Something Different is a large machinery shed that has been converted into a comfortable holiday house with three bedrooms and one bathroom (extra toilet outside) and huge living spaces. You can really kick back here and relax! The walls and ceilings have been extensively insulated. There is a wood heater in the kitchen and another one in the main part of the Shed so it can be kept nice and cosy despite its size! You can drive your car/van inside the shed if you wish or park it under any of the many surrounding trees. The Shed sleeps 10 in total (base price covers all 10), with 1 queen and 1 single bed in one room, 1 dbl bed and 2 single beds in another room, and 1 queen bed and 1 single bed in a third room. All linen, towels, etc. are provided. If you have more people, they are welcome to pitch a tent or park their caravan on the grounds around the shed. For a large group (say 10 plus) we charge an extra $20 (total) to cover the extra power you will need. There's a chook yard/dog yard with 2 kennels outside but you're welcome to have your dog (not chooks) inside the Shed. 14km from Donnybrook 37km from CollieSomething Different is a large machinery shed that has been converted into a comfortable holiday house with three bedrooms and one bathroom (extra toilet outside) and huge living spaces.

The Shed is separated from our house by a dam and many trees so you have your own private space.

Can cater a larger group

Ran a Bux party here with 15 lads. We were respectful of the land but could play music loud, play some wide games in the damn and chill as a large crowd without feeling like the living space was small. Parking cars wasn't an issue for the group and could set up tents as well. I took up several large pans because I wanted to cook mass food for the group quickly but I don't think that's a short coming of the host, there is decent kitchen gear available for usual guests. This facility is awesome for a large family or even multiple families that wanted to have a fun getaway. Thanks so much for a great stay Vivien!

Weekend Getaway

We loved the Something Differeht Shed. It was exactly what it said. We loved the whole set-up, from the relaxed atmosphere of the shed to the peace and quiet of the location. Would be even better in the slightly warmer months so we could use the kayaks and boards on the dam but the indoor wood fires and camp fire outside kept us nice and warm. We will be back. Thank you Vivien we loved our weekend.

Great big shed with indoor fire to keep us out of the weather when it came in. Lucky we didn’t need it too much so the big fire pit out front was where it was at. Paddock we camped in was pretty well fenced to keep the dogs in except for the gap under the front gate which fronted a fairly busy road. Lots of games for the kids. Felt like I was back in the 80s. Clean warm beds. Vivienne was quite quick to respond to queries. Thanks for a great stay. We all had a great time.

Great host thank you Vivien! Best place for getting away into quiet and nature, but to still have access to the basic amenities.

Boys trip, Family trip, group stay

great open space to roll out tents or swags, plus the shed has a full service kitchen. we had a fantastic stay, caretaker was friendly and helpful. the farm kelpie will come and kick the footy with you, when he isnt herding the sheep (which he's probably not supposed to be doing). A wonderful spot for a weekend getaway with mates, or a longert stay with a few families that dont need everything to be the waldorf astoria.

Perfect way to "camp" - open space, chilly nights, campfire, good company, plus all the facilities you need, and none of the carting of gear and grubby pack up! We had blast and will definitely book again. Thanks Vivien! P.S. A couple of girls in our party nearly "accidentally" packed Alfie 😉
