Concept and Features:

The Wineglass Bay Estate is a stunning lakefront property, nestled just a short distance from Freycinet National Park.

 

The cabins offer a unique opportunity for guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area while enjoying luxurious accommodations.

 

Each cabin is designed as a spacious living and bedroom studio, featuring a cozy fireplace, a well-appointed kitchenette, and a fully functional bathroom. The bathroom includes an outdoor shower, with anti-slip tiles, strategically placed shrubbery for privacy, and a small raised wall that helps define the shower area.

 

Large open windows allow natural light to flood the space during the day, offering guests unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape from the comfort of the bed, lounge, or while preparing a meal in the kitchenette.

 

The selection of materials was a key consideration for the client, with a focus on sustainability, economic efficiency, and harmony with the natural surroundings. As a result, the cabin features wooden floors and walls, and the outdoor shower is finished with grey tiles that seamlessly blend into the environment when paired with the surrounding shrubbery.
