Sweet Retreat by Tiny Away
Summary:
Welcome to Sweet Retreat by Tiny Away! Where our family has been farming in Bundaberg for 163 years since 1870. The perfect farm stay QLD retreat located near two of Bundaberg's most famous tourist attractions, the Bundaberg Rum Distillery and the Bundaberg Brewed Drinks Barrel Tourist Centre. And, just 10 minutes from Bargara Beach and 4 km from the town centre CBD.
The Space:
Sweet Retreat by Tiny Away is a charming tiny house situated in the peaceful suburbs of Bundaberg, only an hour's drive from the coastal town of Hervey Bay. Coral Cove, Burnett Heads, and Elliot Heads are just a few nearby coastal areas where you can enjoy fishing, beach walking, swimming, and even visit Moore Park Beach—a nesting site for sea turtles.
This tranquil countryside escape located on a lush paddock that offers breathtaking views of the river, a small orchard, and flourishing crops that thrive during the growing season. The property has a spacious pool area and a well-equipped barbecue grill, providing an ideal setting for both relaxation and entertainment.
A cozy 139-square-foot tiny home with easy water access, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities. The bathroom follows ecologically sustainable principles, including an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste holding tank, hand basin, and gas-heated shower.
If you plan to spend your farm stay QLD retreats here, we advise that you bring your basic necessities, such as food and water during your stay with us. Thank you.
Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the tiny house, pool area, and paddock. However, they will have restricted access to the two other houses, the shed, and barn.
We advise guests that they are not allowed in the pool area after 9 PM as it is a shared space/area of the property.
The Neighborhood:
