Welcome to Cuttlefish Cottage

This fully self contained mud brick cottage was built over the course of 3 years with many hours of volunteer help and a earth building workshop thrown in for good measure.

Available anytime you’re feeling a little peopled out, come enjoy this sanctuary.

A little history behind Cuttlefish Cottage

Cuttlefish Cottage is a labour of love - there’s no two ways about it. From the moment Ben saw the hillside cutaway he knew he wanted to fill it with a building.

Something that became part of the landscape.

A living breathing space that reflected it’s coastal suburban location.

Somewhere that made you feel like you’re being hugged by a building in the best possible way.

An organic space with solar passive design.

What’s on offer

Backyard bush tracks

Head bush straight off the deck, away from folk and without even having to cross the road.

An orange sofa with a maroon guitar resting on it, a glass table with a brown teapot and two small cups, a pink armchair, a small side table, and a tall lamp in a cozy living room

Built for comfort

Enjoy lounging around after a micro bushwalk, swim or simply appreciating being exactly where you are.

A table with a yellow and green striped towel, an open magazine showing a house interior, two cups, a bowl with tropical flowers, and a blue tablet cover. The table is outside a house with sliding glass doors, a wooden frame, and a pair of sandals on the porch.

Alfresco dining experiences

With so much space to yourselves, choose your own dining adventure.
