Back Station Creek Retreat by Tiny Away

Summary:
Welcome to Back Station Creek Retreat! The ideal Gundagai accommodation is located 5 mins from town. A peaceful farmland with rolling hills, stunning sunrises and sunset views, and a mix of cows in one paddock, and sheep in the other. Wildlife abounds, including echidnas and an abundance of birds such as parrots, Rosella's cockatoos, and owls. A pet horse named "Gena" and her best friend "Beth," the sheep who loves to be patted, with a dog yard adjacent to the tiny house.

Located on the topside paddock, with a vacant paddock on one side and your land host's house on the other, screened with trees for privacy.

Great spot especially with a pet
We loved our overnight stay. Great to have a large yard to run the legs off our dog. Not too far off the Hume Hwy (7 min) as we travel north. We will definitely stay again.

It is a lovely retreat for couples or singles with theirs pooches. Surrounded by hills. Close to town but no traffic noise. The only thing we would of liked is an outdoor covered area to watch the lighting and watch the night sky. Restful and relaxing.

Lovely quiet stay in Gundagai
One night stay in clean, quiet, peaceful tiny home. Close to town but far enough away to feel like you’re away from it all.

Travelling north we stayed with our Puppy Lulu, was great for her to meet other 4 legged friends. So good we stayed on our return back South. We will no doubt stay again. My husband loves a fire pit which was an added bonus.
