Bandari distinguishes itself as EYRE.WAY’s most intimately ocean-connected retreat yet.

Meticulously designed with an aesthetic that gracefully integrates earthy tones, natural timber textures, and elegant terracotta accents, Bandari epitomizes minimalist sophistication, encouraging guests to disconnect from bustling daily routines and reconnect deeply with the natural environment.
This newest luxury addition follows the remarkable success of EYRE.WAY’s earlier creations, Maldhi and Yambara, are renowned for their consistently high occupancy rates year-round. Bandari significantly enhances EYRE.WAY’s portfolio solidifies its reputation as a premier provider of luxurious, sustainable escapes on the Eyre Peninsula.
Amanda Hogg, co-founder of EYRE.WAY clearly expressed the venture’s core vision: “Our mission has always centered around crafting unique, secluded experiences where guests can fully embrace the stunning beauty of the Eyre Peninsula. Bandari embodies this perfectly, offering an unmatched eco-luxurious escape within an incredibly inspiring natural setting.”
Sustainability is deeply embedded in Bandari’s foundation, reflecting a commitment to environmentally conscious hospitality. Entirely powered by an advanced solar battery system, Bandari exemplifies green innovation, effortlessly balancing sustainability with comfort.

This thoughtful attention to detail guarantees a restful, indulgent retreat for discerning travellers.
EYRE.WAY collaborated closely with esteemed local architect Duncan Moore, blending local expertise with visionary design. Tim Hogg, EYRE.WAY’s co-founder took hands-on responsibility for much of the construction, passionately involving local tradespeople to bolster the regional economy.
“We take immense pride in supporting local talent and contributing positively to our region’s vibrant tourism sector,” remarked Tim Hogg. “Everything we do at EYRE.WAY—from conception and construction to hosting guests—is driven by sustainability and community values.”
The burgeoning popularity of tiny homestays mirrors Australia’s broader national trend towards sustainable tourism. Demand for tiny home rentals has soared dramatically, with a notable increase of 127% over just two years. A recent report, Tiny Homes Market Trends 2023, predicts the Australian tiny home market will reach an impressive AUD $39.5 million by 2028, underscoring a significant shift towards eco-friendly, cost-effective, and intimate travel experiences.
Amanda Hogg emphasized the powerful consumer trend towards responsible tourism, noting, “The passion for sustainable travel is at an all-time high. Australians increasingly seek unique experiences that enable them to relax, recharge, and reconnect deeply with nature—without compromising comfort. We’re excited to welcome more visitors to Bandari, offering an extraordinary way to explore the incredible Eyre Peninsula.”
EYRE.WAY’s journey began organically in 2014 when Amanda and Tim first listed their Port Lincoln home on Airbnb. Embracing their passion for off-grid living, they transitioned to living and working from ‘Frankie’ the Caravan, traversing remote corners of the Eyre Peninsula. Their deep love for nature and sustainable living naturally evolved into EYRE.WAY’s collection of luxury tiny homes.
Bandari’s unveiling marks another significant milestone for the brand, which promises a final luxurious tiny home addition set to launch within the following year. Luxury stays at EYRE.WAY’s tiny homes begin at $550 per night, with curated wellness and welcome packages available to elevate the guest experience.
