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:

If you're traveling from Brisbane via Warrego Hwy/A2, it’s a quick drive of just 1 hour and 48 minutes, with Toowoomba City only 16 minutes away. Our holiday homes in Queensland are also close to Jubilee Park, Table Top Mountain, and Picnic Point Lookout.
