2 people
No pets
Perched high above the Yarra Valley, wake to birdsong and mist drifting through the valley below. Nestled amongst lush greenery and overlooking breathtaking views, this secluded tiny house offers couples the perfect blend of privacy, tranquillity and connection with nature.

Inside, you'll find a cosy and thoughtfully equipped retreat with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Step outside onto the spacious slate patio and immerse yourself in the beauty of the surrounding landscape.

Spend the day exploring some of the Yarra Valley's best wineries, restaurants and natural attractions, all just a short drive away, before returning to your own private hillside sanctuary. As the sun sets, light the fire pit, cook a wood-fired pizza, soak in the outdoor bath and watch the stars emerge above the mountains.

Wander the adjoining conservation reserve or follow tracks down to the Yarra River where native wildlife and tranquil bushland complete the sense of escape.
With exclusive access to the tiny house, outdoor bath, fire pit, barbecue and wood-fired pizza oven, you'll have everything you need to create your own perfect escape to paradise.

Growing up on a dairy farm in Sth Gippsland meant my upbringing was infused with a passion for nature and the freedom of being outdoors in wide open spaces. This passion crossed paths with my love of wine when in 1997 one balmy night January night lying under the stars in a secluded part of Healesville I knew that this was where I belonged. I eventually bought this property in 1998 and established a vineyard here while gradually moving out of city work and life. It is in my time here that I have appreciated what the Aboriginal people mean by having a spiritual connection with their land - the beauty of this place inspires me everyday and it gives me great pleasure sharing it with all of our guests.

With some of the best views of the Yarra Valley at your doorstep the incredible outdoor bath at this stay provides an early morning bath experience like no other. Listening to the local bird call you'll watch the mist rise in the valley and the sun peek above the surrounding mountain ranges. A sunrise setting absolutely worth getting up for!

Meet The Locals

In the heart of the Yarra Valley, Gruyere, is a land of rolling green hills, wineries, farms and friendly animal folk! On your drive in the area you are bound to find a beautiful myriad of furry friends to watch and maybe sneak a pat or two.

Feeding Alpacas At The Big Bouquet

It was amazing seeing these cute, fluffy animals so close up and being able to feed them. We got super lucky as they are currently pregnant and usually do not come up to the fence at this time. The place is actually a huge flower farm (hence the name), and they have alpacas and a cafe where you can buy food for yourself and also the alpacas!
