Tea Garden Creek Farm Retreat 2 by Tiny Away

Summary:

With nearly a century of farming heritage, Tea Garden Creek Farm Retreat 2 is a family-owned, pet-friendly property offering a truly authentic country and romantic getaway in Victoria. This farm stay has been lovingly maintained by the Hodgens family, reflecting a lifestyle of calm and sustainability. Set on the edge of Wangaratta, our tiny house is rooted in a history of growing Yates seeds and tobacco and is now home to cattle and country charm.



The Space:

Tea Garden Creek Farm Retreat 2 by Tiny Away is set among green paddocks and a beautiful natural pond with a water fountain, surrounded by wildlife and farm life. Just 20 minutes from Wangaratta, our pet-friendly tiny house offers the quiet beauty of the countryside, with stunning sunsets and easy access to nearby wineries, cafes, and local attractions.



A romantic getaway set in a 139-square-foot tiny house with easy access to water, split-system air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities. Amenities include an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste-holding tank, a hand basin, and a gas-heated shower.



What’s more, you can discover the beauty of the region by car or e-bike along scenic trails. Visit iconic spots like Brown Brothers Winery, Woolshed Falls, and the Ned Kelly Museum. In winter, head to Mt. Buffalo or Mt. Hotham for snow-filled fun—or simply unwind in the peaceful surroundings of this unique farm stay.
