The Space:
The Whistling Frog by Tiny Away is located in the charming town of Neerim South, West Gippsland, within the Shire of Baw Baw. Just 109 km east of Melbourne and 19 km north of Warragul, the retreat sits beside a dam, surrounded by a 270-degree forest with mountain views to the west.

It’s located close to Mt Baw Baw and Toorongo Falls—about an hour from Melbourne and 20 minutes from Warragul. This cozy 139-square-foot tiny home offers spectacular sunset views, abundant wildlife, and soothing soundscapes that make you feel truly at home in nature.

Along with its serene setting, the farm stay features easy access to water, split-air conditioning, a kitchenette with cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities. These amenities include an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste-holding tank, hand basin, and gas-heated shower.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the unfenced dam, children are welcome with close adult supervision and must not leave children unaccompanied.

Great, quiet little getaway

I booked this for two nights and was a great experience for me, my partner and small dog. Location was just past the main street of town so if you needed anything it was close by. The accommodation itself was further back on the property, but it still felt like you had the place to yourself. All essential amenities were provided and the place was very clean. The owners have done good work in the landscaping out the front of the place and was perfect for morning sun as well as evenings by the fire. Thanks for a great stay
