Lara Grove Cottage by Tiny Away
Summary:
Welcome to Lara Grove Cottage! The ideal tiny house Victoria retreat + country escape surrounded by a small mixed farming and horticulture operation. A cozy farm stay with all the modern amenities of home, with Highland cattle, dairy cows, and old breed pigs to keep you company. What's more, we have a large orchard, a vegetable garden, a honey bee farm, and we even make cheese and butter from our dairy cows.
All in all, a quiet retreat with views of Highland Cattle~
The Space:
Lara Grove Cottage is located in Purdeet, just an hour's drive from Ballarat and 49 minutes away from Warrnambool. A coastal city located along the Great Ocean Road, known for its art, stunning parks, recreational activities, and arrival of Southern Right Whales for calving in winter.
Hopkins Falls and the coastal town of Port Fairy are popular attractions in the area. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful beach, visit the Port Fairy Lighthouse, and explore Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve.
It's a 139-square-foot tiny home situated in a paddock where you can wake up to a stunning sunrise from your bedroom window and enjoy a view of our Highland Cattle grazing about. Easy access to water, 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 necessities, such as food and water during your stay with us. Thank you.
