Disappointing
The photos don’t show you how close the tiny house is to the main house. We were kept awake for a lot of the night by the residents of the main house who were talking in the yard. The house wobbles excessively as it’s on a trailer.

This was one of our best stays everxx if felt as if we woke up in the middle of paradise. It was a very peaceful stay all we could hear was the sound of birds. We loved it. The tiny house was super cosy but had everything we needed. We will definitely come back. ❤️❤️

Great Little Getaway
Tranquil, cozy tiny home with everything you need to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. Great location with Canberra being a 20 minute drive away if you want to explore the city. Absolutely loved that it was dog friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice tiny house
The house was clean and cosy. There is a provision of very basic kitchen utensils. It would have been nice to have arrived (in the dark) to a clean BBQ and a fire pit which included kindling, paper and/or firelighters. Thankfully, my partner is an experienced finery andi was able to get it going. Nice location but very close to main house so wouldn't recommend if Ur looking for seclusion and/or privacy. But overall, a lovely tiny house ànd great communication with host.

Too many stairs & information provided beforehand did not state there was over 100 steps down to the property. Quite confronting & more so to go back up.

Loved the experience of staying in this tiny house on the edge of the bush. A much better choice than a hotel room in Canberra!

The actual Tiny House was great. The area surrounding the house felt unsafe as the deck was not stable. There were weeds & long grass surrounding the property & close to the fire pit.
