It was rainy so I didn't get to sit on the deck and enjoy the outdoors - but can't be helped! Still a nice outlook from all the windows.

Lovely spot, hidden away and private. Cozy little house, clean and tidy, had everything I needed. Very comfortable bed, excellent shower. Nice surroundings with fields and trees, lots of bird life.

This is a beautiful location with really lovely hosts. Waking up to the sounds of birds was great. And then hearing the playful donkeys asking for breakfast later in the morning was fun too. But the accommodation was a perfect location for a quiet getaway while being close to a lot of the natural beauty attractions in the area.

The smoke detector's battery when flat @ 2AM and had to be disconnected to stop it beeping!!

A fine solution for an overnight stay, but when you say "tiny" that is exactly correct. But Tranquility was certainly tranquil and nicely located. Heating was a slight issue as we found it rather cold overnight whilst we do not like running heating systems unnecessarily when asleep.

The weather was a sad factor which no one could help. But, we couldn’t sit outside due to poring rain and getting to our suitcases which had to be stored out of the tiny house was inconvenient.

The tiny house concept is interesting. The decor was charming (especially the William Morris print bedspread) and the kitchen well stocked. It was great to pick apples and pears to eat. The owners are truly committed to the environment.

We could have done with a bit more space for comfy chairs but it wasn't an issue since we were out most of the time and not sitting around.

Peaceful setting, close to Owaka. Spotlessly clean, focus on sustainability and very comfy bed.

Getting used to a cassette toilet was a bit difficult but we managed

Beautiful setting . Listening to all the birds was amazing. Place was very clean and host was friendly and helpful

Our schedule was our only problem. With only one night, we could not explore much of the interesting nearby area. To overcome that , Gordon's advice was most helpful, and we enjoyed remarkable hikes in the Catlins rainforest.

Truly tranquil setting in nature, with hosts quietly and calmly meeting our every need and making us feel welcome. A huge rain+wind storm passed through in the night, and the tiny cabin was cozy and comfie.

We stayed there for a few nights and we have to say it is exceptional. The location, the idea behind the whole place. The house is beautifully furnished and there really is everything you need. Owaka has all the stores, restaurants and cafés you could wish for. The location is perfect for exploring the Catlins.

Beautiful, modern, cosy and comfortable tiny home in a tranquil setting. Had a wonderful stay and would actually live here! Gordon was very helpful, welcoming and informative about the area and wildlife.

Instructions on using the hotplate properly would have been useful. Grey water discharge point into drain should be a slightly further away entry. Bit unsightly for some.

Location was what was advertised. Easy to find. Modern unit.

This comfortable little house is situated in a lovely garden full of birds.

There wasn't really anything we didn't like, we were aware there would be a chemical toilet in the Tiny Home but that was maybe the only thing but it definitely beats staying in a tent!!

Lovely location, lots of birds and wildlife to watch and help destress. Hosts were lovely and were very informed about the area and wildlife. we went on the 'Give back to nature tour' with our hosts which we enjoyed very much, and an exceptional packed lunch was provided. Thank you! We were surprised how good the shower was in the Tiny Home.
