Sleep in the Clouds! The Haiku Hut...

This little cabin has a nice outlook, elevated over the Charles Darwin reserve and features direct access to the same named walk that goes down to the famous Wentworth Falls. It is an easy 10 minute walk to the village yet is really secluded overlooking an acre of grounds....It`s also a few minutes drive to all the best walks and places the Blue Mountains has to offer.
Recently renovated, it was originally the old boiler/laundry outbuilding of the Grosvenor estate, a landmark property in Wentworth Falls. It has been comprehensively updated, and is really well insulated and strengthened to cope with the winter winds and extremes of weather in the upper Blue Mountains.
It features a mezzanine sleeping area directly overlooking the view with pull down attic style steps to access. There is also a pullout double bed ( which is the sofa on ground level ) in case you can`t quite make it up there for the night.
It has a compact but fully equipped kitchen, proper bathroom with shower and toilet and a nice large private deck out the back with a generous seating area, as well as another protected seating area towards the front of the building.
Although it is small at 16 sq m inside ( incl the mezzanine ) plus 9 sq m deck, it is cute and charming and features many practical design details to make your stay comfortable.
Perfect for a couple who are into tiny houses or just want a cosy weekend away with a sense of adventure or also ideal for solo getaways be it for inspiration, reconnecting with nature or creative pursuits....or all of the above!
The Haiku Hut is a really nurturing getaway experience.
This cabin is located on the same property as the also listed "Origami Apartment" and the "Suenaga Suite" in case you are looking to sync up your stay with other couples, friends or family.
The property is fully self catering and self-check in with all bedding, linen and towels provided. The owners live on site in case any further assistance is required.
There are other basics provided as well: Teabags, instant coffee, salt, pepper, cooking oil, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner and body wash.
There is no washing machine but a laundry service can be provided if required at an additional charge.

IMPORTANT TO READ BEFORE BOOKING.....
Just a couple of things to consider and understand before booking this property:
It can get windy in the upper Blue Mountains. Although the cabin is extremely solid we can get pretty strong winds sometimes on winter days/nights and so you may need earplugs if you`re a light sleeper.

The FOLD DOWN ATTIC STAIRS to access the bed are high and steep so you will need to take care and practice caution when using them. They are also rated to a weight MAXIMUM of 150KG. If you exceed that weight you will need to sleep on the lower level and it also means just one person at a time accessing the stairs. Please note these stairs are not suitable for young children.
Also, contrary to what the website might say ( at certain times depending on whatever booking platform software is being used ) there is actually no hot tub/outdoor spa. There is an old green bath you can see in the photos that fills with rainwater which you are more than welcome to use ....

(Please Note: there will be some building works happening in the adjacent property starting from September 2023 as a new dwelling gets constructed. These will take place Mon-Fri . So far guests have not been too affected by this, please check reviews, and most of the noisy work has been completed already ) updated 27/4/24.

Mini hut retreat
A cute and sweet place to stay! Thanks Luke for the great details and parking options, the gardens and grounds are beautiful. The hut has a ladder to the loft bed, and steps to the bathroom, but I found it easy to navigate.

Tiny house in the Blue Mountains
We enjoyed our stay in the tiny house. It had all that we needed and offered easy access to the scenic outdoors. A couple of things were a bit less than ideal, although both items were mentioned in the property description; the Wi-Fi was very unreliable and the ladder providing access to the ‘upstairs’ bed was not easy to navigate for a couple of seniors.

The perfect tiny mountain cabin
I spent two nights midweek to do some walking in the Upper Blue Mountains, and this cabin was the perfect base. A magic, cosy wee shack to come home to after a day on the trails. I'm going to look over my schedule and see if I can book again before the start of summer.

Nice quirky little cabin/"hut"
Very convenient for our walking trips (only 10-15 minutes drive to all our trackheads). Good hot shower for the end of the day. It _was_ noisy in the 90 km/h winds, but kept warm with the heater on. Bed was comfy. Kitchen space was a little small, but still quite adequate.

A beautiful little cabin that has been cleverly made from a mix of new and repurposed materials. Had everything you needed for bedding and in the kitchen. Wifi was very patchy so definitely don’t plan to do any computer time. It’s best for just switching off and watching the birds across the bush line. Just magic.

Tiny but fantastic!
Loved our stay at this tiny home. Home in a beautiful, quiet space and despite being small, very comfortable and well appointed. Loft safe and easy to use, other features like dining table beautifully executed. Great communication with the host, photos accurate online, very reasonable cost. We will definitely be back!

This is a very well thought out property, it feels as though the host has truly thought through the challenges of a tiny home. For a small space there is a comfort that feels much larger, the windows to the balcony open for breathtaking views of the area. All the comforts required are provided and with the design you are in awe of the amount of privacy provided. Construction next door wasn’t too loud only issue was the way they block your car in and a little damage to my car paint. No detractor from the property as the host had no control of this and there is forewarning.
