The tiny house dream.
Boots and I have always dreamed of creating a passively designed, off-grid, eco-conscious tiny home, so you can imagine our delight when we discovered ‘Eyre Way’ on South Australia’s rugged Eyre Peninsular.
This thoughtfully designed tiny home, known as Eyre Way and created by dynamic duo Amanda & Tim, features north-facing glazing for winter solar gain, a pitched ceiling for a spacious feel, efficient cross-ventilation, a solar power system, and a cozy loft space. It’s a testament to living large in small spaces, combining functionality with a touch of moody decor for a truly unique holiday experience.

"Boots and I have always wanted to build a tiny home, not just any tiny home though... we want to build a passively designed, off-grid, sexy beast kind of tiny home.”

Our tiny house obsession is real.
I wouldn't like to admit how many hours I've spent over the years researching my dream tiny home (my Insta and Pinterest folders are shameful evidence); however, on one particular day, I was scrolling the gram and BOOM, there she was, my perfect tiny.
I instantly wanted to book a stay (purely for research purposes, of course); however, I quickly discovered this little gem is located in South Australia... ah bugger.
So, when we began planning our trip around Australia, I saw my opportunity and popped a stay at Eyre Way at the top of my wishlist.
So, after a blissful stay, here’s what we love about Amanda and Tim's gorgeous, cleverly designed tiny home…
