Tiny Castle is a custom built tiny house that overlooks farmland, bushland and the glorious Stzelecki Ranges including Mount Worth. With a large covered deck connected to the front of the tiny house, you don't have to go anywhere to witness Wedge-tailed Eagles, Black Cockatoos, King Parrots, Rosellas and Kookaburra to name a few. Or wombats scurrying into their warren in the embankment just below the tiny house. Or the wallabies that hang out in the front paddock. If you're a fit walker, you can hike up to the back of the property that borders an old pine plantation now full of regrowth where herds of deer call it home. At the right time of day, you're likely to see all kinds of water fowl in the damns around the property. And if you're lucky, our 3 alpaca will let you photograph them as they stare you down, but no cuddles for these guys -- they're there to keep the foxes away. Night time is magical. With no light pollution, it's a stargazers paradise and on a still evening you'll hear boobooks, possums and frogs. The popular tourist village of Yarragon is 16km down a winding unsealed road one way, while the larger town of Mirboo North is about the same distance going the other way. Mount Worth State Park is 13km from our property and Lyrebird Forest Walk Regional Park is 26km just outside Mirboo North. While there's a lot to do around these parts, my guess is you won't want to leave the property.Be on top of the world at Tiny Castle, a miniature version of a contemporary 2-bedroom country house that overlooks a magnificent valley of paddocks, plantations and primary bush with the Strzelecki ranges as a spectacular backdrop. Electric heat and hot water means you can enjoy the Gippsland serenity all year round. Guests are close enough to the main house to feel secure and looked after while still enjoying complete privacy with their own entrance and parking area and a stand of mature trees between the two properties. There's a set of steps directly in front of the tiny house for the use of guests so they can access the old farm track below which allows them to explore the rest of the 100 acres. It's hilly and the track can be muddy so you'll want to bring appropriate footwear but the hour or so hike to the top of "Maria's Hill" is well worth the effort. You will definitely get a work out! There's a small creek on the property and several damns so if you're a twitcher you will love this place. Spring brings wildflowers as well as exotics planted by the original owners who farmed this place and Autumn brings a myriad of fungi which Susan, your host, is wholly obsessed with photographing.
