Eadie Escapes | Hutt Living

“The great benefit of slowing down is reclaiming the time and tranquillity to make meaningful connections–with people, with culture, with work, with nature, with our own bodies and minds”  - Carl Honoré

This beautifully encapsulates the essence of Hutt Living, a charming glamping-style retreat tucked in the serene landscapes of Nowa Nowa, Victoria. A place thoughtfully designed to allow you to slow down, reconnect with nature and rediscover oneself. We had the pleasure of speaking with owners Cora and Dan to discuss the thoughtful details and craftsmanship that went into creating Hutt Living.
 
As a special gesture for our Eadie community, Cora and Dan are offering a complimentary local hamper upon arrival. Simply mention ‘EADIE ESCAPES’ in your booking notes, and they will take care of the rest!

 

Hutt Living is a beautifully executed off-grid accommodation experience. What was the inspiration and driving force behind creating this Airbnb?

"The inspiration behind Hutt Living was a blend of personal and professional influences. Dan's 20-year experience in the building industry combined with his travels, exposed him to many innovative tiny spaces, sparking the desire to create one himself. My background in interior design, along with our shared love for spending time in nature and travelling shaped our vision.
The birth of our first baby provided the perfect opportunity to transition into a more flexible career, and so, Hutt Living was born. This new venture allows us to share our passion with others seeking a memorable escape."

Nowa Nowa is a very small town in Victoria, how did you decide on landing in this tiny town and what makes Nowa Nowa a unique remote stay?

"Dan's family has owned a 20-acre property in Nowa Nowa for 25 years, with 5 acres of wetlands that border Lake Tyers State Park. This connection to the land and the appeal of living out of town while still having access to everything we need made Nowa Nowa the perfect location for our accommodation.

Nestled in a serene rural setting, our tiny home offers guests the peacefulness of being surrounded by nature, with the added bonus of nearby towns and beaches just a short drive away."

Although this is a tiny home, the contemporary design and thoughtful styling create a truly luxurious experience. What led you to choose Eadie as your preferred brand for home furnishings?

“Eadie has always oozed quality. We’ve used Eadie on other projects so when we started the design process we already knew Eadie was the perfect match for our vision of luxury living in the great outdoors. With our focus on large windows that serve as natural artwork, we wanted the interior to complement the outdoor scenery. The ivory undertones of the Mayla range provided that refreshing contrast to the earthy hues indoors and out, while the simplistic design met our philosophy of less is more.”

The idea of going off the grid can be intimidating for some. For those considering staying at Hutt Living, can you suggest activities or local attractions to encourage people to take some time away from their devices, reconnect with nature and indulge in quality time with a loved one?

"Staying at Hutt Living offers the perfect opportunity to disconnect from the digital world and fully embrace the natural beauty around you. Start your day with breakfast on the deck, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. Spend your day exploring the stunning natural surroundings—whether it's wandering through the wetlands, braving a cold dip in the nearby waterfall, or enjoying a leisurely stroll along the beaches.

For those with a taste for adventure, there are plenty of local attractions to uncover. As the day winds down, return to Hutt Living for some well-deserved relaxation. You can curl up with a good book, soak in the tranquillity, or gather around the outdoor fire as the sun sets. The warmth of the fire creates the perfect ambiance for an evening of board games, laughter, and perhaps a glass of wine or two. To top it off, don't miss the chance to stargaze under the clear, unpolluted skies—a truly magical way to end your day."

Since completing this exceptional property, we’d love to know if you have any plans for any future projects?

With the success of Hutt Living, we're excited to continue our journey of creating unique living spaces. We're already working on our next accommodation project, an old cabin that will feature dark timber, brass, fluted glass, and marble. While this new design will have a bold and sophisticated aesthetic, we'll still incorporate natural fabrics to soften the space and maintain that inviting, luxurious feel in the great outdoors.
