Luke the host was very accommodating and helpful. The tiny house seemed small at first but then ended up being the perfect size as I spend ALL day outside on the lounge near the river, or tending to the fire in the firepit, or walking around the property saying hello to the animals and gathering firewood. Peace and serenity describe my experience the best. It felt like camping in the Aust bush but with the security of not being in an area that anyone can just walk into. Absolutely recommend.

Stayz & Tiny Away less than helpful when we had to evacuate due to overflowing toilet. Advertised as compost toilet but supplied with caravan toilet that you had to flush with cups of water from the sink. Canister obviously not emptied prior to our visit. You need a 4WD to get up driveway due to unstable rubble surface. We needed to find alternative accommodation at 11pm at night unable to contact Host or Stayz for assistance. Will never use them again. Still waiting for a refund as we were unable to stay due to putrid smell bugs and non working toilet.

Great little Tiny home on the river, only issue was the rain and with no grass outside it was hard to keep the place clean.
