We’ve featured a range of pet-friendly travel adventures recently, accommodating to different holiday tastes, and now we’re adding tiny homes to that list!
Pet-friendly tiny home adventures
Tiny homes, with their blend of comfort, convenience, and closeness to nature, are leading the way in this pet-friendly revolution.
These compact, minimalist structures offer a unique blend of simplicity and luxury, making them a top choice for many travelers.
And the rise in pet-friendly tiny homes reflects a broader shift in travel trends.
Moreover, the compact nature of tiny houses means you’re never too far from your pet.

Founded in 2018, Tiny Away is one of the Australian companies offering a range of tiny houses for travelers seeking alternative and unique accommodation experiences.
Not only does their network include a range of comfy, eco-friendly tiny houses, they also offer pet-friendly accommodation.
“Pet owners often struggle to find suitable accommodation that allows their furry friends, and we want to make sure that people who love travelling with their pets are catered for,” says Jeff Yeo, co-founder of Tiny Away.
“Our tiny houses are located in stunning, isolated spots – as well as farms and rural properties, so there is always plenty of space for our canine guests to roam and enjoy the outdoors just as much as their owners.”
A big benefit of their tiny size, is the ability for tiny houses to be placed in many locations that regular-sized accommodation can’t fit in.
“What’s more, our pet-friendly tiny house stays are often located near wineries, hiking trails, and other attractions that cater to both humans and their pets.”
“We know that owning pets is good for your mental and physical health, and we want to ensure that having the ability to bring them on a weekend away will enhance people’s travel experience and help encourage our guests, even more, to get out and explore the natural surrounds of our tiny house stays.”
Top reasons to choose a pet-friendly tiny home for your next adventure
Intimate and cozy setting
Unlike vast holiday homes or impersonal hotel rooms, tiny houses offer a warm, intimate setting.
This closeness ensures that your pet remains within your sight, reducing the chances of them feeling anxious in a new environment.
Outdoor access
Most tiny houses are strategically located amidst nature.
Whether it’s by the beach, in the woods, or on a serene countryside, this provides pets with ample outdoor space to explore, play, and get their daily dose of exercise.
Customised pet amenities
Recognising the growing demand, many tiny house owners are going the extra mile.
From built-in pet beds to secure outdoor play areas and even pet-friendly welcome packs, these homes are designed keeping in mind the needs of our four-legged companions.
Cost-effective
Taking your pet on holiday often means additional expenses – pet deposits, extra cleaning fees, or even charges for pet-sitting services.
With pet-friendly tiny houses, these costs are often reduced or entirely eliminated, making your trip more budget-friendly.
Community experience
Many tiny house settlements foster a sense of community.
This can be a great way for both you and your pet to socialise. Your furry friend might just find a playmate in the tiny house next door!
Environmentally friendly
Tiny houses are often built with sustainability in mind.
By choosing such accommodations, you’re not just ensuring a great holiday for your pet but also doing your bit for the planet.
Tiny Away’s pet-friendly tiny homes
A step up from glamping, each tiny house offers hot showers, air conditioning, a cozy queen bed, and a kitchenette.
The sustainably-built tiny houses are typically positioned on farms or remote rural properties, with plenty of outdoor space for you and your pup to roam and explore.
