The Teachers House: Historic Charm, Off-Grid Luxury & Unforgettable Comfort

Step into history at The Teachers House, one of just six original, lovingly restored timber worker homes in the historic Old Saw Mill Town of Brooman. Once home to the area's last teacher, this unique property offers a serene escape where heritage meets unparalleled comfort.

Sustainable & Serene Living

Every detail celebrates its past and present. The house is crafted entirely from local timber, showcasing original floorboards, weatherboards, and beautiful Coachwood architraves. We've used only original, recycled, or locally sourced native timber, creating an authentic and warm ambiance.

Embrace sustainable living: The Teachers House is completely off-grid, powered by a central solar system. Enjoy pristine rainwater collected in charming galvanised iron tanks, and a gas water heater provides instant hot water for your comfort.

Indulge in Unique Comforts

Imagine waking up to the warm, crackling sounds of a cozy fireplace, its gentle light dancing across your spacious bedroom. From the comfort of your luxurious king-size bed, you can simply lie back and watch the flickering flames – a truly tranquil way to begin or end your day.

But for the ultimate relaxation, discover our truly unique feature: a luxurious deep-soaking bathtub perfectly positioned in the lounge room. Picture yourself sinking into the warm water, unwinding completely, all while enjoying the mesmerising glow and crackle of the fireplace just steps away. It's an experience designed for pure indulgence and serenity.

Step onto the front balcony to let the evening sun wash over you as you decompress. The spacious kitchen is ready for your culinary adventures, and the combined living and dining area is perfect for shared meals and conversations. A refreshing shower in the well-appointed bathroom offers another opportunity to rejuvenate.

Explore the Pristine Clyde River & Abundant Wildlife

Our location, directly opposite a magnificent bend in theClyde River, is ideal for nature lovers. The deep waters are perfect for canoeing, fishing for Bass, or quietly observing Platypus. Bird enthusiasts will be captivated by the dozens of unique and beautiful endemic species. As dusk settles, keep an eye out for our resident mob of Eastern Grey Kangaroos, along with darting Red Neck Wallabies, Bandicoots, micro bats, blue tongues, and Possums.
