Tiny Away opens six new tiny houses across Australia

 

Pirates Retreat, Eaglehawk Neck, Tasmania

Tiny Away, one of Australia's largest tiny home accommodation providers, has added six new houses across the country.

From the Hunter Valley to Noosa and the Scenic Rim, these new houses are perfect for travellers looking for a cosy getaway in some of Australia's most stunning remote and rural destinations.

"Tiny Away was born out of a desire to offer people a place to escape from the city and recharge in nature. Our houses give people a chance to disconnect and enjoy the simple things, but without sacrificing home comforts," says Jeff Yeo, co-founder of Tiny Away.

A step up from glamping, each tiny house offers hot showers, air conditioning, a cosy queen bed, and a kitchenette. The sustainably built tiny houses are typically positioned on farms or remote rural properties, and hosts offer activities that give guests a taste of rural life.

"Tiny house stays are becoming a growing tourism movement around the world – especially in Australia where low-impact tourism is increasingly valued by travellers. We want to invite visitors who share our ethos of travelling with a lighter footprint while experiencing remote regions and local communities," Yeo added.
