Country, coast or city, there’s a Melwood for every backyard
Sometimes your backyard is the great Australian countryside. And when it comes to our Melwood range of garden rooms, there are no rules! So, if you’ve ever dreamed of a peaceful weekender nestled among gum trees or a stylish studio overlooking rolling hills, there’s a Melwood for you!
We’ve curated five inspiring case studies that showcase the versatility of Melwood garden rooms, not in suburbia, but in rural Australia. From mountain tops to sprawling plains, a Melwood is equally at home in the beautiful bush as it is in a city setting.
But, if you want to put one of these in your urban garden, we’re fine with that too!
1. The Verandah: Overflow accommodation for guests and a peaceful writing retreat for its owner
In the Southern Highlands of NSW, the pace is relaxed and the rhythm of life unhurried.
Imagine, then, a retreat that encourages you to pause, reflect and unwind further; a sanctuary that fosters a deep connection with nature and allows for moments of quiet contemplation.
Welcome to Magnolia Cottage.
2. The eSpace: A self-sustainable weekender for off-grid escapes into the bush
Deep, deep, deep in the heart of the Hunter region overlooking the Yengo National Park, luxurious living meets total off-grid serenity.
The very definition of indoor-outdoor living, weekend escapes to this eSpace involve nothing but nature.
3. The Porch: Catching some peace in this lakehouse is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel
Could there be anything more peaceful than kicking off your boots and fishing straight off your porch deck? Perhaps a relaxing read and a cup of hot chocolate in front of the fire?
Whatever your idyll, this hidden lakeside sanctuary in the wild and wonderful Southern Tablelands, surrounded by rolling hills and lush countryside, is the epitome of peace and quiet.
4. The Verandah: A bridal party studio dedicated to the cherished ritual of pre-wedding prep
This time we head to the south coast of NSW, and an award-winning wedding venue where cherished memories are made.
And what premier wedding venue is complete without a Melwood Verandah, dedicated to elevating the bridal experience to new heights?
‘Rose Cottage’ is not just a Melwood Verandah, but a luxurious hair and make-up studio where every bride leaves feeling like a princess.
5. The Mod: First a home for its truffle farm owners, now overspill accommodation for family and friends
When Anna and Andy purchased 117 acres in the Southern Highlands they had a vision of weekends spent establishing a hobby truffle farm.
But when they upgraded their glamping set up to a Melwood Mod they were inspired to trade corporate Sydney life for full-time farming. And with some of the most breathtaking views we’ve seen, who can blame them!
As you can see, a Melwood garden room is not just for built-up backyards.
From lakeside retreats to mountain-top studios and sprawling farm sanctuaries, our versatile designs adapt seamlessly to Australia’s diverse landscapes. Whether you’re seeking a weekend escape, a home office with a view, or a full-time residence that brings you closer to nature, there’s a Melwood solution that fits your rural dream.
Our garden rooms offer the perfect blend of comfort, style, and functionality, allowing you to make the most of your slice of the great Australian outdoors, whether it’s 600m2 or 600 acres!
Let your imagination roam as free as the countryside, and discover how a Melwood can transform your rural property – or your inner city backyard – into something truly extraordinary.
City or country, there’s a Melwood that suits.
