We invite you to unwind at Kenny's Rest where tranquility meets nature. Enjoy bushland views and walking tracks throughout the property, with wildlife sightings including possums, owls, cicadas, red Australian parrots, and white cockatoos. Our holiday homes are also shared with chickens and a friendly family dog, offering a relaxed, farm-stay feel in the countryside. #TinyHouseQueensland #HolidayHomes



The Space:

Kenny's Rest by Tiny Away is located in Grandchester, just an hour’s drive from Brisbane. The tiny house is nestled in peaceful bushland, with walking tracks that come alive after rain as a creek flows through the landscape. Tall, established trees offer plenty of shade, while the gardens continue to grow alongside the natural beauty of the land.



Perfectly positioned for adventure and exploration, we’re just 4 km from Spicers Hidden Vale Adventure Park, 32 km from Queensland Raceway and the Willowbank Country Music Festival, and 15 km from Lake Dyer for swimming and picnics. With the Lockyer Valley on one side and the Scenic Rim on the other, there’s no shortage of adventures nearby.



This 139-square-foot tiny home features a queen-sized bed for two adults, easy access to water, split-system air conditioning, a kitchenette with cooking equipment, and a bathroom. These amenities include an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste tank, a hand basin, and a gas-heated shower.
