The Space:

Ironbark Lane by Tiny Away is a secluded, family-friendly tiny house in the peaceful locality of Millstream – gateway to the Atherton Tablelands, Queensland, just 50 minutes from Atherton. Surrounded by young ironbark trees and open skies, it’s set on a working regenerative farm, where every stay offers a unique countryside escape while helping restore the land.



During your stay, watch finches dart between branches or spot owls and eagles soaring overhead. For those keen to explore, nearby attractions include Millaa Millaa Falls, Millstream Falls, Innot Hot Springs, Lake Eacham and Windy Hill Wind Farm. As evening falls, glowing sunsets, misty rain and dazzling Milky Way skies set the scene for simple fireside meals and fresh-air living.



The 139-square-foot tiny home includes water access, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities. These amenities include an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste holding tank, hand basin, and gas-heated shower.

Guests have full access to the tiny home and the surrounding outdoor area. Access from the highway is simple, leading to a fenced 15-acre property with peaceful horse trails to wander and explore.



For everyone’s safety, please stay within the fenced area and do not go beyond the locked livestock gate. Horses may wander close; feel free to pat or brush them, but please don’t feed or climb the fence.
