Retreat and Lodges

Little House Republic offers a unique and sustainable off-grid experience that will nourish your soul. The luxury retreats are nestled in the serene Scott River peppermint trees on 740 hectares of private property, providing the perfect getaway for those seeking to connect with nature in style.

These architecturally designed ‘little houses’ exemplify sustainable tourism, displaying how you can make a lighter impact while travelling. Powered by solar energy and rainwater, each property is thoughtfully designed to immerse you in nature from the moment you arrive.

Vern’s Ridge is nestled above a historic, abandoned farmhouse, large picture windows connect you to the outside throughout the property, creating the sensation of sleeping in the trees. Snuggled on the bed, sipping sundowners on the deck, or wrapped in a blanket toasting marshmallows around the outside firepit, you have front-row seats to nature’s show.

The Slip Rails is lodged in the middle of two hillocks surrounded by peppermint trees and undulating hills and valleys. The romance of the Australian stock routes is imprinted on this site, where generations of stockmen boiled the billy before driving the cattle through the slip rail fence on their way home. Imagine yourself cosied up on the window seat, lost in a good book, while the indoor fire crackles and the distant, wild Southern Ocean roars in the background.
