Summary:
Experience our charming tiny house Queensland retreat, nestled amidst serene hills. Located just 30 minutes from Toowoomba and a brief 7-minute drive from Gatton, our sanctuary is embraced by lush nature and boasts two tranquil dams.

The Space:
Bethesda Farmstead by Tiny Away is located in the peaceful countryside of Placid Hills, just 30 minutes from the city of Toowoomba. Toowoomba, also known as the "Garden City," is renowned for its numerous parks, gardens, and floral displays, which are the hallmark of the city's beauty and charm.
This charming retreat sits in a serene setting surrounded by towering gum trees, with a view of calm waters. It offers plenty of outdoor space and a fire pit for relaxation and enjoyment. And even find exciting attractions nearby, such as Table Top for great hikes, Laurel Bank Park for scenic walks, and Mount Lofty for stunning views.
A cozy 139-square-foot tiny home with easy access to water, 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 shower (gas-heated for hot showers).
