Tiny Freya (Hume)
Located just 10 minutes from Kingston, this tiny house is an off grid, eco experience – which means there’s no WiFi, it has a compostable toilet and sometimes power and water can stop working. But it’s all a part of its charm. Mobile connectivity does still work but the whole idea of Tiny Freya is to switch off and relax. Make the most of the mountain bike trail located next to the tiny home and enjoy getting back to nature.

Nestled among the spotted gums with sweeping views of Wallaga Lake, you’ll find Coolabah Tiny Home. While this tiny home might be a bit more of a drive, with it’s stunning location (only a five minute drive from the historical town of Central Tilba and 20 minutes to the coastal towns of Narooma and Bermagui), getting away to enjoy the best of the country and coast will be well worth it.

Bertie (Wallaroo)
A tiny escape located next to a lake, here you can canoe surrounded by birds and wildlife. Enjoy a 360-acre farm and vineyard (which you can see from the beautiful wooden deck that’s been milled by a fallen tree on the property) and take a break from the hustle and bustle of modern life. There might not be a TV or WIFI but there is a waterfall that’s only 10 minutes away.
