Tiny Away opens up mini Tassie getaways

By James Harrison

Tiny Away has opened the doors to its first Tasmanian tiny houses, growing its network of rural getaways.

The ‘Quirindi’ tiny house is located in the quiet fishing village of Dunalley, just 45 minutes from Hobart, and the ‘Cottesloe’ tiny house is set in the beautiful town of Hagley, not too far from Launceston.

“We are so excited to finally set our wheels in Tasmania. With fantastic scenery, beautiful beaches, a huge wilderness to explore, and delicious food and wine, Tasmania has so much to offer visitors, whether from the mainland or a Tassie local looking to explore their own backyard,” Jeff Yeo, co-founder of Tiny Away said.

These self-sufficient “compact homes on wheels” are made with sustainable materials and include waterless compost toilets, rainwater collections tanks for showers, and solar panels.

Quirindi is set on an 8-acre property in Dunalley.

Dunalley is where travellers can find some iconic Tassie fishing spots and bay-side sceneries. The area’s landmark Eaglehawk Neck is a rocky coast home to some of Australia’s highest marine cliffs, caves, and chasms.

Cottesloe sits in the small town of Hagley where travellers are surrounded by nature, scenic views, and close to art, museums, and outdoor activities.

The house is set in amongst a small farming operation and is backdropped by green pastures and plenty of farm animals.

Just 20 minutes away, the streets of Deloraine are lined with Georgian and Victorian buildings. The town’s excellent bakeries and cafes are also popular local hotspots.

Farm experiences in the area include salmon, honey, raspberries and cheese, and the flora and fauna of Tasmania’s national parks including the limestone caves of Mole Creek Karst National Park.

Tiny Away now has over 120 unique short-stay tiny house accommodation options across Australia. Its tiny architecturally designed houses are set on private land in rural and regional locations and are designed to get visitors out of the city and into the outdoors.

“Tiny Away allows guests to immerse themselves in nature while enjoying comfortable accommodation,” added Yeo.

“It’s all about leaving the worries of the daily grind behind and connecting with the natural surroundings. This new property will offer our guests exactly that, and a chance to explore more amazing regions across Australia.”
