The cabin was easy to access, and I could come and go as I pleased. The initial instructions were good, and I found the access point relatively easily. The room itself was very pleasant with everything I needed. The bed was comfortable, the room was very cozy and a really nice touch was the card games. My son & I had fun with those! On the few days I had to myself, I really enjoyed being walking distance to 'Old Cromwell' and the tracks around the lake. It was a beautiful place to spend idle time relaxing, just what I needed. Arrowtown, Wanaka & Queenstown were driving distance with much to do and lots of other treasures found around the area. The Lavender Farm was an unexpected gem! I had a bit of a mishap at one point when I lost the key, but that was not a problem for the vendor she came round with a spare key as soon as I let her know. I found the key, thank goodness, but was very relieved that there were no negative reactions to ruin what was a fantastic time for me while visiting my son. Communication via the app was very useful and utilized well. Overall I was very pleased. General photos of the area attached.

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.

Staying at the Tiny House was a great new experience close to nature. We loved the silence and peace below the big trees. We also loved the sound of the birds singing. The house was very clean, well equipped, and everything worked fine. A small roof above the front door would be more  comfortable, though. We can really recommend staying at Tiny House.
