Forest Nook Tiny House by Tiny Away is located in the peaceful countryside of Buffalo, just two hours away from Melbourne. A cozy, pet friendly tiny house located on the north side, nestled in the bush at the edge of a paddock, with peaceful bushland views, and friendly goats to keep you company.

Nestled in a natural bush setting, this property offers a rugged and authentic Aussie escape — surrounded by native trees, fallen branches, and the sounds of the wild. It’s not a manicured garden, but a peaceful retreat into nature.
