The Space:
Rainbow Retreat 2 by Tiny Away sits in one of Rainbow Flat's peaceful holiday homes, near Forster-Tuncurry on the Barrington Coast. The tiny house is only 5 minutes from Hallidays Point, a village known for whale watching, beautiful beaches, and a variety of outdoor activities (e.g., dolphin and whale watching, surfing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing).

Just a short drive from Hallidays Point, enjoy local beaches and grab a drink at Flow Bar in Old Bar. If you're up for a scenic drive, visit Ellenborough Falls, one of Australia's tallest waterfalls, or explore Booti Booti National Park with its stunning beaches and rainforest walks.

For even more fun, Forster Main Beach, Black Head Beach, and Tuncurry Beach are only 10-15 minutes away.

Escape to our charming getaway surrounded by lush greenery, where you can enjoy stunning views of eucalyptus trees, spend your evenings by our outdoor fireplace, or relax under the Milky Way, guided by the gentle light of Mumma Kia.
