Please note that the two(2) tiny homes are quite close together (as presented in the aerial picture) within 5-6metres of each other. So if you want a tiny home stay in the middle of nowhere with lots of privacy this is NOT the place for you.

As an added note, we have a farmhouse situated in the area 50 meters away from tiny homes but is mostly obscured by the front yard with garden trees and bushes. The area is surrounded by bushland and offers a peaceful and quiet location and free BBQ area adjacent to tiny homes with free Webber baby BBQ and fire pits (when there are no fire bans in place) and comfy seating.
