EYRE.WAY unveils Bandari, a luxurious off-grid escape on the Eyre Peninsula

EYRE.WAY has launched Bandari, its third luxurious off-grid tiny abode, offering an exclusive and eco-conscious retreat on South Australia’s stunning Eyre Peninsula.

Nestled atop coastal cliffs in a private pocket of Sleaford Bay, Bandari is EYRE.WAY’s closest tiny home to the water, boasting breathtaking ocean views and surrounded by pristine native vegetation. 

EYRE.WAY collaborated with local architect Duncan Moore to design Bandari, with co-founder Tim Hogg managing much of the build himself.

Designed with warm, earthy tones, timber features, and terracotta accents, Bandari blends minimalist luxury with sustainability, allowing guests to disconnect from daily life and reconnect with nature.

Following the success of Maldhi and Yambara, which maintain consistently high occupancy rates year-round, Bandari marks another milestone in EYRE.WAY’s mission to provide environmentally sustainable, private, and luxurious accommodation in some of the Eyre Peninsula’s most spectacular locations.

“Our goal has always been to create unique, secluded stays that allow guests to truly immerse themselves in the beauty of the Eyre Peninsula,” says EYRE.WAY Co-Founder Amanda Hogg. 

“With Bandari, we’re offering an unparalleled off-grid experience that combines eco-conscious design with breathtaking natural surroundings.”

Built with sustainability at its core, Bandari is powered entirely by a solar-battery system, providing modern comforts including reverse-cycle air conditioning, instant gas hot water, and high-speed WiFi, while maintaining a minimal environmental footprint. 

The tiny abode sleeps two and features a well-appointed kitchen, a stylish lounge that converts into a double bed, and premium bedding from Bed Threads and I Love Linen.

“We’re incredibly proud to work with local talent and contribute to the region’s tourism economy,” says Tim Hogg. 

“Every aspect of EYRE.WAY has been designed with sustainability and community in mind, from the way we build to the way we host.”

The rise of tiny home stays reflects a broader trend in Australian travel, with demand for tiny house rentals increasing by 127% over the past two years. 

According to the Tiny Homes Market Trends 2023 Growth: 2030 Report, the tiny home sector is projected to reach $39.5 million AUD by 2028, driven by a growing interest in cost-effective and environmentally friendly accommodations.

“The appetite for sustainable travel has never been stronger,” says Amanda Hogg. 

“More Australians are seeking out stays that allow them to escape, recharge, and experience nature without sacrificing comfort, and we can't wait to welcome more people to stay in our tiny homes and immerse themselves in all the beauty of the Eyre Peninsula.”
