Beautiful Oasis
We found our stay at Kokoro to be probably the best part of our trip to Melbourne. The outside bath was so lovely to soak in while listening to the sounds of the forrest. It was quite overcast and raining while we were there but it made it even better! If we ever return, we would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful location but a few things to consider.
Location was lovely. Truly in amongst the forest. The tiny house was as described - tiny! There were several key things not explained to us prior however. The main one was privacy: the other houses are very close by, and our tiny house didn't have a blind on the window next to the driveway, so people could see directly in as they were walking past or in their own tiny house! The proximity to the actual road to the house itself was very close too - we stayed in Kokoro for reference. The mattress was quite thin - something to keep in mind if you struggle with back pain for example. We did feel the host really went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The kitchen was lovely and there were some great treats in the cupboard - even a lovely bottle of wine for us to share! Overall we really appreciated the level of hospitality provided. We could see what was trying to be achieved as a vision for the house and the surroundings, but felt the serenity was broken by lack of privacy.

Tiny home getaway
Heather was very responsive. The location was beautiful and the tiny home was cozy. A little close to the other two homes if you are really mindful of privacy and had a little trouble pulling the bed out but apart from that we really enjoyed our stay.

Relaxing connection with nature
Such a unique property bordering the Otway National Park, very beautiful walk through forest and plenty of area for quiet amongst the trees and wildlife. My 8 year old daughter loves nature and couldn't get enough of it. Already booked our next stay.

Wonderful tiny house with beautiful surrounds. Heather was an amazing host who drove over an hour to help us out with an issue. Great location only 15-20 minutes away from Lorne town centre.
