This Tiny Tasmanian Sanctuary Was Designed for the Ultimate Glamping Experience

The west coast of King Island is a true paradise on earth, with breathtaking views of the Southern Ocean and unmatched wildlife. It was one of the best possible spots to create a glamping sanctuary in the form of a tiny house. That is how the Red Rock Hut was born, a custom project built by the acclaimed Alphaline Group, the Australian tiny house builder with an outstanding range of gorgeous models.

A tiny house in the middle of a vast, heavenly landscape is a spectacular sight. It's easy to expect the full-blown experience of a total escape from the urban jungle and deep reconnection with Mother Earth. Yet, there's more than that. At the same time, this is a modern-day heaven built for contemporary tourists, which means that it boasts the amenities and perks you'd expect from a luxury resort. This is, after all, the essence of glamping: an outdoor adventure that's not rough and rugged.

On one hand, the Red Rock Hut exudes the sophisticated, glamorous ambiance of an exotic resort. Behind the rustic exterior appearance and size limitations, this abode is packed with premium appliances, luxury goods (from high-quality linens to fancy toiletries), and carefully chosen décor items. Its interior design reflects the Alphaline DNA, which could be described as a maximized openness towards the outside world. In fact, the line between the inside and the outside is almost dissolved.

This is particularly obvious in the Hut's gorgeous lounge. A huge picture window takes up almost the entire end wall of the house, seamlessly bringing the outdoors in, while the glass entry doors slide away smoothly, opening up the lounge even more. The lounge space connects directly to the exterior deck, resulting in a much bigger relaxation area with no boundaries between the inside and the outside.

As for relaxation, if the elegant sofa inside isn't enough, the Hut reveals a clever built-in hammock on the deck. This two-person hammock is an even better way to experience an immersive connection with the natural surroundings – taking in the stunning views while listening to the waves crashing nearby.

The same smooth indoor/outdoor connection defines the dining experience inside this custom tiny house. The Hut's huge deck houses a full dining setup for memorable al-fresco experiences, including a BBQ and a big dining table. Inside, the Red Rock features an adorable dining corner in the form of a breakfast bar near its compact kitchen. The breakfast bar with matching bar stools is one of the signature features of the Aussie-designed tiny homes, and you’ll see it in several of the Alphaline models.

At the same time, the tiny kitchen is fully equipped with everything from a full-size oven, a fridge, and a two-burner cooktop to a coffee maker and a toaster. Storage, on the other hand, is limited to a couple of cabinets under the countertop and a few tiny shelves in order to free up the space for a big window.

The bedroom is fully enclosed and private. It's not very big, but this only enhances the sense of privacy and coziness. Still, it's filled with natural light and fresh air thanks to the windows. This is the Red Rock's only bedroom, which makes it an ideal option for romantic couple getaways. Plus, the single-level layout makes it particularly comfortable and easily accessible for people of all ages and anyone who doesn't want the hassle of lofts and ladders.

As we've seen, the Red Rock offers tremendous versatility, given its inherent size limitations and the same goes for its spa-like amenities. The house itself includes a compact but stylish bathroom complete with a shower cabin, but it even extends this spa experience to the outdoors as well. Just a few feet away, guests will discover an unusual jacuzzi and sauna – they're made of cedar wood and boast a delightful rustic look. What could be better than relaxing in a wood-fired hot tub while gazing at the stars or taking in the panoramic views from inside the barrel-shaped sauna?

Building a tiny home like the Red Rock Hut also means taking into account the challenges of a natural environment, particularly the moody Tasmanian weather. In addition to a sturdy and durable structure, this tiny enables guests to personalize the temperature inside to their liking through a combination of a modern A/C system and a rustic-style fireplace in the lounge. To top things off, Starlink technology keeps them connected at all times while still enjoying the isolation and tranquility of this remote paradise to the fullest.

The Red Rock Hut successfully blends apparently contrasting features and experiences for an unforgettable glamping experience, and a lot of that is possible thanks to the unmatched versatility of tiny homes.
