Tiny Home With A View (Watch)
I stayed in a tiny home with a million dollar view you have to see it.
I recently became obsessed with tiny homes. I have been staying in as many tiny homes as I can in order to gather much needed data. I want to live in one.
I currently live alone in a 2 bed, 2 bath appartments in Teneriffe, Brisbane. It’s a gorgeous space but after spending time in random tiny homes that are surrounded by nature I discovered I love it way too much and I need my own.
The 5 year plan is to buy land and get all the permits required to build and live in my own home. Likely spending 6 months in a remote location living off grid and the 6 months living in the heart of Brisbane.
I decided to spend two nights in this gorgeous tiny home in Withcott which is at the base of the mountains just outside Toowoomba, about 15 minutes from Toowoomba city.
This place was in a multi million dollar location. On top of a hill with 360 degree views of the most stunning landscape.
It was a pre-designed home and was on a property of its owners who had a big house and a working farm. It was more a holiday vibe than a place you’d live. I spent the best two nights here.
I booked on Airbnb and have noticed over the last few weeks there are so many tiny homes listed for rent. My dream of experiencing so many different designs and picking my favourite bits has been easy. I have 6 tiny home stays planned in the Sunshine Coast!
My take aways from this place are:
The location is so important. I have realised that I don’t want to see a single soul. Not a dwelling in sight. Maybe off in the vast distance but I don’t want to be near anyone. Basically I wanna walk around nude without traumatising anyone. This home absolutely allowed for this. It had a huge deck that you could sit on and take in the view as well as beautiful gardens. This is what I want. However the work involved in upkeep seemed huge, but also rewarding.
A bifold canteen window. This was a little bit of a luxury that I didn’t think I’d like. It allowed me to open up the little dining area and take in the fresh air.
Windows and lots of them. I have stayed at a few but this was the first one with so many windows everywhere. I live in the dark usually so stepping into the light was also something I was surprised I enjoyed. It meant waking up to the sun was easy and going to bed early when it was dark. I didn’t need to watch the clock at all.
They didn’t have sky lights. I missed being able to open nice big sky lights. One tiny home I stayed in, in NZ had huge ones on the roof with automatic shutters. I really loved this feature.
If you want to book a stay here you can do so on AIRBNB. I stayed in mid September during the Carnival of Flowers for $225 per night.
