After binge-watching Living Big in a Tiny House during the pandemic, I was so excited to finally stay in a real-life tiny house! Mountain Tiny is in a fantastic location - so close to town, yet so isolated on its block, with amazing views. And so many cockatoos coming to visit! We counted 27 one morning.
The house is beautiful and incredibly clean. The bathroom was larger than I expected. There were no issues with using the composting toilet, and although I was slightly worried about running out of electricity, that never happened, even though we watched TV in the evenings. I messaged the hosts a few times and they were very responsive, which was great.
There are a few things that aren't criticisms but, I would say, "good to know" items. The first is - there are no curtains/blinds on any of the windows. I didn't realise this until we got there (although it is obvious on the photos, so that was my bad) and it was somewhat confronting at night, even though the house is so isolated. Secondly, the fireplace is the only source of heat, so I recommend bring warm clothes and/or learning how to effectively light a fire. Third, don't bring too many things - there is almost no storage space, and everything you have brought with you will be out in the open. Pack light to avoid clutter!
We had a really fun time and very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Peta and Daniel!
