Relax and unwind
Lovely tiny house that is exactly what we needed for a getaway not to mention the fresh air and rainforest feel of the place. Quiet area however just k ow that there is some driving on unpaved road to get there so keep in mind when booking and what car you will bring (or just drive extra carefully if its lowered).

Beautiful Oasis
We found our stay at Kokoro to be probably the best part of our trip to Melbourne. The outside bath was so lovely to soak in while listening to the sounds of the forrest. It was quite overcast and raining while we were there but it made it even better! If we ever return, we would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful location but a few things to consider.
Location was lovely. Truly in amongst the forest. The tiny house was as described - tiny! There were several key things not explained to us prior however. The main one was privacy: the other houses are very close by, and our tiny house didn't have a blind on the window next to the driveway, so people could see directly in as they were walking past or in their own tiny house! The proximity to the actual road to the house itself was very close too - we stayed in Kokoro for reference. The mattress was quite thin - something to keep in mind if you struggle with back pain for example. We did feel the host really went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The kitchen was lovely and there were some great treats in the cupboard - even a lovely bottle of wine for us to share! Overall we really appreciated the level of hospitality provided. We could see what was trying to be achieved as a vision for the house and the surroundings, but felt the serenity was broken by lack of privacy.

Hello Max, thankyou for writing your review about your stay in your tiny house. We appreciate your feedback. We do try our best to ensure our lovely guests enjoy their experience. It is a beautiful peaceful rainforest location. We are sorry that you felt privacy was an issue. While two of the three windows have blinds we have planted screening plants in front of all windows to assist privacy and will definitely consider another blind. The lights have a dimmer switch as well. The tiny houses are 30-50 metres apart . I don't believe you can see directly into the other houses if the blinds are closed and given the location in the forest. I have investigated other mattress options but was unsuccessful, so that is why each mattress has a mattress topper as well as a high quality lambswool overlay.. The lambswool mattress protector are high quality at a cost of $200 each. I appreciate the beds may not be ideal if someone has a back ailment, but we do our best with the limited bedding options to fit a tiny house. And are constantly sourcing better options to improve the experience and as things come to market. Having spoken to some guests, they appear to be purely relaxing in the moment and barely aware of the two other houses or even if they are occupied! These tiny houses are a fairly new venture and an ongoing learning process and continuous quality assurance. Thanking you kindly again for submitting your review. All the very best. Warm regards Heather.

Tiny home getaway
Heather was very responsive. The location was beautiful and the tiny home was cozy. A little close to the other two homes if you are really mindful of privacy and had a little trouble pulling the bed out but apart from that we really enjoyed our stay.

Relaxing connection with nature
Such a unique property bordering the Otway National Park, very beautiful walk through forest and plenty of area for quiet amongst the trees and wildlife. My 8 year old daughter loves nature and couldn't get enough of it. Already booked our next stay.

Wonderful tiny house with beautiful surrounds. Heather was an amazing host who drove over an hour to help us out with an issue. Great location only 15-20 minutes away from Lorne town centre.

Breathtaking!
We loved our stay amongst the treetops in Kokoro. Every little personal touch was incredibly thoughtful and really enhanced our stay. It felt like coming home to nature. The property is stunning and the forest walk was truly medicine for our soul. Thank you ever so much Heather for creating such a unique magical forest escape x
