Charming Tiny House Escape<br>
Welcome to The Pumphouse, our delightful tiny house getaway, where small is mighty when it comes to coziness and charm. Let us set the scene… a tranquil spring-fed dam to gaze upon, lush rainforest surrounds, and nature literally at your doorstep. Tucked away in a peaceful spot on a working farm, you’ll spot cattle, birdlife, and maybe even deer, wallabies and echidnas. An unforgettably unique farm-stay retreat for nature-lovers and relaxation-lovers alike.
The space Serene surroundings: Unplug and immerse yourself in nature's embrace, surrounded by lush greenery while listening to the sound of trickling water from the spring-fed dam. Large bedroom windows look over the dam and provide breathtaking views of your surrounds, while flooding the interior with natural light.
Thoughtful design: Every inch of this thoughtfully designed space has been optimised for comfort and functionality. Enjoy a well-equipped kitchenette, a solid night’s sleep in the queen bed decked out with luxurious linen and a goose-down duvet, and a compact yet modern bathroom.
Outdoor delights: Step outside and revel in the beauty of nature and fresh air – day or night. Unwind on the cozy deck and sip your morning coffee to a gentle chorus of birdsong. Or spend your evening stargazing, while being warmed by the smokeless fire pit. Complimentary quality coffee, hot chocolate and marshmallows.
Off-grid living: Leave the stress of the cities behind and experience sustainable living at its finest. Our tiny house is fully off-grid, powered by renewable energy sources and equipped with eco-friendly amenities.
Modern amenities: Despite its small size, our tiny house doesn't compromise on convenience. Enjoy modern amenities like gas cooking, heating/cooling, hot water, and more. We provide tea and coffee and a sample of local breakfast foods.
Nature exploration: Seeking thrills? Explore nearby hiking trails, discover hidden waterfalls, or try your hand at the local mountain biking trails. If you’re not feeling the action, simply lose yourself in the slower pace of farm life and peacefulness of the surrounding rainforest.
Working cattle farm: Indulge in views of lush pastures bordered by rainforest, rolling hills, and friendly grazing cattle right from the doorstep of your tiny house. Enjoy the calm and beauty of the countryside throughout your farm-stay. A short walk around the property to the highest ridge will reward you with stunning Glasshouse Mountain views.
Convenient location: Our hidden tiny house paradise is conveniently located within easy reach of local attractions, dining options, and shopping areas.

Secluded getaway
My husband and I spent two nights in the pumphouse. What a truly magical spot! The tiny home was super cozy and stylish, and it had a lot of thoughtful touches to make our stay enjoyable. We loved the stunning view from the property and our pooch had a great time too. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone who is looking for a peaceful stay.
