Lumera Eco Lodge & Chalets

Three off-grid solar chalets on a private nature reserve at 600 metres above the East Coast, 35km north of Bicheno. Timber-lined, pot-belly-stove-warm, queen bed, full kitchen, ocean views from Falmouth to Flinders Island. The owners are wildlife carers — wallabies and wombats are usually somewhere on the property. Twelve-volt power only. They'll tell you upfront: no hairdryers.
