Rosewood Mac by Tiny Away

Summary:
Rosewood Mac is a unique farm stay with an equestrian focus in the historic goldrush township of Macclesfield. Home to about 10 horses and donkeys, local wildlife includes kangaroos, koalas, kookaburras, cockatoos and more. The property is next to the Kidman Trail, 10 mins to Kuitpo Forest and historic Strathalbyn. It is also close to the Fleurieu Peninsula and McLaren Vale wine district. Enjoy views of gum studded hills with grazing horses and kangaroos, and unwind under the shade of gum trees.

The Space:
Rosewood Mac sits in the small township of Macclesfield, just 43 minutes drive away from the nearest Adelaide accommodation. Nearby Strathalbyn, Mount Barker, Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary, and Hahndorf. Comida Hahndorf and Hahndorf Hill Winery are some of the few attractions in the Hahndorf area.

This farm stay South Australia getaway is the perfect family staycation for vacationers with a queen-sized bed up in the loft and a couch, which can be converted into a single bed on the ground floor. A cozy 190-square-foot tiny house with rain water as a water source, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities including a cassette toilet with a removable waste-holding tank, hand basin, and shower (gas heated for hot showers) for you to use. Thank you!
