Summary:
Your countryside getaway awaits you at Little Oakey by Tiny Away! This farm stay QLD escape is in a class of its own, perched overlooking Little Oakey Creek in a quiet and private oasis at the base of the Toowoomba Range. The only sounds you'll hear in this serene valley are the calls of eastern whipbirds and the gentle flow of the seasonal creek.
It's hard to believe, but our holiday homes are only 10 minutes away from the bustling Toowoomba CBD.
The Space:
Relax, Recharge & Reconnect at Little Oakey 🌿
Tucked away at the base of the Toowoomba Range, Little Oakey is a fully off-grid, eco-friendly tiny home designed for those who want to switch off and soak in the beauty of the natural world, without straying too far from city comforts.
Set beside a wide, open grassy clearing (roughly the size of a small soccer field), the tiny home overlooks a tranquil seasonal creek that flows gently past. It’s the perfect place to enjoy morning coffees to the sound of laughing kookaburras, watch finches and wrens flit through the trees, or listen to the wind moving through the gums. At sunset, the clearing comes alive with golden light, making it a magical backdrop for an evening by the fire.
