Pleasant
All good. Wifi would be nice. Having wheels is important. Probably not for die-hard city slickers. A great time at a great place.

Magical spot
Piece and quiet surrounded by bushland. With lots of birds to watch. The tiny home is perfectly fitted out with an excellent screened enclosed veranda to sit and enjoy the surroundings.

About the host

Hosted by Shelley

Host profile image
My family has lived on the island for 26 years and I always enjoyed visiting them, the ferry ride, the birds and wildlife, the fresh air and escaping the 'rat race', so I bought this tiny home as my special place.

Why they chose this property

I'm an advocate of tiny homes and this one is made from a 40 foot shipping container and is very liveable especially with the bifold doors onto the deck bringing the outside into the home.

What makes this property unique

In a tiny home every item must be carefully selected to enable full enjoyment of the space and versatility and be uncluttered. The home has a 5 Star Building Energy Rating including insulated ceiling, walls and floor, double glazed tinted windows with ceiling fans in the bedroom and family room.
