A place in the forest that remembers you after you've gone.

TELL ME MORE

Tucked into the Tasmanian wilderness,

HIBIKI HAUS is a handcrafted retreat for those who need the trees more than they know. Come and find out what the quiet has been trying to tell you.

A forest path with wooden steps surrounded by trees with autumn-colored leaves.

OUR WHY

To help you feel fully human again, with your feet in moss, breath in your belly, and your thoughts slowed to the sound of birds and wind through trees.

Indoor seating area with a curtain of pillows in front of a large window showing foggy trees outside, and a large round paper lantern hanging from the ceiling.

OUR HOW

We’ve created space to pause, reflect, and ground. Built from and into the land just 20 mins from a thriving country town, yet a peaceful world away. Fewer things, more meaning. Journaling, tea, fire, forest bathing, moonlight soak - doctor’s orders.

An open book with a black-and-white photograph on one page, resting on a wooden table, with a yellow cup of frothy coffee nearby, and a textured woven rug in the background.

WHO IT’S FOR

HIBIKI HAUS is for those seeking stillness and inner clarity, reconnection with self through nature and looking for inspiration, through ritual, and beauty

My Journey to H I B I K I H A U S…

hibiki — is the Japanese word for resonance. For the way sound lingers in a space after its source has gone. A bell struck once, still ringing.

It felt like the right name for a place like this. Where the seasons are keenly felt and time slows.

I spent my twenties in Japan, navigating Osaka with instinct, learning to sit in bamboo forests and let the silence teach me. I spent the years after that chasing something I couldn't name across film sets and cities and other people's ideas of success.

Three years ago I came back to Australia and found this forest, and something in me stopped running.

HIBIKI HAUS with its acres of zen gardens is a response to that. A one bedroom haven. Paths for meandering and contemplating. A kitchen for slow cooking. Stone walls and sheepskin, a hot tub you never want to get out of. A handmade space for handmade days - unhurried, unscheduled, unremarkable in the best possible way.

I hope it does for you what the forest did for me.
