Cute little tiny house

This property is a beautiful tiny house near Taylors mistake. Need transport to get there and is a fair way from Christchurch centre. It was clean. Enough equipment for 2 people . You do need to be able to climb the ladder to get up to a comfortable bed, as described. There was no milk of tea provided and just e Tranquil environment. You do need your own transport to get there easily. Beautiful location. Helpful host.

Gorgeous tiny house

We had a lovely stay at the tiny house. The room offered dappled sunlight the whole day, perfect for reading a book and relaxing, with windows situated on all walls, allowing the sea breezes to flow through. It was a wonderfully relaxing get away for my young son and I.

The property was perched atop a hill in Scarborough. It was a tiny house ... and it was tiny, though plenty of room for two of us. The house gardens were beautiful and there were plenty of walks and drives to be had. Hamish & Ronene were lovely.

I had a great weekend by myself. The view from the Tiny House is amazing, as was the walk down the hill for an ice-cream and a walk along the beach. The house had everything I needed. It was cosy and warm, especially upstairs. Would recommend it to anyone wanting a small space to themselves. 😊

Perfect hideaway

A perfect little spot to hide away for a couple of nights and a rain storm. Has everything you need for that little bit of solitude, and owners who have everything sorted out and let you have your privacy. Perfect experience!

Tiny House in Sumner

Hamish was great at replying to questions prior to my arrival. His tiny house was lovely, it was very well set out and there was a beautiful deck to enjoy breakfast in the morning sun in a beautiful garden with chooks and great water views. It was a short walk down a track to the surf beach. I recommend this property, beautiful views and great location. Thank you.
