tiny houses
Myall River Camp’s charming Tiny Houses are the perfect place to connect with nature and someone special.
Holiday sustainably and comfortably in one of our two off-grid Tiny Houses, nestled in a secluded bushland setting within the Campground.
Unplug, unwind and enjoy the tranquility of the bush and river.
experience a tiny holiday
Small, but mighty, our Tiny Houses are less than 2 metres wide, and filled with all the comfort you could possibly need in nature. Solar-powered, our tinies have been sustainably constructed using recycled corrugated iron, reclaimed windows, and scrap timber. They have cosy beds, quality linen, and an ensuite bathroom, including a hot shower and botanical toiletries.
– REVIEWS FOR OUR TINY HOUSES –
Both styles of accommodation are very well appointed in luxurious ‘glamping’ style. The indoor or outdoor cooking facilities, hot showers, warm beds … To sit and watch the river change during the day and by the fire side at night was so spectacular … the best meal we had during our stay was the fresh flathead and bream caught straight from the river and onto the BBQ.”
unique as nature itself
Each Tiny House is individually furnished and decorated. Pre-loved suitcases store glassware, and spoons have been repurposed into kitchen handles.
Outdoor furniture, crafted locally from recycled timber, allows guests to experience the sights and sounds of the bush. Outdoor fire pits are perfect for toasting marshmallows.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: TINY HOUSES
Check-in: from 3pm
Check-out: before 11am.
Yes. Bring your own food to cook on the BBQ, 2 burner cooktop or fire pit. A small fridge/freezer has been provided. There are indoor and outdoor dining settings.
We supply salt, pepper, olive oil, tea/coffee/ UHT milk/sugar/biscuits, and drinking water to get you started.
We recommend shopping locally in our nearby townships of Hawks Nest and Tea Gardens. Less than a 10-minute drive, both have supermarkets, bakeries, and other food outlets with a great range of products.
The Tea Gardens Fish Coop is not to be missed for fresh seasonal seafood. If you feel like a break from cooking, nearby dining options abound from waterfront restaurants, cafes, and takeaways to pubs and clubs. Go to Experiences: The Food to see more.
We have two tiny houses nestled in a corner of the campground embraced by trees. They are available for adults only. No more than two guests are permitted to use each tiny house and its facilities. The pair are off-grid with solar power and composting toilets and cannot support more than two guests.
Two couples or sets of friends may choose to hire the tiny homes at the same time.
Additional tents, caravans, or camper vans are not permitted in the Tiny House precinct.
Parties are prohibited.
Please note the noise curfew of 10pm for the entire campground as noise travels in the bush.
Anyone visiting a tiny house guest for the day from outside the campground must check-in at the office to complete Covid-19 documentation and obtain a boom-gate pass.
We’re located riverside with our own sandy beach and stunning ocean beaches a short drive away. So swimmers, suncream and hat are a must.
Pack your walking shoes with the National Park and other great walks close-by.
Remember you are holidaying in nature so don’t forget to pack something warm particularly for nights, regardless of the season.
Your camera to snap the beauty of nature (and your co-adventurer/s)
Binoculars for wildlife and bird spotting.
We provide personal insect repellent and mosquito coils. But if you have a preference for repellent, please bring your own.
Remember: Don’t feed or approach wildlife or leave food out. We are holidaying in their habitat.
Yes, fires are permitted in the fire pits provided, and we provide a bag of firewood for each stay. More firewood bags are available to purchase at reception.
NOTE: Fires can only be lit in accordance with local fire regulations. If in doubt, ask our staff or check the RFS website for fire bans. Fires cannot be lit when windy due to the increased risks. It is also your responsibility to extinguish a fire before leaving it.
Myall River Camp has a designated swimming area in front of the sandy beach.
The Myall River is often the colour of dark tea due to the tea tree oils dropped in upstream. This is reputed to be good for skin and hair care.
When taking a dip, guests are cautioned to consider the current and tides and their own swimming ability.
We are an off-grid campground and our tiny houses are powered by the sun and gas bottles.
We have no WIFI. The mobile phone reception in the tiny homes area can be patchy, particularly in peak holiday times.
A USB charging port is supplied in the tinies for mobile phone charging (as we suspect you’ll want to take a pic or two).
Our tiny homes are a great place to disconnect from everyday devices so connect with nature instead.
Our tiny homes have insulation and are designed for guests to be as comfortable as possible in all weather conditions. Our decks are undercover with BBQ and furniture.
Summer
We take advantage of the breezes, by opening windows to ensure cross ventilation. We also provide a low voltage fan. Remember, the river is also close by.
Winter
Each tiny house has blankets, rugs and hot water bottles (heaters to come). The outdoor fire pit is a favourite winter activity.
If you are particularly sensitive to hot or cold weather, please book according to the seasons. We do not provide refunds due to adverse or inclement weather or other circumstances beyond our control.
If the sounds of the bush and river aren’t enough, you are welcome to bring your own small portable music device. Please always consider others and remember the noise curfew for the entire Campground is 10pm.
As part of our operating permit, pets are not permitted. If you are traveling with a pet, please contact the office on 0409 836 828 for a list of local pet minding services.
Yes – the local area is packed with activities from bushwalking and 4WDing to relaxing on internationally acclaimed beaches. Go to Experiences to see more or visit Barrington Coast to see what’s on in the region.
We can happily answer any other questions you have through our contact us page.

a tiny tale
Myall River Camp’s Tiny Houses aim to inspire sustainable holidays.
The Tiny Houses were constructed by the environmental not-for-profit, Bower Reuse and Repair Centre in Sydney.
They are affectionately named after the native Cockatoos and Bowerbirds that frequent the area, while one aptly shares the name of the organisation that built them.
They were constructed atop a trailer, driven to Hawks Nest, parked in our bushland setting and completed on-site.
The off-grid pair are testament to the fact that every ‘tiny’ step we take today, by recycling and saving energy, can make a big impact tomorrow.
