Birthday

I choose the property for the reason that it looked different and separate "buildings) Not the usual. It was great in many ways, however because of the hot weather it was quite hot. Trying not to get mosquitos you could not really open the windows when the lights are on.The kitchen building was good to air. There was also a nice outdoor undercover area with a big table , wooden bench and barbecue plus a drink fridge. The main building had zircon, just as well, because there are no windows. It also has a fire pit, where you could burn some wood and eat marschmallows.

About the host

Hosted by GAVIN BARR

My name is Gavin,

I am a 31 year old builder with a renovation company called GBARR Construction based in Auckland, I also run a company called Ecospace, which is an off shoot from the construction company. This is my passion project building sustainable, luxurious prefabs, cabins, and tiny homes.

I love surfing, boxing, golf, anything to do with outdoors and nature, and absolutely love coming up to the bach and enjoying the Magical Mangawhai Heads!

Why they chose this property

I bought this property during the first lockdown to get onto the property ladder, as well as having a place to showcase my Ecospace buildings for interested clients. I built everything from scratch myself, in my spare time and after hours to create this "oasis in the heads".

Two of these Ecospace dwellings, The Tiny home and cabin are based on the property, and I use it as a showroom as well as Holiday home and Bach Rental.

The container home was a last minute opportunity i decided to go ahead with thanks to one of my best friends, who worked within the bank it came from, It was a old obsolete bank building, which i shipped up from Palmerston North as it was rotting and rusting away in a storage yard, and I completely gutted and renovated it to its current state today.

What makes this property unique

Unique, Luxurious sustainable tiny homes and container home in a beautiful peaceful rural setting, nestled into nature with a spacious outdoor entertainment area.
