First time in a tiny house, definitely won't be the last! I spontaneously booked Susannah's lovely tiny house at Piha on Friday around 3pm, offering to check in later to give them more time to get it ready, however everything was prepared by 5pm.
I arrived around 8pm, and found it super easy to access the property. I even decided to go against the advice of parking on the road, and parked down the driveway in my little VW Polo, and had no issues backing out.
The place was lovely and clean, and although it was dark outside, the sounds of the ocean were so peaceful and soothing. At first I was a little nervous being there by myself however that quickly went away after a couple of wines. I had no issues with the compostable toilet as I was there alone and Susannah's instructions were easy to follow. The WIFI worked perfectly, and the fireplace was lovely when the sun went down. The view during the day is amazing, and although I didn't go to the beach, I felt like I was right there on the sand.
I definitely recommend the tiny house for any couple (or small family) wanting to get away for a weekend. Although there is room to have two couples there (one in the tiny house and one in the sleep out) just be mindful of the fact there is only one unflushable toilet.
Thanks again Susannah - I had never booked an Airbnb for myself and this was wonderful.
