Local Escapes

16 Of The Best Tiny Homes Victoria Has To Offer In 2025

By

There are a range of different ways to escape the city and into Victoria's amazing regional areas. You can hit up some cottages and cabins to get away from it all, you can go camping, you can find an Airbnb that's up your alley—but out of all the quirky getaway options out there, we think tiny homes in Victoria top the charts. 

In the tiny homes debate about which quaint spot has the better sweeping views, we felt it was only right to collate this list. In no particular order, here are Urban List’s picks for the best tiny homes in Victoria for 2025:

Greta South Elm's Escape

Your own charming tiny home just a short drive from the fabulous wineries of the King Valley? Sign us up! Elm’s Escape is a divine retreat sitting by the banks of Middle Creek in Greta South, Victoria. It’s got everything you need for an adorable stay, with the added bonus that you can bring your dog along for the ride. When you’re not out wine-tasting, there’s shady picnic spots to sit at with a good book, or you can fill up the gorgeous white claw-foot bath, gaze out of the picture window and embrace the zen. We love the little bar counter on the outside deck—it’s just the spot to sit with a cheese platter and a glass of the good stuff, plus there’s a fire pit for stoking once the sun goes down.

Forrest Steam: Vintage Train Carriage

The same hosts of arguably the best Airbnb for large groups are also the masterminds behind this beaut of a tiny home. Whilst it doesn’t follow the exact conventions of what you might associate with a tiny home (and it sleeps up to six people), a converted vintage train carriage that exudes 1920’s sounds mighty fine to us.

Aptly named Steam, the design speaks for itself—and the accolades even more so (winner of Airbnb Best Unique Design 2023)—with its beautifully arched ceilings and cherry-red velvet curtains. Fitted out with an outdoor bathtub, indoor wood fireplace, and vintage pieces—plus all the essentials like a fully-functioning kitchen, and outdoor BBQ.

Blampied Anarres Organic Eco Village

Not only is this ultra quaint tiny house nailing the #cottagecore aesthetic, but it also rests on its very own organic farm. Surrounded by fruit and nut orchards, the Anarres stay is an off-grid escape perfect for grounding yourself in nature and slowing the pace. Situated in Blampied—close to the spa country region of Daylesford and Hepburn—there is a bountiful selection of spots to explore during your stay. Think the Captains Creek Winery, which is only a quick walk from you lay your head at night. 

Kallista Larnook On The Bay

A front-runner for the best tiny home in Victoria purely on looks, Larnook On The Bay is a chic stay that may be small in stature but is packed full of soul. Located in Bass, around two hours from Melbourne, Larnook is positioned with views out to the water. The off-grid stay has a range of comforts. Inside, you'll find plenty of earthy furnishings and the outdoor section has an outdoor fireplace and hot shower for those balmy summer evenings. The champions that own this place also throw in a complimentary bottle of wine from local boutique winemaker Emilian Wines for you to enjoy during your stay. There are four options for you to choose from: Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir and Rose.

Castlemaine Glamtainer

Tiny houses are pretty rad, they’ve got everything you need for a quick weekend getaway and it’s reasonably hard to get lost inside them. If you’re wanting something a little fancier than your run-on-the-mill tiny house, this Castlemaine ‘Glamtainer’ has your name on it.  Styled to a tee, the aesthetic is spot on here; the bedroom leads out onto a wooden verandah with morning sun pouring in and some seriously tranquil views with the bush just outside your front door. It also has its very own kitchen so you’re all set. 

Healesville Restored Bedford Bus

It’s got it all—self check-in, Netflix, cosy queen size bed, fireplace, outdoor bathtub, and even the owners even leave you a cute personalised welcome message on the chalkboard door.

With one of Victoria's premier food and wine regions at your doorstep, this stay is worth its weight in gold; a homely refuge after several wine tastings and sitting through a degustation at any of the premium cellar doors in the area. Set on a sprawling property, there are spectacular views of native bush and the stay is loaded with everything you could need including a hammock for that afternoon sun siesta.
