Kookaburras cackle as the clouds slowly drift down Mount Buffalo while we sit, swish a local bottle of saperavi and watch dusk fall on an enchanting spring evening in the High Country. We're at The Buckland Studios, a romantic kid-free getaway with stunning views of Mount Buffalo.

Van, trailer and bus conversions might be among the more peculiar tiny home stays, but the Yarra Valley Tram Stay may just claim the title of the most unique stay in Victoria. Situated within the scenic surroundings of the two-acre historic property, the 1935 W-Class Old Melbourne Tram, named Doris, finds its home in the idyllic Yarra Valley. 

There’s off-grid, and then there are cabins surrounded by nothing but nature, no connection to the outside world, and no reception, off-grid—without forgetting all the necessary creature comforts of course. And if that’s your jam, then you’re in luck because there are a handful of must-stays across Victoria.

The first to be booked are likely the escapes that truly disconnect one from the world that is, like this stunningly bucolic yurt stay in the High Country region known as The Yurt Alpine Retreat. 

If you’re looking for a memorable getaway there’s not much that can quite compare to parking up in a nineteenth-century French castle. Located in the top end of Victoria in Rutherglen, one of the state's most pristine stretches of land for wine and produce sits Mount Ophir Estate.
