7. Foxglove Cottage Tiny House – Robertson

Best for: Farm Tiny House, Brook, Kitchen, BBQ, Outdoor Cinema, Up to 3 Guests, $$

This stylish tiny house has an upstairs bedroom so you have more living space downstairs. On sunny days you can sit outside around the fire pit and enjoy country living ‘tiny-style’.

You’re not miles away in a paddock, you’re smack bang in the middle of the farm so you’ll hear the animals go about their everyday lives!

If you’re horsey then you’ll enjoy meeting the resident horses. You’re on the banks of Missingham Creek which has swimming holes for summer cool-offs. Bring a warm jacket – this tiny house is at a higher elevation so the temperatures are cooler.

Review; The tiny cottage didn’t feel small for two people at all. It was clean and had everything we needed.
