The View From Here: Cntnr 1.0, Tasmania

The mood is eclectic but sexy at Cntnr 1.0 (pronounced “container”). The matte-black, 40-foot shipping-container-turned-cabin-in-the-woods offers floor-to-ceiling windows that take in the gum-laden surrounds of the Scamander River.

A custom-made raised red-carpeted bed references ’70s conversation pits and takes prime position in a window-wrapped corner. There’s a fireplace for cosy days and nights. The galley kitchen (which is equipped with fresh coffee and an Alessi coffee maker, among other essentials) features a breakfast bar with orange stools. And the bathroom offers a generous walk-in shower.

The outside is just as enticing as the inside at this stay. You’ll find a sunken pink bathtub on the paved patio. Mid-century armchairs overlook the firepit, which has plenty of wood and kindling. And there’s a deck with two sun loungers closer to the river.

If there’s no availability on your chosen dates, Cntnr 2.0 is located on the same property with its own personality and quirks.
