Nestle into Luxury, Your Eco-Friendly Tiny Home Escape

Welcome to Candlebark Ridge, a unique off-grid tiny home nestled amongst 18-acres of untamed native bushland in the foothills of South Sister, just north of Saint Marys on Tasmania’s rugged east coast.

Overlooking the neighbouring farmland to the north and the Tasman Sea to the east, this adult-only experience is a perfect option for those seeking time out in a serene and cosy setting.

Breathe in the cool, clean air while enjoying an outdoor bath on the deck, and listen to the sounds of native bird life while you soak in the spectacular sweeping views over the ocean below.

Do not hesitate, book here! The home and the views are incredible. The hosts have thought of every possible thing. It is most definitely the best Airbnb I've been to."

  • Our rates fluctuate based on seasonal demand throughout the year.

    We will often run promotions, giveaways and discounts which you will see on this website or by following us on Instagram @candlebarkridge

  • We offer a range of essential pantry items, including Ritual ground coffee, assorted teas, hot chocolate, sugar, rice, pasta, granola, olive oil, salt, pepper, and a selection of herbs and spices.

    Additionally, guests have access to a Moccamaster drip coffee machine, an Arke carbonator, and supplies for crafting cocktails, including dried fruit garnishes.

    Due to our remote location, we recommend preparing by purchasing supplies before reaching the nearby Hilly's IGA in Saint Marys. They provide a variety of locally sourced cheeses, cured meats, fresh fruits, vegetables, and gourmet ready-to-cook pizzas and bases.

    Additionally, the township features a fantastic local pub offering hearty meals every day of the week, along with various cafes and bakeries.

  • Due to the steep gradient of our driveway, access to the car park is via All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles only.

    Guests arriving in Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) vehicles will need to park at the top of the driveway before the gates and take the rest of the journey on foot (around 50 metres to the flat carpark area) with their belongings.

  • The idea of our escape is to switch off and enjoy the peace and quiet, without relying heavily on technology.

    There is a reasonable service available for those with Telstra and Optus who wish to use cellular data to watch shows or movies on their handheld devices or laptops.

  • Please note that our accommodation is designed for adults only.

    Reservations for individuals under 18 must be arranged in advance upon request.

    Due to the steep and uneven nature of the land and the fact that our property is unfenced, we usually don’t accept bookings which include infants, children or pets.
