Kereru Retreat

The Kereru Retreat was designed to be adaptable and portable to different environments and climates and to be a place for complete seclusion from the city. With a focus on efficiency in planning and a foundation built on sustainability and simplicity, Studio Well offers a house that fully engages with its surroundings. The handcrafted alpine tiny cabin is fully off-grid and is powered by the sun, and can be easily transported as a trailer. The cosy interior features a sleeping area up on a mezzanine level, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a small wood-burning fire. You can rent this particular cabin through Airbnb, a the perfect escape for couples and solo adventurers.
