Something Different is a large machinery shed that has been converted into a comfortable holiday house with three bedrooms and one bathroom (extra toilet outside) and huge living spaces. You can really kick back here and relax! The walls and ceilings have been extensively insulated. There is a wood heater in the kitchen and another one in the main part of the Shed so it can be kept nice and cosy despite its size! You can drive your car/van inside the shed if you wish or park it under any of the many surrounding trees. The Shed sleeps 10 in total (base price covers all 10), with 1 queen and 1 single bed in one room, 1 dbl bed and 2 single beds in another room, and 1 queen bed and 1 single bed in a third room. All linen, towels, etc. are provided. If you have more people, they are welcome to pitch a tent or park their caravan on the grounds around the shed. For a large group (say 10 plus) we charge an extra $20 (total) to cover the extra power you will need. There's a chook yard/dog yard with 2 kennels outside but you're welcome to have your dog (not chooks) inside the Shed. 14km from Donnybrook 37km from CollieSomething Different is a large machinery shed that has been converted into a comfortable holiday house with three bedrooms and one bathroom (extra toilet outside) and huge living spaces.

IMPORTANT:  Please ensure you book in the correct number of people in your group!  You can drive right into the shed and park your vehicle inside if you wish or under any of the outside trees. The Shed is separated from our house by a dam and many trees so you have your own private space.

Good spot close to Bunbury/Donnybrook/Australind. We stayed at the SHED for a weekend in November 2024. (4 families) with 8 kids between us and 2 dogs. 1 family in a camper trailer & the others in the SHED. Our kids enjoyed using the kayaks on the dam. The massive kitchen was fully stocked with pots/pans/cutlery and utensils plenty of room for us all just to kick back chill out, relax and recharge the batteries before silly season arrived 😜 Thank you Vivien

My friends and I stayed here for the week and we already miss it. The dam is great to swim in and use the kayaks, and the shed itself is really spacious which was good for socialising and moving around. The place was equipped with everything we needed for the week and we had a very comfortable stay.

Can cater a larger group
Ran a Bux party here with 15 lads. We were respectful of the land but could play music loud, play some wide games in the damn and chill as a large crowd without feeling like the living space was small. Parking cars wasn't an issue for the group and could set up tents as well. I took up several large pans because I wanted to cook mass food for the group quickly but I don't think that's a short coming of the host, there is decent kitchen gear available for usual guests. This facility is awesome for a large family or even multiple families that wanted to have a fun getaway. Thanks so much for a great stay Vivien!

Weekend Getaway
We loved the Something Differeht Shed. It was exactly what it said. We loved the whole set-up, from the relaxed atmosphere of the shed to the peace and quiet of the location. Would be even better in the slightly warmer months so we could use the kayaks and boards on the dam but the indoor wood fires and camp fire outside kept us nice and warm. We will be back. Thank you Vivien we loved our weekend.

Great big shed with indoor fire to keep us out of the weather when it came in. Lucky we didn’t need it too much so the big fire pit out front was where it was at. Paddock we camped in was pretty well fenced to keep the dogs in except for the gap under the front gate which fronted a fairly busy road. Lots of games for the kids. Felt like I was back in the 80s. Clean warm beds. Vivienne was quite quick to respond to queries. Thanks for a great stay. We all had a great time.

Great host thank you Vivien! Best place for getting away into quiet and nature, but to still have access to the basic amenities.
