We live in the Perth hills and wanted to create a relaxing outdoor ‘Soak Sanctuary’ which would be private; blend in with the landscape; and create a resourceful, rustic, peaceful ambience, in-keeping with the dense bush surrounding of our property……a place to truly unwind and recharge our batteries. Starting from scratch, we cleared the ground; sourced old doors, cupboards, windows, pallets, rusty bits and pieces, and natural bush-logs. All features and structures were constructed using Bunnings hardware materials, nuts/bolts/screws, paints, power tools, plumbing, metal screen, plants, brackets, timber, and solar fairy lights for night time bathing...so romantic!
