Great off-grid experience. Hut remote from surrounding properties. Well designed space. Flushing toilet is a bonus.

Patricia Australia

quiet and secluded, saw wallabies. but also close to places we wanted to go to

Christine Australia

I loved that it was so quiet and tucked away, it was close enough to walk to places and the house was very warm and cosy! very effective heating! All the little extras were great - tea, coffee, glad wrap etc

Kathleen Australia

Very secluded location. A great romantic get away. It is an awesome place to wind down and relax for the weekend

David Australia

What a fantastic and fun place to stay Not our usual kind of choice but we simply loved it. At first I thought showering outside would be strange but I quickly got over that and enjoyed it. Even in cooler weather it was still warm. Had everything we needed in the hut. We used our laptop as a TV.

Stephanie Australia

Awesome little hut with lots of extra items to make a comfortable stay such as beanbags. although initially hesitant about the outdoor shower it was actually good!!

Patricia Australia

the fact that there was no TV, great outdoor shower and the toilet was. challenge at night. loved that there was so much property surrounding the house so close to the beach and yet far from everything.

Helen Australia

Loved the relaxed feel and perfect location. Perfect for us. Would definitely stay again or tell others about it

Cheryl Australia

Jan is a very friendly host, great communication, wonderful property. Loved the isolation, the wildlife, the view from the bi-folds, and the wood burner stove!

Amanda Australia

How the place is different from the usual and contact-free. It gives you an experience you wouldn’t usually have.

  • Hello, My friend James and I are very keen on staying in this lovely place! We will be mountain biking on the Blue Derby Mountain in the day time. If we arrive by 7 pm, will that be ok for check in? Kind regards, Islam
    Afternoon, We have self check in at Bay of Fires Eco Hut, so 7pm is absolutely ok to arrive. We hope you enjoy the amazing Derby/St Helens mountain bike tracks. Regards Jan
    Answered on 20 February 2021
  • Hi, We wouldn't make it to Binalong Bay until about 7pm, is there any possibility that we could check in at that time? This is due to work hours..
    The property has self check-in, so your time of arrival is not really that important. You will be sent a door code the day before your stay Regards Jan
    Answered on 10 May 2021
  • hi there, i am looking at a 2 night stay and was wondering how many units you have on the property? i am after somewhere nice and quiet and secluded without walk by access by other guests etc. thanks jesse
    Bay of Fires Eco Hut is the ONLY hut located within its own setting on a few acres of private bushland. Even though it is only a short walk to the beach, a very private driveway takes you off the street into a clearing in the bush where the hut sits.
    Answered on 12 October 2020
  • Is there a shuttle available to get to the closest beach nearby? What are the other transportation options?
    To get to the beach you just walk. Even if you have a car - it is only a few minutes stroll - 350 meters!
    Answered on 6 October 2019
  • Are dogs allowed
    Thank you. I'm afraid No dogs allowed. There is too much wildlife in the beautiful bush area where the Eco Hut is located. We would hate to scare them away.

Company information

Hi, I moved to Binalong Bay Tasmania from mainland Australia more than 15 years ago. After discovering what a beautiful area the Bay of Fires is, I decided to help others to enjoy the world renowned Bay of Fires on the East Coast of Tasmania. I now have a number of quality holiday rentals and enjoy meeting guests and talking to them about the area.

Property information

Bay of Fires Eco Hut is an off the grid experience. The Eco Hut is deliberately simple. Power is solar, major appliances are gas and water is rain water from a tank. With a nod to the camping experience, the ‘loo with a view’ is just behind the hut and the shower is outside on the back deck. While it may be daunting at first, once you have showered under the stars with no one in sight, you may be transformed. There is no internet or WiFi (unless you have a mobile device linked to Telstra), no TV (bring your laptop if you need it) and, as in most of Tasmania, the only phone service provider is Telstra. The one concession is a bluetooth-enabled or plug-in portable speaker for you to link to if you just can’t live without the music! If you haven’t been put off yet, be advised that the hut is stylish and extremely comfortable. You’ll have instant hot water and a modern caravan-style fridge – both gas-powered. For cooking, there is a stovetop, a microwave (for warming food only) and a WeberQ on the deck. All kitchen items are supplied. We provide commercially laundered, top-quality linen but only for the main bed. NB: The extra sleeping arrangements require you to bring a sleeping bag

Neighbourhood information

The area of Bay of Fires is famous for its amazing beaches. The best one, Binalong Bay Beach is a short 400 meter walk from the Eco Hut. As are many other beautiful walks, both bush and beach. There is a great restaurant, Merestä Eatery, just 450 meters walk, so no need to miss out on a quality coffee. If you want to experience the Bay of Fires from a different perspective, take a boat tour with Bay of Fires Eco Tours - just 600 meters walk! Or ring Tas4x4 Tours for a four wheel drive experience with a friendly local guide. Eco Hut is also within an easy drive (or ride) to the new Mountain Bike trails.
