Tiny house with huge appeal!

This tiny house is perfect in every way. We were welcomed warmly and Sytske took time to advise us on walks, sights and restaurants we might like to enjoy. Her guidance proved invaluable. The house itself is delightful and very comfortable. There are incredible paintings throughout (painted by Sykske's mother) and the way natural treasures from beach combing trips have been incorporated into the design of the house makes this a unique and beautiful place to stay. The kitchen is well equipped, the bed extremely comfortable and there is a super shower with plentiful hot water. We felt privileged to be able to stay in this very special place and are missing the amazing views which greeted us on waking each morning. I do hope we can stay again at this most beautiful property.

Dear Chris and Gillian, thank you so much for this all singing all dancing review! You were great guest, loving wildlife, nature, beach walks and fishing, appreciating the effort we put in the tiny house very much (thank you soooo much:) and leaving it spotless. We could not have wished for kinder guests. We are already looking forward to your return visit.

A fantastic experience

We had the most wonderful stay in Sytske's Tiny House. Every detail of the house design has been carefully thought out, from the efficient use of space, down to the exquisite paintings of local wildlife and flowers that adorn the walls. Sytske provided a wealth of information on local hikes, beaches, and dining options, too.
