Think of it as a small home in the woods, less of a cabin in the frontier sense. The toilet is composting using a triple venting system to fully remove smell and eliminate the need for time-consuming annual clean-outs.
There's no septic field (or need for one) and as stated in the posts above my place has large volumes of water and fairly high rain (~900mm ann.) so water tanks above the house will provide all the water, and pressure needed at no extra cost. Because the toilet is composting it needs no flush-water and this saves huge amounts of water a day.
Excluding showering I use ~10L water daily for my needs, but once my two 42,000L tanks are installed water won't be much of an issue.
Water is also highly critical in fire-prevention/fighting.

The bathroom could be arranged in several ways, all the bits are in there just to provide a sense of scale.
