Unwind and recharge at The Summit Sanctuary at Mountain Heart Retreat by Tiny Away! Our tiny house is nestled in a 108-acre sanctuary near Tabulam, Australia, near the Mt Carrington Caldera. This retreat offers breathtaking views and peaceful mornings from its ridgeline position, overlooking the Clarence River Valley and the Border Ranges of NSW and QLD, all from our tiny holiday homes. Enjoy stunning views in the mornings and evenings, surrounded by lots of birds and birdsongs, with binoculars available for birdwatching. Koalas are also often heard and sometimes seen. #TinyHouseNSW #HolidayHomes

DETAILS

THE SPACE
Do you dream of mountain peaks? Do you measure luxury not in square feet, but in the unobstructed miles of nature laid out before you?

Welcome to The Summit Sanctuary—a tiny home experience where minimalist living meets maximum majesty.

Life is Bigger When Your Home is Tiny:

The View: Floor-to-ceiling glass captures panoramic, multi-state vistas that change with the hour. Watch the fog roll in below you like a slow-motion ocean, or thunderstorms and lightning, or the rise of the sun or full moon.

The Wildlife: Your neighbors are not noisy crowds, but silent, magnificent creatures. Wake up to eagles soaring on the thermal currents, and wild birdsongs, spot wallabies grazing at dusk, or catch a glimpse of a goanna or koalas right from your deck.

The Design: Thoughtfully crafted for comfort and efficiency, this tiny home maximizes every inch of space, providing a cozy, modern retreat that leaves a minimal footprint on the earth—and a massive impact on your soul.

This is more than a home. It's an escape route, a reset button, and a space for sensational living.

Situated between Drake and Tabulam villages in New South Wales, Australia, the tiny house is secluded on a 108-acre property near the Mt Carrington Caldera, facing the morning sun. This retreat is approximately 44 km east of Tenterfield, 250km south of Brisbane, 200km west of Byron Bay, and about 800 km north of Sydney.

Discover the breathtaking Boonoo Boonoo Falls and the granite dome of Bald Rock National Park or Yabbra National Park. Learn about history at Paddy’s Flat Tank Traps, Thunderbolt’s Hideout, and the iconic Tenterfield Saddler, or marvel at the unique Historic Cork Tree.

For an authentic local experience, visit the Drake Village Resource Centre, stop by the iconic Lunatic Hotel in Drake, enjoy wine tasting at Whiskey Gully Wines, or explore the region’s heritage at the Sir Henry Parkes School of Arts Museum, all just a short trip from our charming holiday homes. Guests can also experience the simple joy of watching or participating in the Jersey bull calf feeding.

A cozy 139-square-foot tiny home with easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, a Weber BBQ, and excellent bathroom facilities. These amenities include an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste holding tank, hand basin, and gas-heated shower.

Tiny Away began with a simple belief: less, when done well, leads to more. We build tiny houses on land worth waking up to, so you can step outside, breathe easier, and reconnect with what matters. This is a tiny house getaway close to nature, without the compromise.
