The Space:
Lara Grove Cottage by Tiny Away is located in Purdeet, just an hour's drive from Ballarat and 49 minutes away from Warrnambool. A coastal city located along the Great Ocean Road, known for its art, stunning parks, recreational activities, and the Southern Right Whales' arrival for winter calving.

Nearby attractions include Hopkins Falls, the charming coastal town of Port Fairy, and Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve. We're also close to the Grampians National Park, Mt Rouse in Penshurst, and just a short drive from both Port Fairy and Warrnambool.

This 139-square-foot tiny home is nestled in a peaceful paddock, offering beautiful sunrise views and the chance to watch our Highland Cattle graze nearby. It includes easy access to water, split-air conditioning, a kitchenette with cooking equipment, and an excellent bathroom. Amenities feature an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste tank, a hand basin, and a gas-heated shower—making it a perfect choice among relaxing holiday homes.

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to our cozy tiny home and the main paddock. But will have restricted access to our sheds and other paddocks. We also “HOST FARM TOURS”, where guests can meet the pigs and cattle—with 24 hours’ notice.
