Pink Lake Tiny House - Eco-friendly Accommodation

My partner and I stayed for two nights in the Sakura tiny house. We had a wonderful weekend - the tiny house was welcoming, clean and innovative. Despite its small size, we were surprised at how spacious it was - we never felt that we didn't have more than enough room! Michael has filled the tiny house with incredibly thoughtful touches, including complimentary sweets and a jar to collect some salt from the pink lake. The house is also intelligently laid out and had everything that we needed. Simple touches such as a handrail for the loft stairs show how much care has gone into the design. My partner and I have stayed in many tiny houses in SA and this is by far one of the best! We had a great time sitting on the deck, having a drink and admiring the lake. The location was great and we had a great time visiting some wineries in the Clare Valley and checking out the escape rooms in Blyth (that we discovered in the guest book - there were so many great ideas of things to do!). The only drawback is that you are very close to the main road and it can get a bit loud at night with trucks, but we found that it was only a minor issue and didn't negatively impact our stay.

Had an excellent experience stay at the Pink Lake Tiny House. Mike was a fantastic host and was full of Dad jokes" and entertaining stories! His Eminem impression was a sight to behold..... The Korean BBQ was a great idea and the food we cooked was delicious. The campfire and marshmallow toasting was also great fun

We had a wonderful stay at the Pink Lake tiny house! The house is well designed and well equipped. Michael went out of his way to ensure we had a great stay. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice spot to getaway.

My partner and I stayed one night in the Peony tiny home and had a wonderful stay. The tiny home was surprisingly spacious and had a lot of attention to detail. We had the extra package, including dinner, fire and star tour. The food was good quality and was lots of fun to cook it ourselves on the hot plate. We were able to find lots of cool things in the sky with the telescope and were regaled with entertaining stories around the fire by Mike. Mike took care of everything and went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely and relaxing time away. Would definitely recommend to all our friends and family. Thanks again!

The Tiny house experience was fantastic. Michael was the host above all others. He catered for everything from greeting us on arrival, supplying welcome drinks, organising the Korean BBQ and breakfast.We had the Peony house that was well laid out (Queen bed downstairs and 2 x futon beds up in the loft), very clean and everything you required to say for a night or a few days. Views across the road of the Pink lake were nice and helped with the relaxation.Night time bonfire was lovely, toasting marshmallows, chatting with the other guests and Michael looking after everything. Couldn't ask for a more relaxing time.Recommend it to anyone wanting to experience a Tiny house stay.

Had a nice little getaway over the weekend and it was amazing to say the least.Let’s start with the location. Beautiful spot with a nice little history to it. Both mornings we woke up facing the sunrise on the horizons of the lake. Walking distance from the house to the lake? Literally 2-3 mins walk across the street. (Will touch on this again later). For those of you with a wonderful camera, please bring them with you as the night skies here is amazing since there is barely any light pollution.The house build itself is nice and cozy. “It’s on wheels!!” was my first thought seeing it up close but don’t let that fool you! It’s a lot more spacious than I initially thought. Sure there isn’t a full sized dining table for 6, but the hosts made sure it was convenient enough for us to have our meals on the deck or by the fire place. A full sized toilet and kitchen space too!! You get my point. We had everything we needed for comfort.Back to the location. Yes it’s next to a freeway. Is it noisy? I’d be lying if I said we didn’t hear traffic. BUT the hosts were thoughtful enough to have provided ear plugs. Did I need them? Not really. Sure, there was traffic even at night but the hosts also had a portable Bluetooth speaker we could use to serenade ourselves to dreamland and for that I’m really grateful. Nothing beats good company, music and food. As for food, bring your own. You want a peaceful getaway? You’re bound to be in the middle of nowhere/somewhere secluded. Can’t be bothered cooking? Clare is about 30 mins away by car. Vineyards along the way and nice cafe spots too. Google is your best friend. We found a couple of spots that we’re really fond of.Now for my final verdict. You’ve probably guessed it right. Will I come back? Most likely. Do I recommend? Yes, definitely!!! I do however hope you have an itinerary planned ahead of time before visiting as it can be frustrating to have some of the surrounding gorgeous spots closed at the time of your visit if you’re looking for some adventure around the area.To the hosts, cheers and thank you, it was a lovely trip and I enjoyed it very much. We look forward to our next visit.

The Pink Lake Tiny House was an experience that I family won't forget.The host Michael took care of every detail to ensure that we had a great stay.From the beautiful view, fantastic tiny house, delicious dinner and roasting marshmallows by the fire under the stars (when permitted), we recommend this to any couple or family looking for a unique experience within easy reach of Adelaide.

The Pink Lake Tiny Houses are amazing. It was the perfect stay with everything catered for. The house was immaculate, beautifully decorated and with everything you could need and with a view of the pink lake right in front. The Korean bbq was to die for and Michael was the perfect host. He greeted us with wine and after the bbq we did some star gazing and then sat around a campfire and toasted marshmallows. Truly one of the best holiday experiences we’ve ever had. Thank you so much Michael it was the perfect holiday.

Had a lovely stay Michael went out of his way to ensure we were well looked after. The food was amazing, great wines to top it off. Accommodation well set up modern and clean and a nice deck to sit and watch the world go by. Relaxing by the campfire with entertaining conversations with Michael with his journey in the tourism industry here and overseas covering a wide range of topics and solving the worlds issues one drink at a time.Great to support a local businesses that truly puts in 100% into making the guests experience a memorable one.Highly recommend.

Our stay at the Pink Lake Tiny House is a cautionary tale of Expectation vs Reality. It was also an expensive lesson that artistically cropped pictures and some well-crafted copy on a website doesn’t always reflect reality.My reaction to parting with $800 of my hard-earned money for 2 nights at the tiny house ranges from bewilderment to disappointment to anger. Confusingly, mine seems to be the lone negative review here, which is making me question my sanity.Judging from its website and based on reviews, the Pink Lake Tiny House seemed a good base from which to explore both the Clare Valley and the Yorke Peninsular. After sightseeing in the surrounding areas, I expected to be able to follow the suggestions in the accommodation guide itself: sit on the deck and enjoy some snacks, stargaze, enjoy the outdoors, wake up in nature, observe the ever-changing vista of the pink lake.While the tiny house itself was indeed charming, the old adage: location, location, location - could not be more apt.It would be more accurate to describe the tiny house as the only one of its kind adjacent to a major highway in all Australia.The admittedly cool and very comfortable tiny house is separated from the shores of the lake by something worth highlighting: you will be staying less than 3 meters from the A1, the major highway into and out of Adelaide, along which an endless stream of trucks, cars, caravans, and motorcyclists scream past at 100km an hour, day and night in a relentless, deafening cacophony. It is impossible to have a conversation, let alone to enjoy the outdoors.Noise levels inside the tiny house are no better. The noise kept us up all night, despite the complimentary earplugs thoughtfully provided by the hosts. There’s a reason for those noise walls separating suburbs from major highways.Our expectation of a relaxing vacation in the Australian outdoors in tiny, lake adjacent home was as far from reality as one could imagine. The noise was so bad that although we’d booked for 2 nights, we only stayed 1, as the realisation we’d have more chance enjoying nature and conversation in our own driveway dawned.The Pink Lake itself is worth the drive and a stop of a few hours at most. The host is friendly, helpful and responsive. The tiny house itself is awesome, clean and tidy. But the kindest thing to do with the tiny house would be to move it somewhere else.In contrast to all the other reviews you’ll read here, our experience was that the side of a very noisy major highway is not a suitable place for an overnight experience of stargazing, nature or boardgames. It took me months to save up enough to stay at the Pink Lake Tiny House, and I ended up leaving early. I’m amazed to read the noise did not bother other guests because it ruined the whole experience for us. If you are looking for a quiet getaway, this is not the place for you.
