The Sunshine Coast has become one of Australia's most desirable places to live — and one of the hardest to afford. With lifestyle blocks, rural properties, and hinterland retreats all within reach of the coast, it's also one of the best places in the country for tiny home living.

Ruru Tiny Homes is a Queensland-based builder delivering premium tiny homes and secondary dwellings across the Sunshine Coast region. From Noosa to Caloundra, Maleny to the Blackall Range, we build homes that suit the Sunshine Coast lifestyle — warm, light-filled, beautifully finished, and built to last.

Sunshine Coast Council currently allows tiny home occupancy for up to four weeks per calendar year without permits — with suitable sanitation facilities, this can extend to six months out of twelve. For permanent living arrangements, a conversation with council about your specific property is essential. Daniel Huelsmeyer, our in-house expert with a Master of Laws, can help you understand exactly what's possible on your land before you commit to anything.

We build in Queensland using Australian-sourced materials, by tradespeople paid above living wage. Our six models start from $183,000 for the Wren through to custom designs via our Bowerbird service. All homes are turn-key and delivered to your property. Delivery to the Sunshine Coast is quoted based on your specific location.

We're exhibiting at the Australian Tiny Home Expo on the Sunshine Coast in June 2026 — come and see our team in person, walk through our designs, and have a genuine conversation about what tiny living could look like for you.
