The Space:
Black Forest Hide Away by Tiny Away sits in a bushland pocket with no roads or neighbours in sight. Wake up to the sounds of native birds, the occasional visit from kangaroos by 3-quiet dams, and koalas lounging in tall gums as the sun rises over your private retreat.
While it feels a world away, the farm stay is just 50 minutes from Melbourne and minutes from Macedon, perfectly placed to explore Hanging Rock, Mount Macedon, Camel’s Hump, and the seasonal autumnal colours of Honour Avenue. Wander Forest Glade Gardens or stay in and soak up the magic all around you.
A cozy 139-square-foot tiny home with easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities.
