About this property

The Whistling Frog by Tiny Away

Summary:
Enjoy a tranquil nature escape at Whistling Frog by Tiny Away! Located just 400 meters from Neerim South, the ideal tiny house Victoria getaway surrounded by abundant woodlands, native wildlife, and soothing soundscapes of nature. One of the best tiny house rentals in the town of Neerim South through entry from Neerim Bower!

The Space:
The Whistling Frog by Tiny Away sits in the picturesque town of Neerim South, West Gippsland, located in the Shire of Baw Baw, 109 km east of Melbourne and 19 km north of Warragul. Nestled down next to the dam, with glimpses of the mountains to the west and a 270-degree forest enclosing the tiny house. Close to Mt Baw Baw and Toorongo Falls, an hour east of Melbourne, and 20 minutes north of Warragul.

A cozy 113-square-foot tiny home with spectacular sunset views, abundant wildlife, and soothing soundscapes that make you feel at home in nature. It has easy access to water, split-air conditioning, a kitchenette with cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities, including a waterless cassette toilet with a removable waste-holding tank, hand basin, and shower (gas-heated for hot showers).

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

Great, quiet little getaway
I booked this for two nights and was a great experience for me, my partner and small dog. Location was just past the main street of town so if you needed anything it was close by. The accommodation itself was further back on the property, but it still felt like you had the place to yourself. All essential amenities were provided and the place was very clean. The owners have done good work in the landscaping out the front of the place and was perfect for morning sun as well as evenings by the fire. Thanks for a great stay
