Tiny Three Ten

57km from Boat Harbour · 1 site · Lodging
Tiny Three Ten is a simple, sophisticated and peaceful off-grid retreat nestled in the hills of Fosterton.
It is a place to rewind, reset, reflect and connect with nature.
Witness the mesmerising clarity of the starry night sky. Be humbled by the landscape that surrounds you. Connect with nature and escape from the pace of modern life.
Spend a night under the stars, soak in the views in the outdoor bath, or share a glass of wine around the fire.
Named after the distance from town (3km) and the acres it's nestled upon (10), Tiny Three Ten is an architecturally designed eco accommodation, built-in 2021, and thoughtfully crafted to make the most of the natural landscapes surrounding you.
Tiny Three Ten is equipped with all the amenities you need for a comfortable, luxurious getaway. Still, it also comes with that sense of simplicity that gives you the space you need to feel blissfully removed from the rush of modern life.
The minimalist design includes a queen loft bed and a separate single and is designed for a maximum of two guests. Also included is a quiet study nook.
We don't have any WiFi, but there is Telstra and Optus mobile reception, so instead of television and computers, you can enjoy beautiful sunsets on the deck or immerse yourself in the silence.
Whether it's retreat and relaxation you seek or soul-filling action and adventure, we've ensured that Tiny Three Ten has everything you need for an unforgettable getaway. A day of outdoor activities is easy from your base - explore the Fosterton loop and have a picnic or a cool dip in Williams River at the Fosterton bridge, or pedal the 25km of trails at the Dungog Common Mountain Bike Park.
Tiny Three Ten has been created with a philosophy of conscious design and environmental sustainability - all the products within the cabin have been carefully selected based on their positive social and environmental impact.
We'd love to welcome you to experience Tiny Three Ten for yourself.

Weekend Trip to Arbaro Tiny Homes
Kit and Carol were lovely hosts. They gave my wife and I plenty of privacy during our Easter weekend stay but were there to greet us and run us through everything this beautiful beautiful property has to offer. Will be recommending it to friends and family passing through the area and will be sure to come and stay again ourselves! Thank you guys, it was just the kind of getaway we were hoping for!

The best tiny homes near Boat Harbour guide
Where to go
Great Lakes
North of Boat Harbour, the Myall, Smiths, and Wallis Lakes make up the Great Lakes region, surrounded by golden beaches and lush rainforest. Camp at coastal towns such as Forster, Bulahdelah, and Pacific Palms; cruise around the Myall Lakes National Park in a houseboat or kayak; or hike through the rainforest in the Booti Booti National Park.
Central Coast
To the south, the Central Coast of NSW runs from Newcastle all the way to Sydney. Wildlife watching opportunities abound—spot migrating whales from Shelly Beach or pelicans around the lakes and lagoons of The Entrance. On route to Sydney, the beaches and waterways of the Brisbane Water National Park and Bouddi National Park are ideal for camping, cruising, and bird-watching.
Greater Blue Mountains
Inland from Boat Harbour, the Yengo and Wollemi National Parks are part of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage area. Hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding are popular ways to explore, or you can venture off-road in a 4WD. Camping here is all about getting back to nature, with backcountry campsites reachable only on foot or by 4WD.
When to go
NSW’s balmy summers (December through February) are the most popular time for swimming and water sports along the coast of Boat Harbour. Temperatures are mild year-round and rarely drop below 10°C, even on winter evenings, so it’s possible to camp at any time. Visit between May and August to spot humpback whales on their annual migration.
Know before you go
- Buses run to Boat Harbour from Newcastle, but to explore the coast and national parks, you’ll need your own vehicle.
- There are no shops in Boat Harbour—the closest supermarket is in Salamander Bay, a 10-minute drive away.
- Fire bans are common in New South Wales during summer and dry periods, so check local recommendations before lighting your campfire.
- A permit is required to camp within NSW’s national parks, and campsites must be booked in advance.
