The Space:
Great Success Stud by Tiny Away puts you right by Tongala, on a working horse training complex where the rhythm of galloping hooves starts your day. Stay in a tiny house surrounded by countryside calm, with daily training sessions just outside your door.
Explore the region with a Sunday trip to the Girgarre Market, a visit to Kyabram Fauna Park to meet native animals, or an afternoon of wine and live music at the Shiraz Republic. Echuca’s paddleboats, the Violet Town Market, and Mitchelton Wines are all within easy reach.
Thic cozy 139-square-foot tiny home features easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities. These amenities include an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste holding tank, hand basin, and gas-heated shower—making it a perfect choice among relaxing holiday homes.
Guest Access:
Guests can access the tiny home and the outdoor space directly around it. Please avoid the caretaker’s residence and horse training areas unless you have been invited.
Transport from nearby towns can be arranged for a small fee — Tongala $10, Echuca $25.
The Neighborhood:
This is country life, the kind that runs deep, at Great Success Stud by Tiny Away. Just over an hour from Bendigo, the property places you right near Tongala—a town that’s practical, proud, and full of familiar faces.
On the second Sunday of the month, follow the locals to Girgarre Market, where handmade goods and homegrown produce fill stalls and fences alike. It’s more than a market—it’s a slice of the community, served with a smile.
The local flavour doesn’t stop there—Kyabram Fauna Park brings you face to face with kangaroos in open paddocks, while Echuca adds river energy and historic charm to the mix.
For slower afternoons, Shiraz Republic offers wine, music, and countryside views. Or take a scenic drive to Mitchelton Wines to enjoy tastings among the vines. Violet Town Market is also nearby—a regional favourite where locals trade fresh produce, handmade goods, and warm conversation.
In the heart of the Goulburn Valley, this is a region built on fruit, dairy, and a strong connection to the land. It’s country life, and it’s yours to experience.
