With winter around the corner, it's country Victoria's time to shine. Leave the city (and your worries) behind for a cosy weekend amidst rolling hills and impossibly green landscapes that promise maximum relaxation and solitude. 

They’re remote and beautiful, and have little to no mobile phone coverage – and some don’t have WiFi, either! Ah, the serenity...

Sound perfect? We thought so. We’ve rounded up the best tiny cabins in Victoria to book for your next country escape.
