Only an hour drive and short ferry ride from Melbourne but feel like you're a million miles away. Take in the calm serenity of French Island National Park from the comfort of our brand new tiny house situated on a very spacious and scenic area of a 70 hectare property. French Island is Victoria's largest coastal island and promises a truly remote and unforgettable experience. Completely off-grid and immersed in pristine landscapes, take the opportunity to get nature-bound. You may wish to go hiking, fishing, sit on the beach, explore the National Park or wildlife watching (birds, koalas, echidnas, potoroos). Choose your own adventure on this unique island.
This is one of two tiny houses on the property. The tiny houses are 100 metres apart and not visible from one another. There is a private house on the property but a reasonable distance away and cannot be seen from the tiny house.
*Getting to French Island - 2 options*
1. Westernport Ferries run daily services either from Stony Point or Phillip Island. At Stony Point, parking is available in the foreshore carpark or on Stony Point road. For ferry bookings and timetable visit their website. There is also a train station at Stony Point serviced my Metro Trains.
2. The Spirit of French Island barge operates between Corinella and French Island. It can take vehicles as well as walk-on passengers. The daily schedule is dependent on the tide. Bookings are essential. Contact us for further details.
*Transport on French Island* - If youâve arrived on the island in your own vehicle via the barge, youâre all set!
We can provide a hire car during your stay with us on the island. This is a separate arrangement and is NOT covered by Stayz policies. If you would like to take up this offer please let us know. Note a fee is applicable which covers cleaning and petrol.
Went for our anniversary and my patrner loved it and the location had a great view. Communication with host was excellent and the stay was what it presented in the pictures.
Terrific Tiny House that is located in tranquil bush setting .If you are looking to get away from it all this is a bit of tranquil paradise. Highly recommend
The tiny house is nestled in the bush. We had koalas within 10m of the property and the sunset view over the island was great. The outdoor bath is excellent.
It was wonderful experience to stay at tiny house.
We enjoyed spa so much, and the whole place was amazing.
They've got everything we need. I will definitely come back in summer, so we can enjoy the sunset(the weather wasn't that good) and tracking.
Thank you to Russell who was very kind and guided us through for everything.
See you again!
The house and island are certainly tiny, but the possibilities are endless! Everything was clean and easy to access and use, with the fire pit being a particulate favourite of ours. Russ is a great host and provided plenty of firewood for this fire-crazed lunatic to burn. All the amenities are provided, but Iâd strongly recommend bringing your own food for dinners as the general store has a sparse range of groceries. 10/10 would stay again.
Great place for total isolation (living in Melbourne CBD we don't have the peace and quiet we experienced there).
Didn't even use the TV - Just switched off mobile devices (they do work there if anyone wants to use them) and read books, explore the wildlife etc.
Made friends with a cute echidna (saw him/her/they) every evening and the cows over the fence.
Great location, beautifully maintained and appointed tiny house, tranquil surroundings, glorious sunsets, outdoor BBQ and firepit were perfect for escaping the business of life.
Thanks Russ! We'll be back for sure!
