The Space:
Black Forest Hide Away by Tiny Away sits in a bushland pocket with no roads or neighbours in sight. Wake up to the sounds of native birds, the occasional visit from kangaroos by 3-quiet dams, and koalas lounging in tall gums as the sun rises over your private retreat.
While it feels a world away, the farm stay is just 50 minutes from Melbourne and minutes from Macedon, perfectly placed to explore Hanging Rock, Mount Macedon, Camel’s Hump, and the seasonal autumnal colours of Honour Avenue. Wander Forest Glade Gardens or stay in and soak up the magic all around you.

We had the most amazing weekend staying at this Tiny Stay home. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how incredibly clean and well presented everything was. It honestly felt brand new and so thoughtfully set up.The space had absolutely everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Every little detail had been considered, which made it so easy to switch off and just enjoy the weekend. It was cosy, peaceful and the perfect little reset.Our host was so lovely and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.And the absolute highlight of the weekend was their beautiful golden retriever. Such a sweetheart and definitely made our stay extra special.We would 100% stay again and can’t recommend it enough!!
