Imagine waking up to views of cows and sheeps right infront of your bed. Upon check in, we were greeted by Mary Rose, the owner of this 50 acre property who gave us a hands on farm tour. We fed ducks, ponies, chickens and picked freshly laid warm eggs for us to cook, we let the cows and sheeps out and walked down to see the horses. You're not able to ride the horses but you can pat and feed them carrots at anytime during your stay. The farm is yours to explore.
The tiny truck itself can sleep two adults on a queen bed on the main loft, a second loft with a single bed can fit a child aged 5+ and the third loft with another single bed is suitable for 8+. You have to climb up a steep ladder to get to this loft. We were a family of 5, so the youngest slept on the couch. We mainly spent time outside or just a 10 min drive to Torquay Beach
Cooking: There's two gas stoves, a kettle, basic pots and cookware, selection of teas and a mini fridge. On cold days, there's a small electric heater to plug in or a wood fireplace.
Mary Rose lives on the property too which also houses two tiny trucks and a another tiny home. It's so huge that you'll hardly ever bump into anyone else. There is a toilet and shower 50m walk which is shared. There's also a surprise on your verandah - a compost toilet for those nights you can't be bothered walking to the toilet lol. It is out in the open. We didn't use it, it was easier to just to go the toilet outside.
What I loved about this place is that it's so peaceful and animals roam freely. As you walk out of the toilet you might bump into a pony. As you walk around, chooks may follow you. The space - studio truck itself is really really cosy!!
There's a dog, Gus, who is a friendly energetic dog that runs around. My kids loved him. So just a heads up if you're not a dog person then this is probably not the place for you.
We did it for the experience and i can definitely say my kids had so much fun here with less screen time!
