The Space:

Tiny Retreat by the River 2 by Tiny Away offers a serene wilderness escape in Goongerah, nestled along the Brodribb River in Gippsland, just an hour from Orbost, Victoria.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Our equestrian accommodation is set in a rural area with abundant wildlife, including wombats, peacocks, and more. We work to keep a safe, natural habitat for these animals. For everyone's safety, please avoid vegetated areas.



All water here comes from clean, filtered rainwater — perfectly safe for drinking and cooking. As part of our eco-friendly approach, we ask guests to take their waste with them, as there’s no rubbish collection on-site.
