Additional Information

TINY HOUSE DETAILS
Our tiny house features one queen bed, kitchenette, a bathroom with composting toilet, shower, gas heating and air-conditioning. Sunset picnic and wine & cheese hampers are available on request.

GUEST ACCESS
Hounds Run is an operating vineyard and farm, as such guests may witness various activities related to operating the property. The property is secured and access to the property is via a gravel road.

PLEASE NOTE
The kitchen consists of a gas stove with two burners, stove top kettle, toaster, dishwasher and fridge. In the kitchen you'll find the basics salt, pepper, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, butter and Five Ducks Farm jams. We also provide a loaf of locally baked bread from the Great Western Granary, milk, tea, coffee, sugar, napkins, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and towels. Plates, cooking utensils and cutlery are also provided. Please note there isn't an oven or microwave for cooking so please be mindful of this before stocking up for your stay. There is a gas BBQ outside which is available for use.

Our Tiny House is completely off-grid, meaning it runs purely on solar power with the comfort of a gas heater for the winter months. It is very well insulated with double glazed windows and will retain the heat/cool air for long periods of time. Please be sure to turn all lights, ceiling fan, heater and air conditioner OFF before leaving the Tiny House (even for a day trip). The reverse cycle system is turned off at the mains over the winter months when the gas heating is being used. Please me mindful of your electricity consumption, running all the appliances at once drains the power very quickly. In the summer months, please do not run the air conditioner overnight, it should be turned off before the sun goes down or you may find the fridge and water pump will not operate in the morning. If this is the case, we will supply a back-up generator, this service will be charged at $100.

Towards the end of our growing season (Feb-Apr) the vineyard is at the mercy of cockatoos. They don't eat our ripening grapes but instead cut them off the vines and drop them on the ground causing substantial damage and loss of fruit. During this time we have bird scarers set up in the vineyard to keep them at bay. These operate on a timer and shoot a pop of gas off periodically throughout the day....

Experience Tiny Living in our off grid Tiny House situated at the top of our vineyard at Hounds Run with spectacular 360 degree views of the Grampians, Black Range and Sugarloaf Hill. Lucy and Hadyn purchased the property 3 years ago with the established, but neglected, vineyard Hadyn is a winemaker for his label Black & Ginger Wines and Lucy a cellar door and wine club manager for a local winery. They love that they are able to share the beauty of Hounds Run with their guests. Lucy Born and raised in Melbourne but with weekly trips to a country property at Cape Liptrap in South Gippsland, I fostered a love of regional Victoria. Having graduated from RMIT with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Photography a then achieved a diploma of Graphic Design and Advertising. After university I decided it was time to explore the world, travelling across Asia and Europe for several years working in finance and advertising. Upon my return to Australia I took up the helm of the family business importing art and antiques from Japan and China. It was LOVE that brought me to Great Western when I met and fell in love with Hadyn Black, a former cellar hand at Best's Wines. Together we purchased a small vineyard in Great Western where we raise our fur babies Hunter, an Irish Wolfhound and Paddy, a greyhound x. Hadyn Born and raised on a farm in Coleraine in Western Victoria proving the apple doesn't fall from the tree. After travelling around Australia on a family camping holiday the Black family decided to move to Perth. Hadyn spent his formative in Western Australia but moved back to Victoria in his 20's and began working at a fine wine merchant where he developed a passion for wine. Through this passion Hadyn took up studying viticulture and wine making and after a number of harvest seasons at different Victorian Wineries and two in Napa Valley, Hadyn landed a full time role at Best's Wines in Great Western. In 2015 Hadyn, along with his best mate Darcy, started his own wine label Black & Ginger Wines. Then in 2016 Lucy and Hadyn found their dream at Hounds Run. Hounds Run is the representation of their partnership, a love of wine, the country and a pair of adorable hounds. The Tiny House was born from the beauty of the property and a desire to share that beauty with guests. …
