the USA.

My ten years in Colorado plus a five-year stint living in London in my early 20s have left me with a great network of mates around the world who, in the past, I have visited with and hosted as often as possible. I kind of feel like I've been unofficially hosting visitors since before services like this platform existed!

While I've loved my years of travelling, and prior to COVID I used to do a lot of it for work and pleasure, I'm now having a break for a good while, so focusing my attention on hosting guests.

Why they chose this property

Bruny Island is one of beautiful places on the planet.

The original inhabitants and First People of Australia (the Nuenonne band of the South East tribe) called this land Lunawannalonna.

I’ve been visiting the island regularly for over 25 years, and make the journey south from my home in Northern Tasmania at least once every month to enjoy the magic of this peaceful place.

I feel very fortunate to have been able to buy this small piece of land in 2018. I built these hempcrete homes in 2021 - the first using locally grown and processed plants from the X-Hemp mill, a business I founded in 2020 - and am delighted to now be able to share the experience with visitors.

I want all my guests to have the most relaxing and enjoyable time during a stay at the Tassie Hempcrete Houses, and this list of Frequently Asked Questions means you can be prepared for all aspects of your visit.
