Exploring the Earning Potential of Häuslein Tiny Houses
Over the years, we’ve seen more Australians turn their love for tiny houses into a clever income stream. Whether it’s a backyard retreat, farm-stay experience, or a forest escape, running a tiny house Airbnb has proven to be not only rewarding but often surprisingly profitable.
At Häuslein, we’ve had several of our Gunyah models listed on Airbnb through our Try Before You Buy program — and the data speaks for itself. These stays consistently attract high occupancy rates and glowing reviews from guests who love the craftsmanship, warmth, and thoughtful design of a Häuslein tiny home.
Real Results from Our Gunyah Tiny Houses
Our Gunyahs on Airbnb have maintained strong year-round performance — averaging around $180 to $300 per night, depending on location, setup, and season.
For example, based on bookings and occupancy data from our Try Before You Buy homes, a 70% average occupancy rate could earn roughly $45,000–$55,000 per year.
That’s a tidy return — and considering the Gunyah’s current price point, it could realistically pay for itself within just 3 years with consistent bookings.
What About the Chipper?
If you’re after a smaller investment with the same potential, the Chipper BnB is designed precisely for short stays. Compact yet stylish, this 5m model is ideal for hosts looking to start small without sacrificing quality.
Figures are estimates only, based on current Airbnb data and typical hosting conditions. Actual results depend on location, management, and marketing.
Why It Works
Tiny houses appeal to today’s travelers seeking simplicity, sustainability, and unique experiences. With beautifully finished timber interiors, full bathrooms, and natural design elements, Häuslein homes strike a balance between luxury and simplicity that guests are happy to pay a premium for.
Just ask hosts like those at Mount Gilead or Twin Elks in Somersby, who’ve created thriving short-stay businesses using their Häuslein homes.

What’s Needed to Get Started
Setting up a tiny house Airbnb is refreshingly simple compared to traditional builds:
Land or space to park your tiny home — whether it’s on your own property or a leased location.
Basic utilities or off-grid setup — depending on your chosen site and your guests’ needs.
Local council compliance — in most areas, a tiny house on wheels doesn’t require full development approval, particularly if it’s not permanently connected to services.
Furnishings and styling — which, in our homes, is often already part of the charm.
Once it’s in place, you can start welcoming guests within weeks — not months.
A tiny house Airbnb can absolutely pay for itself — and often sooner than expected. With the right location and a quality build, your Häuslein tiny house could become both a personal retreat and a steady source of income.
