New Wellness Cabin Coming

We’re excited to share a special update from the farm: a fourth Five Acres cabin is officially underway — and this one brings a beautiful new chapter to our little patch of Phillip Island.

Set to open late January 2026, the new cabin will introduce a deeper focus on wellness and slow living, while still honouring the handcrafted warmth and coastal calm that our guests know and love.

A Space for Restoration

This wellness-inspired cabin will offer a new kind of retreat here at Five Acres — a place designed for rest, ritual, and connection.

Some of the features we’re most excited about include:

  • A private built-in sauna, crafted from timber and glass
  • An invigorating outdoor cold shower for contrast therapy
  • Expansive deck for yoga and meditation

 

Each element has been thoughtfully considered to create a sanctuary where guests can unwind, breathe deeply, and reconnect with themselves and the natural surroundings.

An Evolving Experience

While Barley, Clover, and Rye will always offer the comfort and quiet luxury our guests return for, this new cabin adds another layer — a restorative, wellness-led experience designed for those seeking deeper stillness and presence.

It feels like the natural next step for Five Acres, and we’re so excited to bring it to life.

Follow Along

We’ll be sharing updates as the build progresses, and we can’t wait to introduce you to this new space in early 2026.

Thank you for being part of the Five Acres story — whether you’ve stayed with us before or simply followed along from afar.

Set on a working micro-farm on Phillip Island.
