Sabai Retreat by Tiny Away
Summary:
Welcome to Sabai Retreat! The ideal tiny house Queensland getaway tucked away in a World Heritage rainforest, approximately 80km south of Cairns, 30km north of Innisfail, and just 5km from Bramston Beach, a popular fishing spot. Escape the mundane and soak in nature's tranquility.
Spot local Cassowaries, echidnas, wallabies, and abundant birdlife. Enjoy serene rainforest walks and beautiful gardens, immersing yourself in a peaceful oasis where relaxation and exploration blend perfectly.
The Space:
Sabai Retreat is a serene getaway located in Bramston Beach, which is just an hour's drive away from Cairns, famously known as the gateway to Australia's Great Barrier Reef. The tiny house is nestled on 66 acres of tropical rainforest in an open lawned area surrounded by Mangosteen and Malaysian Dwarf Coconut trees amidst beautiful forest and tropical garden areas.
Discover easy access to rainforest walks and proximity to the Four Winds Garden Retreat, all within reach of popular local attractions such as Josephine Falls, Babinda Boulders, Eubenangee Swamp National Park and Bartle Frere trail to
Broken Nose, Bramston Beach, Etty Bay, Paronella Park and the Franklin Islands. It's an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
A cozy 139-square-foot tiny home with easy water access, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities. These amenities include an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste holding tank, hand basin, and gas-heated shower.
If you plan to spend your tiny house Queensland getaway here, we advise that you bring your basic necessities, such as food and water during your stay with us. Thank you.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please advise that this tiny house runs entirely on solar energy, and we highly recommend guests save energy to prevent power outages or blackouts.

Guests will have access to the tiny house, gardens, and forest walks. There are, however, restricted areas surrounding the house. In addition, we have a parking area near the tiny house for guests to use.
