The Tiny House

Slow mornings on the deck, a wander down to the creek and evenings under the stars. Our off-grid tiny house for two sits in its own private paddock at Wild and Seek in Upper Macdonald, near St Albans.

Warm timber interiors and floor-to-ceiling windows connect you with the surrounding countryside, while a comfortable loft bedroom, well-equipped kitchen and your own bathroom make it easy to settle in. Dogs are welcome too.

Sleeping

Climb up to the loft bedroom, where a Koala queen mattress and fresh linen await. Wake up slowly, put the coffee on and take your time over breakfast on the deck.

Kitchen and cooking

The purpose-designed kitchen has plenty of bench space and everything you need to prepare meals during your stay. We provide Will & Co coffee, organic teas from Little Wildling & Co, salt, pepper and olive oil.

Cook outside on the Weber gas BBQ or, when fire conditions permit, over the fire pit using the cooking racks and utensils provided.

Outdoors

The wrap-around deck has space for morning yoga, long lunches and stretching out with a book. Yoga mats are provided.

The creek is a short walk from the house, and trails run throughout the property. Keep an eye out for kangaroos, wombats, echidnas and native birds as you explore, then settle back on the deck as the stars come out.

Your setting

The Tiny House sits in its own private paddock with open paddock views and the occasional cow for company. The Cabin and Cottage are elsewhere on the property, separate from your accommodation.

The creek and walking trails are part of the wider property. Our wellness area is available to book separately, with exclusive use during your reserved session.

Bell tent

A 4 m bell tent beside the Tiny House gives you another space to relax during your stay and includes a sofa, armchair and games. If you’d like additional guests to sleep in the tent, please message us before booking to confirm arrangements and additional charges.

Optional private wellness session — $200

Make time for a wood-fired sauna, the twin outdoor baths and a workout in the fresh air. A short walk from your accommodation, our wellness area is exclusively yours for your booked session.

The custom wood-fired sauna offers a place to unwind, with twin outdoor baths alongside it. The open-air gym includes a weight bar, dumbbells, resistance bands, chin-up bars and yoga mats.

Your session includes:

• Exclusive use of the sauna, outdoor baths and gym
• Your choice of a morning session, 6am–1pm, or an afternoon and evening session, 2pm–9pm
• Fresh towels
• Guidance for first-time users

Wellness sessions cost $200 in addition to your accommodation. Message us here on Riparide to check availability and add a session to your stay.

What’s included

We provide fresh bed linen and towels, hot and cold water, a fridge, cookware, cutlery, crockery and glassware. You’ll also find hand wash, body wash and toilet paper, plus USB chargers, a portable speaker, board games and books.

Wi-Fi

Starlink Wi-Fi is available inside the Tiny House. Simply plug in the modem whenever you’d like to connect.

Getting out and about

The historic village of St Albans is around 20 minutes away, where you’ll find the Settlers Arms pub and its oak-shaded garden.

For a more active day, explore nearby walks such as Jacks Track for views across the valley. Or keep things simple and spend your stay enjoying the paddock, creek and deck.

The wrap-around deck is made for slow mornings, yoga (mats provided) and stargazing at night. Cook on the Weber gas BBQ or over the fire pit, which comes with racks and utensils for wood-fired cooking.

Our purpose-designed kitchen has plenty of storage and bench space, so you’ll forget you’re in a tiny house until you glance out the window. We supply Will & Co coffee, organic teas from Little Wildling & Co, salt, pepper and olive oil.

The Creek
The creek is a short walk from the Tiny House and a beautiful spot to spend the day. Trails run throughout the property.

Bell Tent
A 4 m bell tent next to the house gives you an extra space to relax in. If you’d like extra guests to stay in it, message us first so we can arrange it.

Your Own Space
The Tiny House sits in its own private paddock, separate from the Cabin and Cottage. The only shared space is the sauna paddock, which is always booked privately.

Add a private wellness session: wood-fired sauna, outdoor baths and gym ($200).

Fresh linen and towels, hot and cold water, a fridge, pots, pans, cutlery, crockery and glassware, USB chargers, a portable speaker, board games and books. The bathroom is stocked with hand wash, body wash and toilet paper. Starlink Wi-Fi is available. Just plug in the modem.

It was a good tiny home, we did have a good experience and a relaxing time.
Although I found the house to not be situated in a great spot. There was so overall great views, you could see the neighbou...rs house across the road and the main road to the driveways.
I felt like there needed to be more cleaning supplies such as cleaning chux and more tea towels.
I feel like for the cost it would’ve be great to be provided basic things such as a small milk, sugar etc.
In the book it stated that there was extra blankets, we couldn’t locate any extra blankets besides 2x throw blankets one for the bed and one for the lounge.

This tiny house was unreal. We loved every second! Has everything you need and super comfortable. Beautiful surrounding area and property. Lots of wildlife! The cows in the paddock right outside the house was my favourite part. Would definitely recommend this place.

Wild and Seek was born out of the need for everyday Australians to escape the hustle of urban life and reconnect with both nature and themselves. The Wild and Seek team worked tirelessly through the design process to ensure every aspect is environmentally friendly and self-sufficient, minimising its footprint on the land and allowing guests to experience what it means to be off grid with a sumptuousness twist.

Exploring St Albans Historic Village

This tiny historical village is worth a visit. The locals call it "Slice of Paradise". No wonder for a hundred years travellers would rest on the main road from Sydney to the Hunter Valley. We visited the St Albans Inn for an afternoon drink where locals gathered as a hub of the village. The drive here was very scenic with a strong countryside and farming atmosphere, make sure to check out Mogo Creek which is a further 10-minute drive from the Inn and get ready to be astonished by the scenic view of the lake.

Lunch At Settlers Arm Inn

We were quite hungry and we discovered this unique inn that was established in 1836. Best feed in town for sure!

The Convicts Trail

This area of Hawkesbury is steeped in history, none more so than the Convicts Trail at Wisemans Ferry. The Convicts Trail was built by, believe it or not, convicts who were sent to build Australia's infrastructure in the 1800s. The trail takes you on a journey of their experience, including Hangman's Rock which has a rather sinister story attached.
