Tiny House Glamping on a Horse Farm in Macclesfield, Ideal for a Nature Escape from Melbourne

Description

Conveniently located between the Dandenong Ranges and the Yarra Valley, this is the perfect place to pause and take a breath. Enjoy your stay surrounded by rolling hills and natural bushland, beautiful horses and an abundance of wildlife. Home to an Equestrian Centre, this 20-acre farm also features a small orchard, market gardens, a beehive, and a flock of Suffolk sheep.

An easy and scenic drive to delightful towns such as Olinda, Sassafras, Gembrook, Yarra Glen, Warburton and Healesville, Royal Meadows is the perfect base from which to explore this beautiful part of Victoria.

The Space:
Located in Macclesfield, East of Melbourne's central business district and just 10 minutes from the township of Emerald. Here you can rest and enjoy comfortable accommodation with easy access to water, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities.

Built on principles of regenerative agriculture, self-sufficiency and sustainable living, the property is powered by off-grid solar electricity and sustained with the help of captured rainwater.

Tiny House bathroom follows ecologically sustainable principles, including a cassette toilet with a removable waste-holding tank, hand basin, and shower (gas heated for hot showers). It focuses on satisfying people's needs with natural resources and processes to save water by using eco-friendly toilets to save the environment.

Careful management of land and livestock means deep-rooted, healthy pastures, as well as providing habitat for native flora and fauna. Kookaburras, rosellas, blue wrens and cockatoos are common and the property is also home to wombats. Don’t be surprised if you also see kangaroos, soaring wedge-tailed eagles and the occasional echidna.
