Summary:
Welcome to Tiny Retreat by the River, a peaceful farm stay at Kanukadale Care Farm, tucked away in the forests of the Wild East. This rustic retreat invites you to slow down, stroll along the quiet banks of the Brodribb River, and spend time with friendly animals like horses, donkeys, mini goats, and peacocks.
Surrender to the healing rhythm of equine therapy and unspoiled nature. #TinyHouseVictoria #FarmStay
The Space:
Tiny Retreat by the River by Tiny Away, offers a serene wilderness escape in Goongerah, nestled along the Brodribb River in Gippsland, just an hour from Orbost. The farm stay is near Mount Ellery and close to spots like Errinundra National Park, Martins Creek Scenic Reserve, McKillops Bridge, Marlo, and Snowy River National Park.
A cozy 139-square-foot tiny home with easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities. These amenities include an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste holding tank, hand basin, and gas-heated shower.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Our equestrian accommodation is set in a rural area with abundant wildlife, including wombats, peacocks, and more. We work to keep a safe, natural habitat for these animals. For everyone's safety, please avoid vegetated areas.
All water here comes from clean, filtered rainwater — perfectly safe for drinking and cooking. As part of our eco-friendly approach, we ask guests to take their waste with them, as there’s no rubbish collection on-site.
Guest Access:
Guests can access the tiny home but must not go through any closed gates except the gate to the river, which leads to off-leash dog runs.
Pre-orders are available with 24 hrs’ notice (extra fee): 1-Hour Crafting Session with the crew, Firewood Bundles or Wheelbarrow Loads, and a Wood-Fired Hot tub.
Equestrian activities are available with prior notice as well, include 1.5 hr Guided Trail Walk, 60 mins Therapy Horse Session, Pony Play, and Horse Clicker Training, and Group Sessions. More information is available at equinefusion.net.
The Neighborhood:
Tiny Retreat by the River by Tiny Away, is located at Kanukadale Care Farm in Goongerah. Surrounded by rugged landscapes, our farm stay invites you to explore beyond. Nearby, Cape Conran and Snowy River National Park offer stunning coastlines, deep gorges, and waterfalls.
If you're looking for more adventure, explore McKillops Bridge, Martins Creek Scenic Reserve for birdwatching, Errinundra National Park, and the quiet fishing town of Marlo.
