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.

Guests will have access to our cozy tiny home and the surrounding areas, except the land host's private residence.

The tiny home was perfectly fine, amenities were good, and the bunny watching from the window was very cute. However the email that arrived just prior to check-in that advised the use of earplugs to block the sound of traffic and trains…well it was good advice, but arrived a little too late. The perpetual falling of objects from the trees overhead onto the metal roof of the house all together with the train rumbling through and trucks thundering by, lead to a less than decent sleep. For the accommodation I was most looking forward to on my trip, it was the most disappointing.
