Tiny Three Ten
2. Tiny Three Ten
44km from Gloucester · 1 site
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.
Whether it's retreat and relaxation you seek or soul-filling action and adventure, we've ensured that Tiny Three Ten has everything you need for an unforgettable getaway. 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.

Native animals abound on the farm and a short drive brings you to the 160m high Ellenborough Falls. Spend time relaxing, exploring, rehabilitating.
Cascades Cottage is named after the beautiful Cascades that have a drop of around 10 meters, at the center of which you can cool down in a natural plunge pool or sit and listen to the water cascade down a 4-meter fall. It is an ideal space on a hot summer day to take a camp chair sit with a glass of wine and rejuvenate in absolute privacy.
A stay at Cascades Cottage can be any sort of holiday you like - a romantic getaway, a relaxing and peaceful break, or a fun and action-packed adventure exploring the farm, nearby national parks, the fall, and the rapids which is off the farm about 10 minutes away but a fun and dynamic place where you can swim and explore the natural rock pools that run from the top of a natural stream.
Native wildlife make the farm their home. Wallabies, koalas, and platypus can often be seen enjoying the surroundings. Kayak on the dam or spend time on the pier waiting for the platypus to play in the early mornings and late afternoon. A stay at the Cascades will bring you close to nature and give you a wonderful tree change for the duration of your stay.
