Summary:
Stay at JJJ's Ranch Farm 1 by Tiny Away, a charming tiny house settled on 25 acres between Bundaberg and Gin Gin.

The Space:
JJJ’s Ranch Farm 1 by Tiny Away plants you in South Kolan, just a 22-minute drive from Bundaberg—and right next to goats, mango trees, and a dam that catches the morning light just right. Two tiny homes sit side by side behind the shed, made for families or small groups to swap stories by the fire pit or watch curious animals roam by. You're close to Bundaberg Rum Factory, Mon Repos Turtle Centre, Botanic Gardens, Alexandra Park Zoo, and the salty breeze of Burnett Heads.
