The Wobbly Hobbit- a unique earthen cabin in the woods.

The Wobbly Hobbit is a unique example of a sustainable construction method using clay, straw and sand that has been hand sculpted to build this gem in the forest. An accessible living roof is a great place to spot the deer that meander through the forest. The studio has a functional kitchen, double bed and seating for the streaming TV service and is steps away from the detached bath house that houses a sink, composting toilet and a wine barrel shower. Have a hot tub after a full day of taking in the sights of the beautiful Cowichan Valley. Golf, beaches, wineries, totem tours, hiking trails, mountain biking, superb dining and numerous other activities await. Victoria is a 45 minute drive and is accessible with daily bus service.

Second time at the Wobbly Hobbit. So homey and funky. The perfect place for a quiet get-away. I will return, I'm sure.

Beautiful space, very unique place, it feels like you're sleeping in the forest but in the comfort of the studio. Lots of windows and beautiful space to sit and enjoy the outside as well. Was a wonderful get away with my 6 year old daughter to connect and get out of the city. Thank you

Wobbly Hobbit delivers

Such an adorable place. And the unique building style kept us cool on hot days. The host was friendly and attentive but not intrusive. A tiny home takes a bit more work because there's not a lot of room to spread things out but everything we needed was there. The composting toilet is awesome but a bit awkward for anyone with mobility issues. I plan to return here very soon.
