About this property

Forest Hill Farm Summ

Summary:
Explore your next weekend trips at Forest Hill Farm Hampden, where vacationers can enjoy stunning views and fresh air that will make you feel at home in the small town of North Otago. The ideal tiny house NZ escape is nestled on a 9-acre land surrounded by dense woods and wide-open fields, all of which highlight the grandeur of New Zealand's landscape.

The Space:
Forest Hill Farm is located near the small town of North Otago, New Zealand. Nearby Blue Penguins Oamaru, Moeraki Tavern, and Moeraki Boulders are just a few of the attractions in the area. It's one of the best tiny house rentals where you can enjoy a comfortable 155 square-feet accommodation with easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities.

The bathroom, however, follows ecologically sustainable principles, including a cassette toilet with a removable waste-holding tank, hand basin, and shower (gas heated for hot showers) for you to use. It focuses on satisfying people's needs with natural resources and processes to save the environment.

If you plan to spend your tiny house NZ escapes, here, we advise that you bring your basic necessities such as food and water during your stay with us. Thank you!

IMPORTANT NOTE: There will be train tracks and passing car noise, which is less than 30 metres away from the SH1, which is New Zealand's busiest road. Noise-cancellation earplugs are recommended for guests.

The tiny home was perfectly fine, amenities were good, and the bunny watching from the window was very cute. However the email that arrived just prior to check-in that advised the use of earplugs to block the sound of traffic and trains…well it was good advice, but arrived a little too late. The perpetual falling of objects from the trees overhead onto the metal roof of the house all together with the train rumbling through and trucks thundering by, lead to a less than decent sleep. For the accommodation I was most looking forward to on my trip, it was the most disappointing.
