The Space:

Alpaca Paddock by Tiny Away is a charming tiny house set within an open paddock at Quentin Park Alpacas & Studio Gallery in the town of Peterborough, placing you right in the heart of a working farm. Here, alpacas wander past, the seasons shift the colour of the land, and wide skies stretch in every direction—creating one of the most relaxing holiday homes experiences in the region.



Our tiny homes have plenty of space for kids to roam and dogs to explore, it’s perfect for gathering around the outdoor table. Located near Peterborough Print Works, Greg Duggan Nature Reserve, and Magnetic Hill Drive—and just 1 hour 30 minutes from Port Pirie—the setting offers peaceful seclusion, true dark skies for stargazing, and a chance to experience nature at its most raw and beautiful.



Enjoy the quiet, watch wildlife and farm life unfold, and take in the scale and stillness that make regional Australia so unique. This 139-square-foot tiny home offers easy access to water, split-system air conditioning, a kitchenette with cooking equipment, and well-appointed bathroom facilities. Amenities include an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste tank, a hand basin, and a gas-heated shower.



Guest Access:

Guests are welcome to enjoy the tiny house and its immediate surroundings, as well as designated areas of our working alpaca farm, including the farm trail, gardens, farm shop, and café during opening hours.



For safety and animal welfare, some areas are restricted, including private residences, operational farm zones, and other paddocks. Clear signage is provided, and we’re always happy to guide guests on where they can explore.



We ask guests to respect gates, fences, animals, and other people, and to leave areas as they find them so everyone — human and animal — can enjoy the space.
