7 of the best tiny homes in Australia on Airbnb

Waking up with the sun is arguably the best way to do it, and you’ll get it in this hill-perched home. Just 45 minutes from the top of Mt Buller, this Mansfield tiny home packs a punch as it’s split across two containers. Container one fits an open-plan bathroom and a double and bunk bed, while container two covers your living and kitchen needs (and has another fold-out bed). Lastly, it’s the perfect base for an outdoor explorer with limited resources. So go ahead and relax on the timber deck, spot native wildlife and soak in the stunning scenery.

Reasons to stay:

• 2 sleeping spaces with 3 beds
• 2 open-plan bathrooms
• Off-grid stay

Reminiscent of a sci-fi movie, this pod set on three hundred acres of coastal bushland is one dwelling that dazzles. The Eyre Peninsula’s Mulla Mulla features an interior filled with soft pink hues and a natural wood deck exterior that mirrors its environment and futuristically changes colour during the day. Lastly, as the cabin has an outdoor shower, a fully equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi and a coffee machine, you won’t feel totally alienated.

Reasons to stay:

• Open plan kitchen and Family Weber Q BBQ
• Laundry facilities
• Two bedrooms

If you’re looking for a taste of the simple life, this is the stay for you. Thanks to a 250m hike from the cabin, this tiny home is another genuine off-grid experience (with a modern twist). Once you’re in you’ll find a queen bed, a 2-burner gas stove and a mini fridge. You’ll also have access to alternative amenities like an outdoor shower, a coffee bean grinder and a collection of cassette tapes.

Reason to stay:

• Off-grid stay
• Picturesque vineyard location
• Late check-out at 11 am

Triangular and cosy, this quaint one-bedder gets straight to the point. Nestled among the wildlife in the heart of Currumbin Valley, Acute Abode is larger than your average tiny home and comes complete with an indulgent loft queen bed, a full-sized kitchen and a couch with a fold-out bed. For the outdoorsy type, a private creek with an inclusive kayak is the go. But, if you’re looking for an indoor adventure, curl up with a good book in front of the fire.

Reasons to stay:

• Neighbouring private creek
• Loft queen bed
• Roomy living space

Who said off-grid meant skimping on luxury? Not us. With sweeping Tasman Sea views, Candlebark is the ultimate mini break. Fit with a platformed bedroom, lush full-sized bathroom with zero co-amenities and a hairdryer, comfort isn’t an issue here. If you consider yourself a chef, the fully equipped kitchen and outdoor barbecue are calling. However, the pizza oven is best if you want to cook up a slice to enjoy on the deck.

Reasons to stay:

• Ziegler & Brown barbecue, and Gozney Roccbox pizza oven
• Picture frame windows with views of the nearby bush, farmland, and ocean
• Adults only escape

Give us a (tiny) home among the gum trees any day. Serenity Abode offers the ultimate bush escape planted in the middle of 6 acres of Beaconsfield Upper. Here, escape the busyness of your routine with this pared-back mini farm stay fit with rustic décor, a full kitchenette and a hot shower. Thanks to its location, you can expect to spot plenty of wildlife while you’re enjoying a cuppa on the deck.

Reasons to stay:

• Pet-friendly property
• BBQ grills and outdoor fire pit
• Eco-friendly compost toilet

While this stay requires an 800m hike from the car to the cabin, considering you’ll be where the bush meets the sea, it’s worth it. If you’re getting to KIO by ferry, this stay is just 20 minutes from the port in Penneshaw. And, if you need another draw card, with oversized windows surrounding the cabin, you can take in stunning ocean views from your luxury queen bed.

Reasons to stay:

• Late check-out
• Environmentally conscious site
• Off-grid oceanside stay
