The 6 best tiny homes near Canberra for a weekend getaway

Places in and around Canberra have jumped on the bandwagon of sustainable, stylish, and trendy tiny homes, and I’m unashamedly obsessed with the unique and eco-friendly getaway locations.

You can immerse yourself in the beautiful environment around the ACT, all from the comfort of your tiny home.

Enjoy all the luxuries of glamping – including hot showers, a comfy bed, and air conditioning – without missing out on the surrounding nature experiences.  

Tiny homes are made and constructed out of sustainable materials and include a host of eco-friendly features that are just the cherry on top.

Loved the stay at the Mini-G for two nights. The Mini-G is well kitted out and it’s a great way to experience a tiny house in a nice setting surrounded by new display homes. It was very quiet and private during our stay. It really has everything you need and the verandah is a lovely place to dine outside under the awning.

The Clearing

Nestled on a wonderous 100 acres of private land at Bungonia Creek, The Clearing is surrounded by a five-acre vineyard, permaculture gardens, cows and sheep, and an abundance of native wildlife including kangaroos and wombats. With views over the dam and valley, this comfortable and snug tiny home is a one-of-a-kind place to spend a memorable weekend. Oh, and it’s situated on an extinct volcano site, and in one of the paddocks lies the ruins of the old “Hit or Miss Inn” from 1832!

This tiny house is a delight!

We had the best time, and an absolute bonus was how comfy the bed is! We weren’t expecting such a superb quality of sleep, but mattress and pillows were perfect for us!

The house has everything you need. We bought some salt and pepper with us and the tiny house had some! as well as some olive oil, vinegar, toaster, hot plate, bbq etc

The shower was super nice and hot, and you get to see how many litres you are using, which helps monitor very well water consumption.

The place is super quiet and very close to national park making it a perfect destination for a quiet (safe) weekend away.

Highly recommended

Very small detail the house didn’t have forks (only knives and chopsticks) so bring some or contact the house beforehand to provide some ?
