8 Farm Macadamia Plantation 1 by Tiny Away
Summary: Tucked high on a macadamia-covered hill, 8 Farm Macadamia Plantation 1 by Tiny Away is a getaway that is anything but small on adventure.
Roam 100 acres of wild beauty with kangaroos, bearded dragon lizards, wallabies, and echidnas as your neighbors. Fish in a hilltop lake, wander through rainforest, or crack fresh macadamias straight from the tree. With valley views and endless nature to explore, this kind of stay makes you forget the outside world even exists.

The Space: 8 Farm Macadamia Plantation 1 by Tiny Away sits in the heart of Cumbalum, just 22 minutes from Byron Bay and its famous Main Beach and Tallow Beach. This tiny house puts you in the thick of a working macadamia plantation with valley views stretching north and a plantation-scattered path leading to a hidden lake.
Just 10 minutes from Ballina Byron Airport, it’s your convenient nook near nature’s attractions—Minyon Falls roaring after rain, Whian Whian Falls carving through the forest, and the Byron Bay Lighthouse catching the first light of day.
A comfortable 139-square-foot tiny home with easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities. These amenities include an eco-friendly cassette toilet, hand basin, and shower (gas-heated for hot showers).
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're booking for a group, we also have a second tiny home, “8 Farm Macadamia Plantation 2,” available with 24 hours' notice in advance. The distance between the two tiny houses is 35 metres
Guest Access: Guests have full access to the tiny home and its immediate surroundings. They can explore the property, except for the main house and machinery shed. The chicken coop, olive grove, and vegetable garden are open for visits, but guests should avoid touching them.
The Neighborhood: A burgeoning estate in Ballina Shire, 8 Farm Macadamia Plantation 1 by Tiny Away offers a cozy stay amidst expansive macadamia orchards. Just 22 minutes from the vibrant coastal town of Byron Bay, this location provides a distinctive rural charm and coastal proximity. Cumbalum serves as a perfect refuge for those seeking a laid-back lifestyle without the crowds. The plantation's setting offers guests an authentic experience of Northern Rivers living.
Byron Bay offers some of the most beautiful natural spots in Australia. Main Beach, Wategos, and Tallow Beach are perfect for relaxing by the ocean. Just outside town, Minyon Falls in Nightcap National Park has stunning views and walking tracks through the rainforest. Whian Whian Falls is a quiet spot reached by a short walk, while Killen Falls features a swimming hole that is great for a dip or a peaceful break in nature.
The nearby parks are also worth exploring. Whian Whian State Forest is home to subtropical rainforest, making it an ideal destination for hiking and birdwatching. For sweeping ocean views, the Byron Bay Lighthouse, situated on Cape Byron, the easternmost point of mainland Australia, is a favorite spot for whale watching and sunsets.
