The Space:

Just 50 minutes from Atherton in the locality of Millstream, Ironbark Lane by Tiny Away is surrounded by young ironbark trees and open skies. Guests get into the experience of a working regenerative farm where every stay helps restore the land.



Watch finches dart between branches or spot owls and eagles on the hunt. Nearby, explore Millaa Millaa Falls, Millstream Falls, Innot Hot Springs, Lake Eacham, and Windy Hill Wind Farm. Evenings bring glowing sunsets, misty rains, or a dazzling Milky Way sky, each one setting 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 gear, and a private bathroom with a gas-heated shower, hand basin, and eco-friendly cassette toilet.

Guests have full access to the tiny house 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.



Enjoy photographing the wildlife that shares the land, but avoid touching or feeding them. To protect the local ecosystem, dogs are not permitted on the property.
