We live in a forest truck house! As full-time office workers in the city, during this long holiday we chose a one-click escape. For this 3 days 2 nights staycation, we lived in a truck-converted tiny house. Surrounded by forest, we found privacy and peace.
A hidden 3-day getaway in a converted truck house in Healesville surrounded by forest, nature walks, and Yarra Valley wineries for a slow, peaceful reset from city life.

It felt like pressing a “reset button” on daily life. No check-in tourist spots, no rushing itinerary, just giving myself a chance to step away from the city. Here, I was no longer the office worker busy replying to emails and staring at screens, but just an ordinary person in the forest watching sunlight pass through leaves and breathing slowly.
