Pink Lake

The Tiny House was comfy and had unique touches, with a Japanese influence on furniture and style. Even though small, it was spacious as the house was not full of furniture. 30-35 minute drive to Clare Valley, It is right next to the main highway, so if. a light sleeper can be loud.

Thank you for your review and for your recent stay in the tiny house. Earplugs are supplied free for any guests who are really light sleepers. Most guests to date have had no issues with noise.

Hi Jason, Thank you for your review. Sorry to hear you found the Japanese futons a bit thin, they are different to usual mattresses but are very good for your back. They may take a little getting used to if you usually sleep on a soft mattress. - Michael

Best First Tiny House Experience Ever 😊

My 15 year old son and I have only glowing things to say about our 3 night stay at The Pink Lake Tiny House 😊 To begin with, the location was beautiful and unique - directly across from the Pink Lake, with its stunning sunrises and shifting hues of...pink! Noise from the trucks and semis on the main road was surprisingly reassuring, as there’s not much around other than the yummy cafe next door, and the church which was empty during our mid-week stay. It was the epitome of an Australian country getaway experience - somehow the perfect balance of serenity in nature, and intermittent buzz of humanity! The tiny house itself was such a delight. Super modern, gorgeous mix of Japanese and European influence, with a fresh clean smell that welcomed us the minute we stepped through the door. My son loves all things Japanese, so the experience of sleeping on futon beds in the upstairs lofts, (complete with cute plush toys and tatami mats on the floor), removing shoes inside, and the overall “cute” vibe of the house will have to do until he is able to actually make the trip to Japan! Like many others, I’m becoming obsessed with the concept of living in a small house, and The Pink Lake Tiny House was the perfect first experience to see how it’s done. The eco-toilet was not smelly at ALL, and was easy to use with clear instructions from Michael, our host. We felt very conscious of the water and power we were using, and felt more inclined to respect the little patch we were living on for those 3 nights 😊 Very inspiring. Our host Michael definitely deserves his super host rating...easy to communicate with, speedy email responses to questions, and one of our highlights was when he thoughtfully drove up with a fire pit on our last night, providing deck chairs, marshmallows, and a chat! We’d thoroughly recommend this place, and we have a feeling we’ll be back again soon!

Would recommend

Property was perfect for a weekend stay. Right next to a great cafe that did one of the best breakfasts we have had! Even though it is located on the main road and plenty of trucks driving past the sound didn’t bother us. Great location for a trip to the beach or dinner in Clare. Really enjoyed the games that were provided especially the karaoke microphones. Would 10/10 recommend to stay here.

This was one of the best stays in one of the best locations we've been to so far. I've always dreamt of staying in a tiny house and this was the perfect location to do it. Pink Lake is magical in all lights, sunrise sunset, sun or clouds. Remote and beautiful, with the Pink Lake right in front, stars at night. It is so cute and comfortable. There's everything you could possibly need for a short stay, plus more. The only negative is noise from high speed highway and trucks from time to time, but earplugs are provided, although at night, the number of vehicles greatly reduce. Absolutely loved it. Wished we could stay forever! :)

Loved it, such a great tiny house, awesome experience!

We loved the tiny house and all it's little gadgets and the way it was set up - so many great little touches. The only down side was being right next to the main road on such a busy highway, awesome that earplugs are provided!

Thank you for your review. The road is not far away it is true. Very few of our guests have been bother or commented on it, however to accomodate any light sleepers we decided to provide free earplugs as we value our guests sleep quality!
