Whether you’re into water sports or wildlife watching, Banyula’s holiday homes is perfect for nature lovers and outdoor adventurers alike. #TinyHouseTasmania #HolidayHomes

The Space:
Banyula Cove by Tiny Away is a charming tiny house located on North Bruny Island, Tasmania. There's nothing cozier than an island escape, far from the city's buzz. So swing by and explore one of Bruny's most snug holiday homes.

This cozy 190-square-foot tiny home features a lofted queen-sized bed and a convertible single-bed couch on the ground floor. It has easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities. These amenities include a flushed toilet, hand basin, and gas heated shower.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For your convenience, the toilet is connected to a septic system. All other waste (e.g. toilet paper, tampons, pads) must be disposed of in the garbage bins provided to prevent clogs.

Guest Access:
Guests can access the tiny home and surroundings, except "The Bungalow", shed and immediate areas are private. Please take note that guests are advised to stay on cleared areas & paths.

Pre-orders available with 24 hrs notice:

- Firewood is free for the first tub
- However, additional firewood is $14 per tub and must be paid directly to the land host.
- Because shopping for food and fuel on Bruny Island is limited, guests are advised to stock up before crossing to the Island at Kingston (Coles & Woolworths), Margate & Snug (IGA)

The Neighborhood:
“Banyula” means "place of many trees" in the Aboriginal language. Located on North Bruny Island, Tasmania (7150), it features a small beach called Banyula Cove, with Half Moon Bay forming the eastern shore of Quarantine Bay.

Bruny Island offers many attractions — brochures and maps are available in the tiny house or from your land host. Vehicle access to Banyula Cove is only via the property through the tiny house.

Local recommendations: Visit Snug Falls — a scenic year-round waterfall on the Snug River, fed by Morrison Hill tributaries.

Getting Around:
By car: Private transport or hire car (Hobart & Airport) is required both to and from Bruny and to get around the Island.

By public transport: No public transport is available on Bruny Island.

- Good mobile reception
- No unregistered guests or visitors are allowed

- No smoking allowed inside the tiny home; only in designated areas

- We would like to advise guests that longer stays or later check-outs will incur an additional charge

Tiny House Escape

Gorgeous secluded spot with a private bay, wallabies hopping past, tiny house was so cute. We cooked dinner on the campfire and shared a drink with our host. Lovely place to unwind and relax after enjoying all that Bruny Island has to offer.

Lovely situation, but we didn't know how difficult it would be to find supplies (food etc) on Bruny. Also the Tiny house: actually very comfortable, but you need to be very tidy inside. Also tiny houses are a bit challenging for an 80-ish couple!

Lost my money

As a mature-aged single woman, I was looking for small, well presented accommodation for two nights. Unfortunately, this property is owned and marketed by a “Tiny Homes” company that is clearly trying to expand its footprint and using short stay accommodation as leverage. I didn’t google “entrepreneural business models” - I clearly stated what I was looking for. My thoughts? In short - great location, and great “land host” - the person whose property the Tiny House is located on. But the property? Really really disappointing. No TV. Yes, I get that it’s about the location - but tell me this beforehand. As a solo traveller without a heads-up, I didn’t even take a book. No coffee, no basic cooking stuff - I I took food but wasnt able to cook it. The wall heater. Even with the blades directed at their lowest point, the air was directed at the loft bed. The sitting/lounge area was freezing and the loft/bed area stifling. The steep loft stairs were evident in the marketing - no problem. But take note - the mattress is on the floor and you need to crawl to bed. I can’t crawl on my knees - this was a deal-breaker for me. I have communicated with both the “land host “ and the Tiny House Owner prior to posting this feedback. The target market is a fit single/couple looking for a glamping experience. If you don’t fit this profile - consider other options.
