Cabn (SA, Vic)
These solar-powered, modern dwellings located
in South Australia and Victoria offer minimalist yet
inviting sleeping quarters. Opt for the bushland-
situated Jude Cabn in the Adelaide Hills, or the
Kuitpo, located in its own natural amphitheatre in
the McLaren Vale wine region. In Victoria, head to
the Sadie Cabn in the Daylesford, only 1.5 hours’
drive from Melbourne. Each Cabn is small in size
but carefully designed for maximum comfort.
