Echidna by Tiny Away

Summary:
Welcome to Echidna by Tiny Away! An ideal natural hideaway with wide-open spaces, natural wildlife displays, and only a short walk to the Andromache River for fishing and swimming. Where you can fully experience the slow laid-back atmosphere of taking lazy afternoon naps and relaxing by the campfire while telling stories about all peaceful country living has to offer.

An easy-access location on the banks of Andromache River, including nearby towns such as Airlie Beach, Bowen, and Collinsville.

The Space:
Echidna by Tiny Away is located in Whitsunday Region Queensland, close to Airlie Beach Lagoon, Great Barrier Reef diving tours and Cedar Creek Falls Walk. A cozy 190-square-foot farm stay with a queen-sized bed up in the loft and a couch, which can be converted into a single bed on the ground floor. It has easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities.

The bathroom, however, follows ecologically sustainable principles, including an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste-holding tank, hand basin, and shower (gas heated for hot showers) for you to use. It focuses on satisfying people's needs with natural resources and processes to save the environment.
