Cairns and the Far North Queensland region offer some of the most stunning settings for tiny home living in Australia. Tropical landscapes, rural blocks, lifestyle properties, and a council that is among the most accommodating in Queensland for tiny homes on wheels — Cairns is genuinely one of the best places in the country to go tiny.

Ruru Tiny Homes delivers premium tiny homes and secondary dwellings to Cairns and the surrounding region — from the Tablelands to the Cassowary Coast, Palm Cove to Mission Beach. Our homes are designed and built for real Australian living, using Australian-sourced materials that are selected for durability and quality in Queensland's tropical climate.

Cairns City Council has shown strong support for tiny homes on wheels on private residential properties, making permanent and long-term living arrangements more achievable here than in many other parts of Australia. We strongly recommend a conversation with council about your specific property before committing — and Daniel Huelsmeyer, our in-house expert with a Master of Laws and experience in Queensland's planning frameworks, is available to guide you through the process at no extra cost.

Our six Australian bird-named designs start from $183,000 for the Wren and extend to the four-bedroom Cassowary for families who need generous space without compromise. All homes are turn-key and delivered to your land. Delivery to Cairns is quoted based on your location — we deliver Australia-wide.

We're a family-led business with seven years of experience behind us and a genuine passion for what tiny living can do for people's lives. Reach out to Fran — she personally responds to every enquiry within one business day.
