Sunset Retreat by Tiny Away

Summary:
Welcome to Sunset Retreat by Tiny Away! The ultimate farm stay QLD retreat nestled in 7 acres of stunning hilltop greenery above Nanango overlooking 360-degree views of the surrounding countryside with charming rural residences at a discreet distance and vast rambling cattle ranches.

A peaceful countryside retreat where you can hear nature's sweet soundscapes, birdsong, and cattle mooing that breaks the silence.

The Space:
Sunset Retreat by Tiny Away sits in the rural locality of Glan Devon, just an hour's drive from Gympie Queensland. Nearby Bunya Mountains, Goomeri Bakery, and Nanango Markets are a few of the attractions you can visit. The ideal tiny house located in a grassy paddock surrounded by native trees, this secluded retreat offers distant views of South Nanango and the Bunya Mountains.

Starry nights at night are a sight to behold, and at dusk, a big firepit with loads of firewood available and views to admire right at your doorstep. Enjoy breathtaking sunrise views through a soft morning mist floating over the property, which burns off pretty quickly when the sun comes up.

A cozy 139-square-foot tiny home with easy access to water, a kitchenette with cooking equipment, and an excellent bathroom with a cassette toilet and removable waste holding tank, hand basin, and shower (gas-heated for hot showers) for your use.

If you plan to spend your farm stay QLD escapes here, we advise that you bring your basic necessities, such as food and water during your stay with us. Thank you!
