Tiny Homes Mackay

Mackay and the Central Queensland region offer exactly the kind of lifestyle that tiny home living was made for — space, sunshine, rural blocks, and a community that values a simpler, more intentional way of life. With property prices well below the southern capitals and large lifestyle blocks readily available, Mackay is one of the most practical and affordable places in Australia to set up a tiny home.

Ruru Tiny Homes delivers premium tiny homes and secondary dwellings to Mackay and the surrounding Central Queensland region. We're a Queensland-based builder using Australian-sourced materials, with tradespeople paid above living wage and a family at the helm who genuinely understands what makes a tiny home work for real everyday living.

Mackay Regional Council's approach to tiny homes on wheels follows Queensland's broader framework — a tiny home on wheels is classified as a caravan, requiring no building approval to construct. Placement on a property with an existing dwelling is generally straightforward. For placement on vacant land or for permanent living arrangements, a conversation with council about your specific property is the essential first step. Daniel Huelsmeyer, our in-house legal expert, can guide you through this process at no extra cost.

Our six models range from the compact single storey Wren at $183,000 to the spacious Wedgetail and four-bedroom Cassowary. Custom Bowerbird designs are available for those who want something entirely tailored to their land and lifestyle. All homes are turn-key and delivered to your property. Delivery to Mackay is quoted based on your location.

We're not a volume builder. We're a family business with seven years of experience and a genuine passion for tiny living. Reach out to Fran — she personally responds to every enquiry within one business day.
