Summary:
Sheryl's Place by Tiny Away spans 500 acres of undulating land lined with native trees and bordered entirely by Wellsford State Forest. The open terrain creates a sense of space that feels uninterrupted in every direction. Sunsets stretch across the ridgelines, and the night sky reveals constellations as clear as it gets. Bring a book, forget about your inbox, and let the bushland soundtrack take over.
The Space:
Sheryl’s Place by Tiny Away sits in Fosterville, just 20 minutes from Bendigo, where wide paddocks meet treed ridges and the Wellsford Forest wraps it all in green. The tiny house sits 50 metres from the main home, giving you your own patch of land, sky, and silence. It’s a base for low-key adventures: bike the O’Keefe Rail Trail, cool off at Lake Eppalock, or dig into Bendigo’s gold rush roots at Central Deborah. At night, the stars shine brightly, and the forest ambiance lulls you into a restful night's sleep.
The 139-square-foot tiny home includes water access, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking gear, and a private bathroom with a gas-heated shower, hand basin, and eco-friendly cassette toilet.
Guest Access:
Guests have full access to the tiny house and the outdoor area immediately surrounding it.
The Neighborhood:
Sheryl’s Place by Tiny Away sits in Fosterville, just 20 minutes from Bendigo, in a part of Victoria where bushland meets backroads. The area is defined by its undulating ranges and a gold-mining past tucked just west of the Campaspe River. It’s a region with grit and character: dirt trails, old digger routes, and locals who still wave from passing utes.
The O’Keefe Rail Trail runs nearby, connecting Bendigo and Heathcote with tracks built for bikes, boots, and big thinking. Go fishing at Rocky Crossing, swim at Lake Eppalock, or head into Bendigo for underground tunnels at Central Deborah Gold Mine and expansive lawns at the Botanic Gardens in White Hills.
