The Space:
Avondale Heights by Tiny Away is a captivating 5-acre property in Wimmera-Banyena, untouched for 40 years. As a young family, we find ourselves nestled in a secluded haven, where the world beyond feels far away. The quiet beauty of our surroundings turns this place into our own paradise, where every moment together feels both intimate and eternal.

Nearby, scenes from the famous 2020 film The Dry, starring Eric Bana, were filmed in Banyena. Notably, the opening scenes were shot at Banyena Hall. Just a short drive from our cozy farmhouse, you'll find these cinematic landmarks.

With our farm stay’s ongoing renovations, lush gardens, fruit orchards, friendly horses, and a miniature pony, there's always something exciting happening at our countryside retreat.

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 compost toilet, hand basin, and shower (gas-heated for hot showers).

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please advise that there might be some animal noise during your stay as we are animal lovers with two rescue horses and a miniature pony.

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the tiny house and its surrounding areas, except the land host's private residence.

Enjoy a cozy night making your own pizzas in our rustic wood-fired oven — firewood is provided for your convenience.

The Neighborhood:
Avondale Heights by Tiny Away is located in the scenic Banyena countryside, close to Horsham and just an hour's drive from Bendigo and Grampians, Victoria.

Only for the Brave

This one is only for the brave. The Tiny House itself is immaculate. well-presented and well-kept. The problem - and its a BIG one - concerns the immediate surroundings of main house, outbuildings etc etc. I see the owner claims that they are 'under renovation'. Under dilapidation would be a better terms. All that was missing to complete the picture of abandonment was a few rusting old cars... maybe its a film set (Texas Chainsaw Massacre?) and we missed the joke? Anyway, we took a look round and ran for it. Others might be more courageous.
