Little Haven Cottage 2 by Tiny Away
Summary: Looking for a peaceful getaway in a cozy tiny home? Little Haven Cottage 2 is a charming farm stay, just a stone’s throw from the main road. Once you drive down the tree-lined driveway, the hustle and bustle of the road fades away.
Lined with pine trees our kids call “personal Christmas trees,” the path winds its way to the sheds, where a small flock of sheep graze peacefully. These gentle helpers maintain the land—and add to the rural charm of your tiny house escape. #TinyHouseVictoria #CozyTinyHome
The Space: Little Haven Cottage 2 is located in the peaceful town of Balliang, just 17 minutes from the adventure-filled You Yangs Regional Park and only an hour from Melbourne. What's more, we have two tiny houses situated on opposite ends of the property, offering plenty of space to relax and spread out.
Enjoy a peaceful retreat with beautiful sunrises, sunsets, and visits from kangaroos, rabbits, and native birds. For more exploration, visit nearby spots like Werribee Gorge and Serendip Sanctuary Park.
This cozy 139-square-foot tiny home features easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette with 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Our property is best suited for older children, teenagers, and adults, as the tiny home is on farmland with livestock. Although snakes are rarely seen, they may occasionally be present.
