About this property

The Little Bush Hut, Nelly Bay

Welcome to Little Bush Hut. A place where you can come to escape. Have breakfast with the birds and sundown drinks with the wallabies. Little Bush Hut demonstrates that good things do indeed come in small packages - making a very small indentation on the three and a half acres of native bush it is located on. A seasonal creek cuts through the property providing running water during the wet season. Whilst it may be a hut by name, you will most certainly not be roughing it!

Little Bush Hut is finished to a very high standard. Kitted out with stylish furnishings, lovely linens and quirky homewares. A small kitchen is equipped with a ceramic cooktop, a full size oven and a single dish drawer dishwasher. Wake your ideas up in the morning with the help of the Nespresso coffee machine.

A large scale sliding door is a feature of the open plan interior slide it one way to completely cover the kitchen or the other to separate the bedroom from the living area. Open up your louvered doors to expand your living space to include your front and rear decks. Take a relaxing bath in the external bathtub housed on the back deck or spend some time under the rain shower in the spacious and sleek bathroom. Little Bush Hut is perfect for couples who appreciate seclusion and luxury.

Enjoy the sensation of bush isolation whilst still being close to everything you may require. Walking distance to restaurants and bars for the fitter, more energetic folk amongst us, or a short stroll of around 200 metres to the bus stop if you would prefer. There are his and hers bicycles at your disposal too! Cycle out to gather supplies and retreat back to Little Bush Hut to hide away and enjoy the unique features of your temporary home.

Laze on the cow hide or perhaps recline on a banana lounge its your choice! Its laid back-bush-luxe at its best.

* Pet Friendly - Little Bush Hut welcomes you and your well behaved dogs there is a secure courtyard area for furry friends to be accommodated in. *

The Little Bush Shack
The Little Beach Shack is lovely.. set in natural and very private surroundings. My husband and I enjoyed the peace, seclusion and watching the wildlife from our terrace. The Shack itself is very comfortable and extremely well equipped. The bed is comfortable and the furniture is also relaxing. A full sized fridge is always a good thing and the cooking facilities are very good. The inclusion of two bikes is a good idea for some people and the choice of two outdoor sitting areas (front and back) lovely. We hope to be back.😊

Cute and cosy
We enjoyed our stay very much. Has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Quirky little place with lots of wildlife roaming around. Tucked away nicely but still very close to local cafes and shops

Escapism
Fabulous stay at ‘The Little Bush Hut’ decided to book a little Mother/Daughter stay plus one very happy small dog. It was so peaceful and extremely private. Short walk to Nelly Harbour. It was extremely easy and very comfortable and relaxing. I would definitely go back sometime. It had all the comforts of home and the outside bath is perfect and can fit a tall person! The little deck out the front was perfect for a lovely glass of wine accompanied by some music from the small speaker provided. Or just the sounds of the many cockatoos is fabulous to listen to!! Loved the whole experience!
