23 Tiny Houses Around South East Queensland For A Cosy Getaway

This ultra-modern split level tiny house is surrounded by 40 acres of rolling hills, uninterrupted views of which you can enjoy from a free-standing tub out on a spacious wooden deck. Freed.Omspace may be small, but this cosy home offers the rare feature of not just one but TWO queen beds in an upstairs loft, so you can share the experience with a few friends.

You’ll also find a bathroom, lounge area and self-contained kitchen somehow squeezed inside, with a fire pit and barbecue outside. Bonus, it’s only 15 minutes away from Byron Bay and its foodie scene if you don’t feel like cooking. 

Dreamy cottage stay Into The Woods is one of our favourite Sunshine Coast hinterland getaways, so when we heard the owners were also adding a converted shipping container to their bushland property as well, we were of course intrigued—and immediately ready to book a stay.

Nelly is as cute as they come, featuring a double bed from where you can enjoy panoramic views (air-conditioned of course), a kitchenette and a bathroom inside, plus a patio with a Gozney and Weber barbecue for outdoor cooking. In keeping with Into The Woods, there is of course a completely private outdoor bath and firepit, so pack the marshmallows and a fluffy bathrobe. 

Surrounded by towering gum trees, this tiny house just a short drive from Maleny in South East Queensland, will give you the peace and quiet you’ve been searching for ever since that last holiday you took.

For those ready to go off the grid in style, this one’s for you. No Wi-Fi is needed when you have breathtaking views of Numinbah Valley, Beechmont Ridge, Binna Burra and beyond to keep you entertained, and especially when the sunset hits and the entire property is drenched in golden light. The hardest decision to make will be deciding which vantage point to watch it from- the deck chairs perched overlooking the mountain range or from the outdoor woodfired tub? 

It might be tiny but nothing is lacking in this fully self-contained space that manages to feature both air-conditioning and a gas fireplace. Wake up to morning coffees (yes in this case ‘off the grid’ does include a Nespresso machine) and end the day under the stars with a glass of red or white (the bar fridge is big enough for you to have options). Off the grid has never felt so appealing.
