The setting for this tiny house makes up for any shortcomings. The views are spectacular and the surrounding country is beautiful.
However, be prepared that this really is a tiny house! There wasn't room to put a normal sized suitcase so we ferried things from the car.
Luckily, the weather is always gorgeous and sitting outside looking over the valley was incredibly relaxing.

This is a lovely Tiny House located just a short drive from Kuranda Village. Very clean and tidy and has everything you need. Hosts Biannka and Kate were friendly and welcoming. Very nice outlook over the trees and plenty of native birdlife around. Really enjoyed relaxing on the deck in the sunshine admiring the surrounds. One tip for anyone not familiar with the area is that there is not much in the way of dinner options in Kuranda, most places close up late afternoon. Burger from the fish and chip shop next to the BP was ok but there's a good pub about 30 mins drive down the road at Mareeba (the Gateway Hotel).
Lots of great walks in and around Kuranda - did the walk from the village over to Barron Falls which was absolutely beautiful (nice paved pathway the whole way). The Junrum walk was particularly nice too. Also did the walk along McDonalds track up to Glacier Rock, which had superb views and was well worth the effort (was very undulating and steep in parts, and quite muddy as had been raining) - this can be accessed from Wright's lookout which is a short drive further on from the Barron Falls carpark.
All in all a great weekend away and would highly recommend this property for a single or couple just looking to unwind and get away from the busier tourist areas. Thank you Biannka and Kate!
