Sweet Retreat by Tiny Away
Welcome to Sweet Retreat by Tiny Away! Our family has been farming in Bundaberg for 163 years, since 1870. This perfect farm stay QLD retreat offers privacy, no children, and access to a pool area, barbecue facilities, and a fire pit. Conveniently located near two of Bundaberg's most iconic tourist attractions—the Bundaberg Rum Distillery (1.5 km) and the Bundaberg Brewed Drinks Barrel Tourist Centre (2 km)—it is also just 10 minutes from Bargara Beach and 4 km from the 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 private, 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. This farm stay QLD retreat 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.
