Sweet Retreat by Tiny Away

Summary:
Welcome to Sweet Retreat by Tiny Away! Our family has been farming in Bundaberg for 163 years, since 1870. This tiny house offers privacy with no children allowed. Guests can enjoy a pool area, barbecue facilities, and a fire pit.

Conveniently located near Bundaberg’s iconic attractions—the Bundaberg Rum Distillery (1.5 km) and the Bundaberg Brewed Drinks Barrel Tourist Centre (2 km)—it’s also just 10 minutes from Bargara Beach and 4 km from the CBD. #TinyHouseQueensland #HolidayHomes
