Acre Away by Tiny Away

Summary:
When the hustle and bustle of metropolitan life gets too much for you, sometimes all you need is a few Acre Away. The ideal tiny house Victoria retreat overlooking the frog-filled dam and horse arena set in rolling bush-lined paddocks. In the morning, wake up to magnificent sunrises and sight of our occasional kangaroos hopping by.

Perfect for a staycation or attending a nearby celebration!

The Space:
Acre Away is located in the tranquil town of Kangaroo Ground, 47 minutes drive away from Melbourne and an hour's drive from Yarra Ranges National Park. Panton Hill Pub, Montasalvat - Artists' Colony, Fondata - Italian Restaurant, and beautiful parks such as Banksia Park, and Ruffey Lake Park are nearby.

The ideal tiny house stands free-standing on the high ground of a 20-acre equine property surrounded by horses, ponies, and wildlife that passes by occasionally to keep you company.

A comfortable 139-square-foot tiny home with easy water access, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities. These amenities include an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste holding tank, hand basin, and gas-heated shower.

If you plan to spend your tiny house Victoria retreats here, we advise that you bring your basic necessities, such as food and water during your stay with us. Thank you.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Just a gentle heads-up, you might occasionally hear the hum of chainsaws, the rumble of tractors shifting hay, or the occasional buzz of neighbors on motorbikes.
