Please note: we are typically booked out many months in advance and the Airbnb calendar only takes bookings up to 6 months in advance.
COVID-19 UPDATE
We will stay open until the Australian Government says that tourist accommodation must close.
We are good cleaners (hence Super Host status on AirBnB) and are using tea-tree oil disinfectant.
The Earthship is only booked on weekends so we are not cycling lots of people through it.
If you need to cancel your booking, you can - you only lose the AirBnB service fee - cleaning fee and nightly fee are fully refunded. (NOTE: this is the "flexible" option in the AirBnB cancellations options if you want to read up on it)
COME AND STAY FOR THE WEEKEND AND LEAVE ALL YOUR COVID-19 CARES BEHIND!

More Info
Earthship Ironbank is a great place to relax with your favorite person. Close to the city (30min drive up the freeway) it is nestled on a north facing hillside looking into a tree lined valley and vineyard.
There is plenty to do... enjoy the local winery, Deviation Road, which is just a 5min drive away, or the pubs and restaurants in Stirling or Crafers which are a 10min drive. The closest pub is the Duck Inn (and drive through) just 7min drive away. There is a golf course walking distance away and bushwalking in the Sir Mark Oliphant Nature Reserve (3min drive). If you want to eat-in the kitchen is equipped with a gas cooktop, microwave, wood oven (not recommended in summer), under-bench bar fridge, pots and pans etc.
The "Ship" has no TV but instead it has board games, a cozy fireplace and a giant bath tub designed for two!! However it has wifi so feel free to bring a laptop or tablet and enjoy some online entertainment.
It is an off-grid building, self-sufficient in electricity, water and sewage treatment, designed to fulfill all your needs with close to zero ecological impact on the planet, but you do need to understand the limitations... for example, if you use all the hot water you will need to wait for the sun or the wood fire to heat up more hot water.
We're sure you'll enjoy it!
Please note that Earthship Ironbank is often booked out months in advance and bookings can only be made 6 months in advance.
All bookings and enquiries through Airbnb please.

Gift Vouchers for the BnB Unavailable
Unfortunately AirBnB don't have a suitable gift voucher system operating in Australia at this stage.
We tried doing our own gift voucher system but it became difficult to manage - sorry we are not providing this service anymore.
Of course we will honour the gift certificates that are yet to be claimed/redeemed.
