We’re incredibly proud to share that Elsewhere Pods was named a finalist in the “Best Weekender” category at the 2025 Tiny House Industry Awards (THIA), for our stunning eco-stay in Peachester, Queensland. While we didn’t take home the trophy, we’re walking away with something just as valuable; recognition from industry peers and a renewed sense of purpose.
Celebrating the Night
The Tiny House Industry Awards (THIA) is more than just a ceremony. It’s a gathering of visionaries, builders, designers, and advocates who believe in a different kind of living. A community that values smart design, sustainability, and lifestyle freedom.
The night was full of laughter, celebration, and meaningful conversations. And yes — some excellent tiny house inspo too.
A Shout-Out to the Winners
Huge congratulations to Removed, who took out the top spot in the Best Weekender category. Being in the company of such innovative and thoughtful projects makes us all the more excited about the future of tiny living in Australia.
Words From the Elsewhere Team

Our Finalist Project: Peachester Eco Pod
Our finalist nomination recognised the Peachester pod, a nature-immersed stay located on lush hinterland just over an hour from Brisbane. Built with sustainability and guest experience in mind, this pod reflects what Elsewhere stands for: modular, fast-to-install, low-impact accommodation that brings people closer to nature.
Whether it's a romantic weekend escape or a quiet solo recharge, the Peachester pod is designed for slow living and deep connection. Book your weekend getaway here.
Why It Matters
Awards like these help raise the profile of tiny homes in Australia. They help more people understand what’s possible with smart, sustainable design. And they reinforce the credibility of those leading the charge.
For Elsewhere, this moment reminds us that we're building more than just pods. We’re building a movement. One that supports eco-tourism, housing diversity, and a new kind of freedom.
