Hidden in Northern New South Wales, this off-grid tiny home replaces city noise with birdcalls and deadlines with wallaby sightings. Koalas nap overhead, a creek hums nearby, and your only neighbors are trees. Here, the only sounds you'll likely hear are the rustling of eucalyptus leaves in the breeze, the melodic calls of native birds, and the gentle flow of a nearby creek—making it one of the most peaceful holiday homes you can find. #CozyTinyHome #HolidayHomesNSW The Space: The Little Refuge by Tiny Away, nestled in the tiny village of Dunoon, 40 minutes away from Byron Bay and only 20 minutes from Lismore, invites you to unwind and reconnect with nature. The land rises and dips to form a natural amphitheater filled with open spaces and dense greenery. From the higher ground, treetop views stretch out, while the lower area stays cool and damp with thriving ferns and moss. Birdsong fills the air, and early mornings bring glimpses of wallabies and even koalas in nearby gums. Hidden from sight and sound, the home offers total seclusion and quiet. A private fire pit sits on level ground for peaceful evenings under the stars. A small chicken coop nearby adds charm, offering fresh eggs and the soft, steady presence of chooks throughout the day. A cozy 139-square-foot tiny home with easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities. These amenities include an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste holding tank, a hand basin, and a gas-heated shower for hot showers. Guest Access: Guests have access to our cozy tiny home and the outdoor area immediately surrounding it. You're also welcome to walk down to Little Rocky Creek, which is about 1.5km away and involves a bit of a trek. A basic map and some signage will be provided to guide you, but please note that access is at your own risk. If you plan to make the walk, please sign an indemnity form with the host before setting out.
