Rimu View 1 by Tiny Away

Well located and delightful

The gas ran out so we had no hot water for showers. The adjacent property had 2 gas canisters but we only had one and it clearly was almost empty when we arrived. We contacted our host but got no response.

Beautiful simple tiny home. It's tiny but has everything you need. Hot water shower. Cook plate. Pans. Comfy bed. Deck and shelter to hang outside. The owner and manager Jesse was phenomenal. So friendly and interesting and also attentive and helpful if we had any issues. My only complaint is with a third party that manages messages from the Booking website (you can communicate directly with the owner as well) and they way over communicate. The same message was sent multiple times (several days in a row) asking me to leave a review and giving me paragraphs of information I already had. This poor customer service in no way reflects Jesse or his tiny homes. Highly recommend!

There was no problem with the tiny home or with Jesse it's on-site owner and manager.

Noval experience staying in a tiny house and the house itself was just lovely. The shower was fabulous. The outside area was very well set up with a barbecue.

No view. Too small for us as nowhere to put our clothes

This was our first tiny home experience and I loved it. The house itself tiny of course but everything you needed and the host had made the outdoor area very appealing. It was spotlessly clean and tidy. We had a bbq and it was lovely to self cater after so many restaurant meals. I do believe it would have been possible to order a chef cooked meal here as well. Wish we could have stayed longer but it was at the end of our trip and we needed to get back.

Inside was very clean.

1. The location, surrounded by houses so we felt like you were in a fish tank as we needed to always have the blinds down for privacy. The photos on Booking.com did not show that there are houses on all side. The impression given is that this property offers a unique experience (Booking. com gave it a special rating for this) and this would be the case if it was in an isolated and private position in the country side and not close to other houses. 2. The fire pit provided was not what is shown on Booking. com. Even though it was too wet during our stay to use the fire pit, it was the photo of the fire pit that helped sell the property. It is not acceptable to show a large beautiful fire in a large unique fire pit to then only provide an old rusty kettle. 3. Backing on to the outside sitting area is a lean-to which was full of rubbish that looks like it belongs to the owners. 4. The toilet stopped working after 8.00pm. It would not empty which indicated that the holding tank was full, if that is how it worked. 5. There is only one small light at the kitchen end of the one main room. There were no lights over the bed so too bad if you want to read.

This is a Tiny House so it is very cute which also means there isn’t a lot of space however the kitchenette and bathroom were well equipped and the bed was the comfiest one we have had so far. There isn’t much room around the bed so watch your toes and during the night if you get up to use the bathroom it is very dark with all the blinds down. We used the bbq and managed to cook our evening meal no problem with the hotplate and microwave.

Nothing but it would benefit from a table and chairs outside for outside dining so you don’t have to move them from inside and cushions on the chairs would make them a bit more comfortable.
