Cleves Hut
Stay in a unique, bespoke hut along the Blackwood valley. Handmade using reclaimed materials to create the most enchanting space for you to enjoy, perfectly set in nature.
790 hectares of lush rolling hills from your balcony, the most picturesque scenery of the valley and river system. A place to unwind, relax and view the cattle grazing around you. Your very own little sanctuary.
We have created a sustainable space by sourcing recycled materials from the farm, while being 100% off grid. A place for people to enjoy without imposing heavily on the environment. Slow down and experience simple living in the country.
A bit of history
Our farm
The Dunnet family have run Tanjanerup farm for over 116 years, through 5 generations. Grass fed Beef is our specialty, you may see us driving through your paddock feeding the cows on the tractor or herding them into a new paddock. Who was Cleve?
Cleve first came to Tanjanerup farm to work after losing his wife and child in childbirth when he was 17. After his loss the family took him in like their own. He lived in a little hut on the property for the next 70 years. Never learning how to drive a car, Cleve saddled up his horse for the day as he did every day until his last. His horse Marcie was his best friend.
When my partner and I decided to return to our family farm we wanted to share this slice of paradise with others, creating something extra special by crafting and handmaking bespoke pieces in the hut.
Our Vision
We gathered recycled materials that we had found on the farm, timber from the fallen shearing shed, old cattle yard boards that were hand sawn 100 years ago or the rusted corrugated iron that had flown off the shed in a storm.
Every item is a piece of history on the farm.
A sustainable approach
Why buy new when you can recycle and appreciate the age and history of these raw materials. Wanting Cleves hut to look and feel like it was placed there 100 years ago with a few extra comfort additions to treat yourself to the sweet simplicity of country living.
