Colonial Blue
Colonial Blue is a 5.5 metre tiny house on wheels with a separate, luxurious bathhouse. Located in the countryside, with views out across the landscape towards the central north coast of Tasmania, the tiny house has been designed and styled as an artist retreat, or a space to disconnect and reconnect with ourselves.

The experience includes an indoor bathtub, double shower and vanity, queen bed, lounge, kitchen and table and chairs. Guests have access to free WIFI, yoga mats, books, easel and sketching material among other amenities. Visitors can also enjoy the artwork on display within the room, produced by the owner’s Kylie, Tamika and other local artists.
