The Space:
Forest Hill Farm by Tiny Away is located near the small town of North Otago, South Island, New Zealand. It's just a 20-minute drive from the coastal town of Oamaru. Nearby Katiki Point, Moeraki Tavern, and Moeraki Boulders are just a few of the attractions in the area.
It's one of the best holiday homes in Herbert-Hampden, where you can enjoy a snug 139 square-foot tiny home with easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities. These amenities include an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste-holding tank, a hand basin, and a shower (heated by gas for hot showers) for your use.
IMPORTANT NOTE: There will be train tracks and passing car noise, which is less than 30 metres away from the SH1, which is New Zealand's busiest road. Noise-cancellation earplugs are recommended for guests.
Guest Access:
Guests will have access to our cozy tiny home and the surrounding areas, except the land host's private residence.
The Neighborhood:
Forest Hill Farm by Tiny Away sits in the quiet suburbs of Herbert-Hampden, North Otago. Just a 20 minute drive from the coastal town of Oamaru, you can explore restaurants, shops, and more here.
Our top local picks include Katiki Point, Moeraki Boulders, Oamaru's Victorian Precinct, Bushy Beach Scenic Reserve, and Oamaru Botanical Gardens. For food and drink, check out Moeraki Tavern and Inu Nutrition Bar. You can also visit Steampunk Oamaru HQ and grab essentials at New World Oamaru or Hampden.
