Nestled in a lush little valley on the banks of the Blackwood River, Cleves Hut is a damn romantic spot to slow down and connect with nature. The 100% off grid cabin is truly secluded and surrounded by grazing cattle and other wildlife—much of which you can watch pass by from your bedroom.
You won't find a tellie or wifi here, but they've assured us there is phone reception so go ahead and hotspot it if you can't cope without the internet. They've also got a Bluetooth speaker so you can soundtrack your stay with ease, plus board games to keep you entertained. The true showstopper here though is the gorg outdoor bath for two—it's completely private so you can just as easily enjoy a soak in the sunshine or by starlight. Stunning!
Peter The Tiny Cabin By Heyscape
Esperance
Image credit: Peter The Tiny Cabin By Heyscape | Tristan McKenzie
You’ll find a fair few Heyscape cabins listed amongst our faves, but their new Esperance stays might just take the cake for the best tiny cabins in all of WA. There are four cracking homes to choose from—two nestled on an olive farm and two further out in the wilderness—but we wanna call out Peter in particular.
Located moments from the Cape Le Grand National Park, you can spend days out adventuring in Esperance. Enjoy beach hopping between white-sand, turquoise water stunners like Lucky Bay and Hellfire Bay or hike up to Frenchman’s Peak to take it all in from above. Then when you land back home you can run an outdoor bath, pour a wine and bliss out to expansive mountain views while trying to spot emus and kangaroos in the distant scrub before the milky star-studded sky takes over. As far as off-grid stays go, this is the pinnacle.
River's End Retreat
Kalgan

This mighty little shipping container home is proof that good things do indeed come in small (and incredibly luxe) packages. Completely self-contained and set on a working farm, this spot is perfect for couples or solo travellers looking to go off-grid and get back to nature for a bit. Just remember to BYO marshmallows for the deckside firepit (conditions permitting).

Chittering

If you don't feel like going too far, check out Heyscape's luxe Lauren tiny cabin in Chittering,. It's less than an hour from Perth, not that you'd believe that when you're staring up at the stars from the outdoor bath for two, wine in hand. It also gives you a chance to pull into the famous Bindoon Bakehouse on your way home for one of their life-changing vanilla slices.
