Tiny houses are tremendously popular in Australia. And now, with the inaccessible housing prices and high cost of renting in the country, they are becoming an even more attractive alternative. Though they are definitely not for everybody, self-contained, off-grid tiny houses on wheels are a great option for folks who crave a simpler lifestyle, more freedom of movement, and a minimal environmental footprint.
Removed Tiny Homes, a new yet highly skilled and enthusiastic player in the Australian tiny house market, has an impressive portfolio of compact dwellings that allow owners to enjoy Australia's incredible natural environment fully and successfully tackle inherent challenges. The company's young owners promise to craft Australia's most sustainable tiny homes and claim that "Removed" is not just a tiny home business but "a movement to embrace a life less cluttered, more intentional, and in harmony with nature."
The most popular model in the builder's lineup is Currumbin, a luxury tiny home that proves what living "removed" without any sacrifices is all about. With a beautiful, modern exterior that matches the grandeur of the surrounding landscapes and a well-appointed interior, this small but spacious tiny home is designed to allow owners to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and realign with nature's pace.
Built on a heavy-duty double-axle trailer, Currumbin is fully transportable and road registerable. It measures 7.2 meters (24 feet) in length, 2.4 meters (8 feet) in width, and 4.3 meters (14.1 feet) in height and is built for year-round living with a steel frame, Earthwool insulation, a durable steel roof, and Colorbond steel cladding. Moreover, all the materials used in the construction process are specifically designed and tested for the Australian environment.

This home on wheels comes with all the amenities one needs for comfortable living despite its compact footprint. It successfully marries simplicity with sustainability thanks to a practical layout, unpretentious yet stylish interior, and smart off-grid packages that allow you to disconnect in comfort.
From the moment you step inside, it's easy to notice the great care and attention that has gone into every single detail. The Aussie beauty has been expertly crafted to ensure that every inch is used to its full potential, and its well-thought-out interior includes an inviting living room, a well-equipped kitchen, a spacious bathroom, and a cozy loft bedroom with standing-height walkway. Moreover, nifty storage options are integrated in the most unexpected of places, making it perfect for full-time living.
With not one but two windows, one of which is impressively large, the living room is the most luminous area of this house. It is strategically placed near the entrance door, which lets even more natural light get in, and lets occupants admire the surrounding views and immerse themselves in the serene beauty of nature.
It has plenty of space for a comfy couch or even a fold-out bed if you need extra accommodation for guests. A coffee table and a wall-mounted TV help make this space look more like a traditional lounge in a brick-and-mortar house.

Currumbin's kitchen is designed to offer modern functionality for everyday living. It features both base and overhead cabinets with plenty of space for storing cooking essentials and is equipped with a sink, a two-burner cooktop, a dishwasher, a full-size refrigerator, and a range hood.
The kitchen is also ingeniously fitted with a tri-fold pass-through window so that it gets enough sunlight. What's more, it integrates a fold-down counter extension that adds even more meal prep space to the cooking area or can be used as a dining area. This small extension is conveniently placed right by the entrance door, allowing residents to enjoy the views each time they sit down for a meal or a snack.
Ideal for those who loathe the idea of climbing a ladder to get to bed, this compact home has a sturdy staircase that doubles as storage and offers access to the loft bedroom. Moreover, there is no crawling around either, as there is a standing-height platform that leads to the bed. A standing-height bedside closet with hanging rods and drawers will help keep everything organized and out of sight, while a large skylight ensures the space is bright and airy.
The bathroom inside Currumbin is impressively large and well-equipped for a tiny home. It boasts a clean aesthetic with abundant white and black fixtures for a design that resembles a high-end hotel. In addition to the usual vanity, shower, and toilet, it also includes ample storage cabinets and a washer/dryer combo.

As illustrated in the image gallery, the addition of a front deck greatly extends the living space to the outside and instantly transforms the Currumbin into a proper home. Besides creating a nice outdoor living space where you can relax and enjoy the surrounding nature, it is also the perfect setting for hosting parties or family gatherings.
The team at Removed strongly believes that living off-grid shouldn't require sacrifice, so they offer three off-grid packages that include solar power systems, rainwater tanks, and water filtration systems. Moreover, their homes come with the most efficient air-conditioning on the market and gas hot water system, allowing clients to live in comfort year-round.
Crafted by a builder that completely supports a more conscious and sustainable life, the Currumbin tiny house on wheels harmoniously blends simplicity with sustainability and allows folks to slow down, disconnect from the constant noise and distractions and reconnect with nature. Pricing for this particular model starts at AUD $116,990 (approx. USD $77,900).
