The Space:
Ocean's Edge Retreat by Tiny Away is a cozy tiny house just outside Portland, Victoria. Tucked between our family home and a large shed, it still offers plenty of privacy and peace—perfect for a quiet escape. You’re just a short walk from Yellow Rock and only eight minutes from Cape Nelson Lighthouse, where whales and orcas are often seen in season.
What's more, the coastline is known for whale sightings, with Southern Right Whales from May to October, Blue Whales from November to May, and even Orcas spotted this year. Just 21 km away, Cape Bridgewater is a great place to take it all in, with a stunning 4 km sandy beach, a beachside café, cultural sites, and access to scenic walking trails like the Great South West Walk.
The Tiny House is currently positioned next to the main house due to temporary ground conditions, but privacy will not be affected.
After a day out, enjoy evenings by the fire pit, make use of the BBQ, and feel free to bring your pets along for the adventure. This cozy 139-square-foot tiny home features easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette with cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities. These include an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste holding tank, a hand basin, and a gas-heated shower—making it a perfect choice among relaxing holiday homes.
