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.

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.
