Serene valley views, outdoor bath and indoor fireplace: wake to birdsong, bathe under the stars ✨🛀🍃

Before it was Zendigo Tiny Retreat, the tiny cabin that started it all had another life…

A chance conversation between two amazing women, Zoe and Sarah, at Kerri Greens Winery in Red Hill, led first to a friendship. Then, while Sarah was designing and building the original tiny cabin (with her very own hands) Zoe offered to share a piece of her family's land, in the spirit of the overall future vision for this special property - to become home to unique spaces and places for people to stay.

Sarah heralds from Bordeaux, France and has been living in Australia since 2014. She has a unique design aesthetic, deep love of cooking, food and wine, and cherishes beautiful things when she sees them - starting her own company, Fall Design, while studying a Bachelor of Interior Design to continue her creative journey.

Sarah’s own building and making skills have been developing since first starting to build the original tiny in 2021, with close to no building or design experience. Over several years she gained additional knowledge working in carpentry for Darling Builders and cabin building and design experts Base Cabin. In 2024, she finally felt she knew enough to make this cabin just perfect for you to stay. A design for a short term accommodation experience is quite different in nature than a design for full time living, so a unique balance and re-design was required.

The Zendigo tiny is Sarah’s home; made with love, and lived in. A very personal design, where the handcrafted central island is the heart of the cabin. A cabin for a cook, a wine lover, a cabin where you feel so cosy inside, looking out to the view of the valley with a glass of delicious wine in hand, shaking some pans to sauté your onions and garlic, making a gorgeous meal from all the amazing produce the Mornington Peninsula has to offer. Her generosity in sharing this space is to be treasured.

The tiny is located in the top paddock of a working farm, near the farm gate to the quiet country road, providing you easy walking distance access to your car. Please note, it is not isolated in the bush in the middle of nowhere, yet you will feel in your own little oasis once you arrive.

Zendigo Tiny Retreat is managed sustainably, and is respectful and nurturing of country. Giving back to nature - giving and not just taking, is paramount - it’s why we are off-grid and trying to leave as light a footprint as we can on the beautiful nature we are surrounded by and that our guests enjoy.

Respect for the history of the First Nations people’s land we are on, and the wisdom of Elders past, present and emerging are part of our education and deep listening, and continue to inform our decision making in all ongoing work we undertake.

We hope Zendigo Tiny Retreat is enjoyed deeply by you, our very special guests, as much as we have deeply enjoyed creating it.

Let the story for us all continue…
