Small but spectacular Tiny Houses within the Scenic Rim

Your proof that good things come in small packages can be found within the Scenic Rim, just an hour’s drive from both Brisbane and the Gold Coast in Queensland.

The very first tiny house to be built in the Scenic Rim, Baya at Ketchups Bank Glamping is a luxe eco-retreat, which means once you stay there for one night, you’ll want to relocate forever.

The plush queen bed in a loft gives you a front row view to shooting stars and the extraordinary skies the region is so famous for.

There’s a stylish kitchen (with gas stove and full-sized fridge) and a bathroom with rainfall shower, all lovingly appointed.

For your meals, you can have a Scenic Rim Farm Box delivered to your door, bursting with local produce to prepare in your tiny house. And, the Ketchup Bank Glamping team can provide a host of itineraries, from wine and brewery tours to farm gate trips, food tastings and cooking classes.
