Pet Friendly Farm Stay Glamping in a Victoria Tiny Home | Cabin in Smeaton
1 Bedroom Cabin in Smeaton
Our 140-acre regenerative farm in Lawrence sits on Dja Dja Wurrung country. We’re turning former grazing land into a diverse, drought-resilient ecosystem. We focus on grass-fed beef and agroforestry, and also have free-ranging geese, ducks, chickens, and friendly dogs.
Guests can hike up the mountain for amazing views, enjoy a cheese platter at sunset, and relax by their own campfire under the stars (May–Dec, weather permitting).
