Take a deep sleep reset in the Australian wilderness

Detailed summary

Deep in Victoria’s Strzelecki Ranges, where our home for the next 24 hours is considerably smaller than our own garage.

No screens, no schedules and nowhere to be. Meg Law ventures into Victoria’s wild Strzelecki Ranges for a deep sleep reset.

We’ve barely left home when the inevitable question comes from our 9-year-old, Jasper, in the back seat.

Our destination? Deep in Victoria’s Strzelecki Ranges, where our home for the next 24 hours is considerably smaller than our own garage.

Welcome to Tiny Bobbie. But don’t let the name fool you. This tiny house, near the South Gippsland township of Loch, delivers one mighty adventure.

For a family accustomed to epic road trips and squeezing every last drop out of a destination, deliberately doing very little feels almost rebellious.

Part of the Into The Wild Escapes collection, Tiny Bobbie is tucked into secluded Australian bushland, surrounded by towering eucalyptus trees, rolling green hills and a small lake.

While the setting screams back-to-basics adventure, the accommodation delivers a crafty contradiction.

There’s a modern kitchen, cosy beds dressed in oatmeal and sage linen, expansive windows framing the countryside and, the undisputed showstopper, an outdoor bathtub with front-row seats to Mother Nature.

Within minutes, Jasper has claimed his attic sleeping quarters, our teen daughter, Daisy, is jumping into her bikini for a sunset soak, and husband Matt is already in his Akubra surveying the firepit, planning a campfire cook-off.
