The perfect weekend base to explore Metung and the surrounding lakes. Our converted country barn is set in it's own English country courtyard garden, away from the main house, so very private and peaceful. The sounds of the frogs send you to sleep at night and you have a choice of starting your mornings with a locally produced breakfast basket containing our own fresh eggs, and local bread and honey, or a fresh coffee. Perfect for couples, but there is also a fold out single bed. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchenette - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Free breakfast available - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 10 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - No smoke detector (host has indicated there is no smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Annual offsets purchased for at least 10% of carbon footprint - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - At least 80% of food locally-sourced - Bed sheets changed on request - Bicycle parking - Biodegradable coffee stirrers available - Composting - Comprehensive recycling policy - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Garden - Local artist showcase - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - No plastic coffee stirrers - No plastic drinking straws - No plastic soft drink bottles - No plastic water bottles - Reusable cups - Reusable tableware - Towels (changed on request) - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88940000/88935200/88935187/8bafda74.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Secluded Garden Studio close to village and lakes Metung - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space - Barbecue grill 10 Exceptional 42 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-18&endDate=2026-02-19&selected=88935187&PinnedHotelID=88935187&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105960000/105958900/105958834/9260234f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Metung Hideaway by Tiny Away Metung - Kitchen - Air-conditioning - Parking available - Microwave £123 includes taxes & fees 8 Feb - 9 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-08&endDate=2026-02-09&selected=105958834&PinnedHotelID=105958834&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace, DVD player, ping pong](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70310000/70309400/70309305/9dd5662b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Serenity, Relaxation, Magnificent water views and stunning Sunsets!...

A lovely breakfast with eggs and honey from the property and delicious home made jam, while we soaked in the garden and our dog sunbaked. She was very helpful in terms of telling us about local activities, we went on some great local walks and ate some delicious cake! (Ask Sarah about cake Friday). We needed a quiet break away from Melbourne and this was beautiful and perfect. ##### Melanie A.

Not sure the owner checked bread, which was mouldy but we enjoyed the surrounds and wonderful bird life and so did our two small dogs. ##### John W.

Nice little spot away from town. We stayed in a little shack at the back of the property.You enter the property, and park in a little nook on the right. You walk about 30m down the grass and find the shack out the back.There was kindling and firewood provided but unfortunately due to weather, we could light the fire. It was warm and cosy. Sarah provided some fresh local eggs and ciabatta for brekky.It was a little tight for ##### Noella G.
