Saddle Country Escape by Tiny Away

Summary:
Spend your weekend getaways here at Saddle Country Escape by Tiny Away! The farm stay is nestled on 214 acres of land surrounded by rolling green hills, wide open fields, and horses to keep you company. Enjoy the best country experience in Tyaak, where travelers can enjoy galloping or a leisure walk at Mount Disappointment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There may be other residences on the property that guests will rent out. #TinyHouseVictoria #HolidayHomes

The Space:
Saddle Country Escape by Tiny Away is located in Tyaak, close to Stevenson Falls, Kinglake National Park, and a short drive from nearby towns of Broadford and Seymour. This 157-square-foot off-grid tiny home features a well-equipped kitchenette with cooking tools, cutlery, a pot-bellied stove, and a portable electric cooler fridge.

A queen-sized bed is located in the loft, while a comfortable couch sits on the ground floor, along with an excellent bathroom. The bathroom features an eco-friendly compost toilet, a hand basin, and a gas-heated shower—making this tiny home a perfect choice for a relaxing holiday escape.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Our farm stay runs on solar energy, so we kindly ask guests to conserve power during the day. You may also encounter other guests on the property, including those staying in the nearby barn loft, and there may be occasional noise from nearby animals.

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the tiny home and the surrounding areas, except the land host's private residence and barn.

Preorders available with 24 hrs notice:

- A swimming pool is available; certain policies may apply.
- Guests may bring a horse for an additional fee of $20 per night, plus a daily insurance fee.

The Neighborhood:
Saddle Country Escape by Tiny Away sits near a small town in Broadford, where gold was discovered by an old mining town in 1852. Unlike many gold mining towns that died, this one has survived as a historical attraction in the region.
Today, there are still a few well-kept historic buildings in the area, and nearby attractions like Mount Disappointment make for a great day of walking and exploring.

Visitors can also enjoy the stunning views at Stevenson Falls, take in the scenery at Snobs Creek Falls, go hiking or picnicking in Kinglake National Park, ride the train through the hills with Kerrisdale Mountain Railway, or head to Tallarook State Forest for off-roading, camping, and bushwalks.
