Tiny Three Ten is a simple, sophisticated and peaceful off-grid retreat nestled in the hills of Fosterton.
It is a place to rewind, reset, reflect and connect with nature.
Witness the mesmerising clarity of the starry night sky. Be humbled by the landscape that surrounds you. Connect with nature and escape from the pace of modern life.
Spend a night under the stars, soak in the views in the outdoor bath, or share a glass of wine around the fire.
Named after the distance from town (3km) and the acres it's nestled upon (10), Tiny Three Ten is an architecturally designed eco accommodation, built-in 2021, and thoughtfully crafted to make the most of the natural landscapes surrounding you.
Tiny Three Ten is equipped with all the amenities you need for a comfortable, luxurious getaway. Still, it also comes with that sense of simplicity that gives you the space you need to feel blissfully removed from the rush of modern life.
The minimalist design includes a queen loft bed and a separate single and is designed for a maximum of two guests. Also included is a quiet study nook.
We don't have any WiFi, but there is Telstra and Optus mobile reception, so instead of television and computers, you can enjoy beautiful sunsets on the deck or immerse yourself in the silence.

A day of outdoor activities is easy from your base - explore the Fosterton loop and have a picnic or a cool dip in Williams River at the Fosterton bridge, or pedal the 25km of trails at the Dungog Common Mountain Bike Park.
Tiny Three Ten has been created with a philosophy of conscious design and environmental sustainability - all the products within the cabin have been carefully selected based on their positive social and environmental impact.
We'd love to welcome you to experience Tiny Three Ten for yourself.

Weekend Trip to Cranky Rock Hunter Valley
Such a beautiful experience! We loved our stay here at Cranky Rock. The cabin is so unique with so many cool details, the more you look the more you find. The property is also incredible! We stayed with our dog who loved the horses and we also spotted multiple deer which I’ve never seen before so was thrilled about that. The hosts Pam and Lindsey were so welcoming and lovely, made us feel so at home. The best part, it’s dog friendly so you can bring your fur babies! We had such a great time here and thank you so much for having us 🩷

We spent one night in the Lil House. Everything was well prepared and equipped. Even wood in the firepit for the evening. We were surprised that we even had eggs, butter, bread, some vegetables, fruits, coffee, milk and many other things to prepare our own breakfast. Our dog was happy to run around unleashed and we had a great time.

We loved our stay at cranky rock and are return guests. The hosts have poured so much love into creating a space that is full of character and comfortable for their guests. My husband, myself and our dog Millie were well looked after and loved that the hosts also went the extra mile to make sure we had a enjoyable stay we loved that the extra breakfast items they included of fresh eggs etc. Thank you once again for opening cranky rock up for us to stay on our journey back to Sydney.

6 nights at Cranky Rock Hunter Valley
Cranky Rock Cottage was a delightful find! Nestled amidst stunning scenery, the cottage itself is beautifully appointed with a cozy and rustic charm. We particularly enjoyed the farm, views and hot tub. The location was perfect for exploring nearby historic towns and wineries.
Pam & Lindsay are excellent hosts, kind and helpful.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend Cranky Rock Cottage for a peaceful and memorable getaway.

Lindsay and Pam have created a unique cottage set among the fields and mountains near Wollumbi. Lindsay has used his particular knowledge of historic building techniques to create a space that takes you back to the mid nineteenth century, with pull cord electric lights and hewn logs throughout. One of the highlights for me was the abundant bird life. The native vegetation planted around the cottage brings past a host of scarlet browed finches, wrens and black cockatoos. Well worth slowing down with a cup of coffee on the veranda.
