Qii Tiny House - Ukiyo and a Complimentary Romantic Package worth $75

TINY HOUSE DETAILS
Our three “Tiny Houses” each have unique Japanese Zen names…
We will market “Ukiyo” which means “floating world”; living in the moment detached from the bothers of life, “Kensho” meaning “seeing one’s true nature and “Kokoro” meaning a sensory, feeling one gets if we were to take a moment to reflect on the interconnectedness of all things; it is the embodiment of concepts of heart, mind, spirit, will, consciousness and soul.

“Thoughts, feelings, and desires, or will, are all interrelated aspects of what it means to be human, and we would be wise to take all of them, and their interrelationship, into account in order to understand human experience.” – Swanson, 1993

These tiny eco dwellings have been custom built to complement the principles of “Forest Therapy’ or “Shinrinyoku’ which is a popular practice in Japan. Shinrin means “forest” and yoku means “bath.”

Shinrin-yoku means bathing in the forest atmosphere or taking in the forest through our senses. It is a researched-based therapeutic modality with multi-factorial health benefits including stress reduction and elevating mood, and is impacting the world.

The tiny houses underpin “Qii House’s” philosophy and each is immersed in a forest canopy within the Great Otway National Park; a haven for peace and tranquillity. And yes, they do have some “quirk”, including red cupboards, colourful furnishings, a large pantry, queen day bed with three built-in drawers, Smeg appliances, a large round “fishbowl” window, double sliding glass doors leading to your own private deck with a large custom-built eco bath big enough for two, a hammock, yoga mats and some seating. You will also have your own private carpark.

Japanese inspired Thatch communal garden room with seating and a barbeque.

The property has an INFTA internationally accredited rainforest walking circuit for Forest Therapy for your use; The Zaborin Walk. Zaborin is a Zen meditation word meaning to sit and forget. Together with the character for “woods”, it encapsulates the essence of our purpose, to sit, to forget, to unwind, and to absorb the natural beauty within the forest. To breathe…in mind and body.

There is a delightful Japanese inspired thatch garden gazebo for use as a communal cooking facility. It houses bench seats, a small red table and a Gasmate Barbeque. A few metres away you will find a Billabong to further enhance your forest bathing experience.; The “birabon” is the Japanese term and namesake. It will provide you with a magical wildlife exploration and meditational setting for contemplation. You will find another Japanese Thatch garden room at the waters’ edge and ample seating, another space to deepen your connection to nature. And an ideal perch for birders.
