The Space:

Ironbark Lane by Tiny Away is a secluded tiny house in the peaceful locality of Millstream, Queensland, just 50 minutes from Atherton. Surrounded by young ironbark trees and open skies, it's set on a working regenerative farm where every stay offers a unique countryside escape while helping 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.



IMPORTANT NOTE: There are two holiday homes on the property. If you’re booking for a group, we have "Ironbark Lane 1 and Ironbark Lane 2" available with 24 hours' notice.



Guest Access:

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.



The Neighborhood:

Ironbark Lane by Tiny Away is in Millstream, about 50 minutes from Atherton, surrounded by national parks, farmland, and open bushland. The region is part of Queensland’s Atherton Tablelands, known for its mix of rainforest, savannah, and volcanic landscapes.



Just a short drive away, you'll find plenty of local cafés, bakeries, pubs, and casual dining spots serving everything from hearty breakfasts and classic Australian meals to organic fare and gourmet pizzas. For everyday essentials, nearby Ravenshoe has supermarkets, a butcher, bakery, pharmacy, hardware store, banks, and locally owned gift shops.



When it's time to explore, visit Millstream Falls National Park, home to Australia's widest single-drop waterfall, or unwind in the naturally heated pools at Innot Hot Springs. Beyond that, the Atherton Tablelands offers scenic drives through rainforests, waterfalls, volcanic lakes, and lookouts, with plenty of opportunities for hiking, cycling, swimming, and wildlife spotting.



If you're visiting during festival season, don't miss local favourites like the Mt Garnet Rodeo, Mt Garnet Car Show, and the Nyx Music Festival, which bring the region to life with live music, art, food, and community events.
