Wallaby Retreat - Tiny House in the Forest near Daylesford

Experience the simplicity of tiny house living in our thoughtfully converted shipping container, tucked away on the edge of Wombat Forest just 10 minutes from Daylesford. Nestled amidst lush eucalyptus forest, Wallaby Retreat is perfect for romantic getaways and nature enthusiasts who love a rustic, down to earth experience.

The container conversion has been designed to create a spacious feel in a small space. Local artisans have lovingly repurposed reclaimed materials to create a warm and inviting interior. Relax and unwind on your private deck, where you can soak in the sights and sounds of the surrounding forest.

A brand new bathroom boasts a sustainable composting toilet that's odourless and eco-conscious. The full kitchen is equipped with a medium-sized fridge, induction cooktop, and combination convection oven/microwave, ensuring you have everything you need to prepare meals. Coffee, sugar, teas (black, green & herbal) and a French press are provided. A split system ensures your ideal temperature no matter the weather.

We also provide a picnic basket and cosy blanket, for you to fill with incredible regional produce and savour amidst the stunning natural surroundings.

Wombat Forest state park is only a 3 minute drive away from the tiny house, and it has endless trails to explore. Please message us if you need a digital file of the bushwalking map of the area for your stay.

The tiny house has a shared driveway and the hosts live in the main house 200m away, but the hosts will leave you to enjoy your space unless you need anything at all. We are always happy to chat if you want recommendations.

Please note that while there is no wifi and mobile reception is patchy at best, it's an opportunity to fully disconnect and immerse yourself in nature. We have a selection of books and games available to keep you entertained. Additionally, the tiny house is not wheelchair accessible, and we regret that we cannot accommodate infants, children, or pets.
