The Space:

Aurora Lookout by Tiny Away, meaning sunrise, is named after its elevated position near the easternmost point of Australia, offering breathtaking views at sunrise. This property features two holiday homes, with "Aurora Summit" positioned at a higher elevation, boasting spectacular views of the coast, and providing the ultimate pleasure of waking up to the sunrise here.



Every morning, you can experience the breathtaking view of the sunrise and be one of the first people in Australia to witness it. A delightful retreat close to Bowraville and Macksville, both just a 10-20 minute drive away. It's also conveniently located near top attractions on the Mid-North Coast like the Urunga Boardwalk, Valla Beach, and Rotary Lookout.



If you're in the mood for a scenic drive, you can explore the beauty of Nambucca Heads with its charming river estuary, visit Scotts Head for its gorgeous beaches and great surfing, and discover South West Rocks, famous for its historic Trial Bay Gaol.



It's a 139-square-foot tiny home with easy water access, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities (e.g., an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste holding tank, hand basin, and gas-heated shower).



IMPORTANT NOTE: Please advise that there will be a second tiny house, "Aurora Summit" that sits on the same property, approximately 100 meters apart. One is lower than the other one so the cabins cannot see each other but they are only a 2-minute walk away. If you want to book in groups, please contact your land host 24 hrs in advance to make arrangements.
