Elliott

Elliott is a tiny house run by off-grid-accommodation specialist In 2 the Wild.

Take a cruisy two-and-half-hour drive north-west of Melbourne, and that’s where you’ll find it – plonked in the middle of a lush property on the outskirts of Victoria’s Grampians National Park, near the town of Pomonal.

What this little lodging lacks in indoor space is more than made up for in the wide-open space, and rolling hills, surrounding it. And there are huge windows that let you take it all in.

The house comfortably sleeps four, with a queen-sized bed in the loft, and two single beds downstairs. There’s also a full bathroom (with a hot shower, importantly) and a heater and fans for all-season comfort. And while the kitchen is completely decked-out, you’ll also find a barbeque and campfire outside, as well as deckchairs to sink into.

One creature comfort that’s limited, though, is phone reception, which makes this the perfect spot to switch off. Instead, find plenty of books and boardgames to keep you occupied (or BYO).

Or you can think of it as your home base, and explore the breathtaking hikes, topnotch restaurants and wineries, and quaint country towns, which are only a short drive away.
