Pam and Nev are awesome. Wonderful people.The tiny home is right on the edge of the lake. Amazing location.There were white tail spiders and Gisborne cockroaches inside which creeped me out.But overall stay was pretty awesome.

We stayed for long weekend the property was cozy and had everything you need for break away. The lake beach is at your door step with awesome views. Our hosts were friendly and helpful and lent us kayaks to use on the lake that was a high light of trip. The location is beautiful. We would definitely stay again.

We had a very peaceful two-night stay at this tiny house property. Pam was a host to meet, the property is alongside the family home but you have your privacy. Lake Rotoiti is just across the road. Yes it is tiny, so best to be prepared for that experience: but as a couple we had no problems fitting in, it’s very well designed. Fantastic water pressure and hot water at the end of long days out and about (always a personal favourite for us!)

The tiny house was a perfect get away for us.We had a lovely sunset view over the lake when we arrived which was framed beautifully by the mezzanine floor round window. The bedroom half of the mezzanine floor was cozy and warm with a nice small staircase leading up to it. The other side was accessed via a pull out ladder. The kitchen / lounge area was ample space for two and we had everything we needed to be able to self cater / make meals. The advantage of the tiny house is on the cooler nights it was easy to warm up with the heater provided. The bathroom was well set out and the shower had excellent pressure. Pam & Nev were lovely hosts checking in with us as we arrived and as we were on our way out they even accommodated an extra night stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at the tiny home -it is charming with many homemade touches.House was clean & warm, and shower was good.It is in beautiful surroundings close to the beach.The loft bed requires some agility but we are in our late 60's & managed fine.Natural hot pools 5min drive down the road were a highlight.
