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.

I booked this beautiful little get away for a surprise for my boyfriend’s birthday and it was an absolute treat! The place looked even better than photos could capture. The location is stunning - in t...he middle of the vineyard with sheep and horses in the neighbouring fields just across from us.
We had everything we needed in the house.
Thank you much for having us, Hadyn and Lucy :)

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 in 2016 with the established, but neglected, vineyard. Hadyn is a winemaker for his label Black & Ginger Wines and Lucy is the Sales & Brand Manager. Guests can visit the Black & Ginger Wine Shed, their cellar door, in Pomonal to sample their wines. 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, winemaker for our sister brand Black & Ginger Wines. Together we purchased a small vineyard in Great Western where we raised our fur babies Hunter, an Irish Wolfhound and Paddy, a greyhound x. Hunter sadly passed away in late September 2025 but Paddy still loves to greet our guests when they arrive.
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. In April 2025, they took the leap and opened the Black & Ginger Wine Shed in Pomonal, where guests can sample and purchase a wide range of their wines.
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.

Bunjil Shelter
Hearing of these paintings and the story of Bunjil had me intrigued to learn more and see the painting for myself. This is the only known painting of Bunjil, (and his 2 dingos) Bunjil is said to do no harm. The walk is pretty easy and there's lots of boulders to explore.
Lake Fyans
Unwind, switch off and enjoy the many lakes in the region. Whether its floating on a lilo or tube in summer or rugging up for a lakeside picnic and meander in autumn or spring. There is a beautiful lake to suit every season and landscape. Explore Lake Fyans, Rocklands Reservoir, Lake Lonsdale, Lake Bellfield and Lake Wartook and soak up the natural beauty and peace.
Live Fast Cafe
Live fast cafe, the perfect Sunday morning breakfast. Great coffee, food and awesome friendly staff. Pro-tip, the cauliflower fritters and amazing.
Venus Baths Loop
Follow this 2.3km track that winds along the creek to the beautiful Venus Baths rock pools. An easy 30-minute walk, to return cross the footbridge at the other end of the creek, this track takes you back to Halls Gap.
Rock Climbing
The Grampians National Park contains hundreds of exhilarating climbs, particularly on the rugged cliff faces of Mounts Stapylton and Rosea. The perfect way to begin your rock climbing and abseiling adventure is to contact a local adventure company who offer a range of climbing and abseiling courses, including introductory lessons for the novice and programs covering advanced skills for even the most knowledgeable climber. Even in bad weather local caves and shelters provide countless opportunities for climbing on rainy days. Explore the Gallery, Millennium Caves and Muline Cave in the Victoria Range.
Beehive Falls
It had been raining a fair bit and this waterfall would be flowing well. so we decided to go check it out!
