Tranquility Tiny House by Tiny Away
Escape the drowning pressures of city life and experience the slow and laidback lifestyle at Tranquility Tiny House in South Island, New Zealand. It's one of the tiny house rentals surrounded by abundant vegetation and native birdlife (such as Tui, Bellbird, Kereru, etc.) to keep you company.
Nestled in the heart of The Catlins, Tranquility is the perfect base to explore the local flora and fauna, beaches, bays, and much, much more.
The Space:
Tranquility Tiny House is located in the small town of Owaka, South Otago close to Catlins. Nearby Purakaunui Falls, Nugget Point, McLean Falls, and Owaka Museum are just a few of the attractions in the area. A comfortable 139 square-feet stay and one of the best tiny house rentals in the area with easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities.
The bathroom 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 escape here, we advise that you bring your own food, although there is a small supermarket and several local eateries just 5 minutes drive away. Thank you.
