Mooramong remains temporarily closed following recent fire activity in the Skipton area.
Tiny Helen
Tiny Helen sleeps up to four with a double-bed in the loft and another double-bed by the window.
This tiny home is suitable for a two-wheel drive. Be wary of sharp rocks on the property when driving. Please park in the designated parking spot and walk 150 metres.
We’ve partnered with Into the Wild Escapes to introduce Tiny Helen, located on the Historic Mooramong Estate, formerly owned by Australian millionaire Donald ‘Scobie’ MacKinnon and Hollywood star Claire Adams. Tiny Helen is named after the Book ‘The of the Forest’ by Zane Grey and movie star Claire Adam’s Character, Helen.
The tiny home is secluded; however, it is a working farm, so prepare to fully immerse yourself in country life as you might see farmers, a tractor, or animals in a nearby paddock.
