Cockatoo Express tiny house

My stay at the Cockatoo Express was nothing but magical. Nadia was such a lovely host. Highly recommend! It was worth every penny.

Embark on a journey where you are yourself the destination!

Styled like a vintage sleeper car, this tiny home takes you back in time and beyond time.
This cosy and warm space with a beautiful garden view is perfect to retire from hustle & bustle of the city. Relax, sleep, read, meditate, stretch, do yoga, hike in Dandenong Ranges to take care of the body and silence that monkey mind.

The tiny house is roughly the size of the Orient-Express deluxe cabin (~7 square meters). The space feels cosy like (including railway sounds, if you are after an immersive experience!).

It is optimised with sufficient storage: shelves, hooks and hangers. An electric blanket and electric log heater are provided for colder nights, a portable fan for hotter days. 95% of items are consciously sourced second hand objects.

Perfect for slow travellers, this is your space for a solo retreat and reconnecting with yourself and nature. Sleep or read on the vintage brass bed, journal at the beautiful antique desk, make yourself a tea from the lovely fine bone china and a selection of 5 Dilmah teas in tea bags or loose leaves, or make a coffee in a vintage plunger.

This accommodation would perfectly suit someone who spends the day hiking or doing other activities in Dandenong ranges and simply need a space to sleep, or someone looking for an affordable place for a solo retreat.

Guests Toilet and Lavabo are available 24/7 in the main house upstairs. The shared bathroom with shower is inside the main house, available 8am-11pm. An outdoors camping 10 liter pressure shower and a shower tent can be made available per request.

You will in addition have access to a spacious yoga/meditation room in the main house, peaceful living room with a piano you can play on, and an art gallery feeling on a drawback of a stunning forest view, as well as fully equipped kitchen and a meals area.

A tray with various decorative items including a green glass, a white candle, a silver carafe, and a jewelry box with necklaces. There is also a green cloth and a green yarn on the tray, with a background of a glass crystal vase and other decorative pieces.
