The farm stay sits beneath a large ornamental fig tree, providing cool shade and comfort through the warmer months of the subtropical climate.
Nearby attractions include Chinamans Beach, Deepwater National Park, Turkey Beach, Rules Beach, and the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens.
This cozy 139-square-foot tiny home features easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities.

Our property is a small working farm, and you're welcome to explore. Please chat with us first before walking around, as there are roaming animals and cattle that can kick.
