Tiny House, Tremendous Views

The tiny house at Leith Hill is the perfect little secluded getaway to relax and unwind. We were in awe of the mountain view, which we marvelled at while enjoying a drink on the front deck during sunset and then in the morning while making brekkie in the kitchen.

I enjoyed lounging around on the daybed, reading a book and relaxing. As the property is located on a farm, we had a chance to pet some friendly cows and were also visited by some cockatoos wanting a feed. Once the sun went down we lit up the firepit and soaked up the wonderful atmosphere while chatting around the fire.

Warburton, set along the foothills of Mount Donna Buang and based along the Yarra River, is blessed with serene nature and provides ample options for activities and exploring.

During our stay we walked along Yarra River (also a great spot to swim in the warmer weather!), hiked through tall trees and ferns on the O’Shannassy Aqueduct trail and walked through a temperate rain forest via an elevated platform at Rainforest Gallery.

Staying at the Leith Hill tiny house is a beautifully serene experience. It is incredibly comfortable and cosy, with all the essential amenities and tiny house charm. We found it to be the ideal place to slow down, recharge and immerse oneself in mother nature.
