It may look like a regular (albeit stylish) vacation home, but this two-bedroom architecturally designed house has a host of sustainable features too. Greens Beach Solar Home is a completely self-sufficient house that harnesses the sun to power its electricity, waste and water.

Only a short stroll from Greens Beach, Tasmania, and nearby Narawntapu National Park, a nine-hole golf course and tennis courts, the setting forms an idyllic backdrop to a relaxed, off-the-grid getaway. And, better yet, guests are conveniently close to world-class wineries, too.

Inside the home is a fully equipped kitchen (complete with coffee machine) and contemporary entertainment features, including 200 films, 100 books and fast wireless internet. Outside, guests can feast their eyes on stunning green views from the property’s verandah – and watch wallabies hop across the land.
