The Space: Lara Grove Cottage by Tiny Away is located in Purdeet, just an hour's drive from Ballarat and 49 minutes away from Warrnambool. A coastal city located along the Great Ocean Road, known for its art, stunning parks, recreational activities, and the Southern Right Whales' arrival for winter calving.
Nearby attractions include Hopkins Falls, the charming coastal town of Port Fairy, and Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve. We're also close to the Grampians National Park, Mt Rouse in Penshurst, and just a short drive from both Port Fairy and Warrnambool.
