The Space:

This sits on a 6-acre private retreat beside Toolangi State Forest in the Yarra Valley, offering a unique blend of off-grid living and hotel-style comfort. As the closest Healesville accommodation near Yarra Valley, it places you just 20 minutes from both Healesville and Yarra Glen. Enjoy the tranquility of a forest retreat while staying close to the region’s wineries, walking trails, wildlife encounters, and local food experiences.



The home is single-level tiny house, making it easy and comfortable for all guests. A queen bed with forest views sits on the ground floor with no ladders or lofts, framed by large picture windows that bring the outdoors in. The layout is spacious, minimalist, and calming.



Enjoy a fully equipped kitchenette, indoor bathroom with eco-friendly flush toilet and hot shower, a dining nook, heating and cooling via split system air conditioning, and natural spring water straight from the tap.



Outside, relax on the private deck, fire up the 4-burner BBQ, or (seasonally) enjoy the fire pit under a star-filled sky. Native wildlife and birds are daily visitors, and the serenity is unmatched.



This is a space made for peaceful escapes, romantic retreats, and deep nature immersion.
