If you crave gleaming stainless steel kitchen appliances and a contemporary look, lots of space and no clutter, then don't stay here. This marvelously eccentric tiny house is none of these things, but we were delighted to spend our night in Oamaru there. It is evident that Michael has had some fun outfitting this quirky place and we had fun exploring its little corners. The grounds are lush with overgrown vegetation and fruit trees, with colourful blooms everywhere. Michael is a generous host: we found milk, fresh-squeezed orange juice, butter and a couple of eggs, plus a couple of pieces of fruit, waiting for us in the wee kitchen. There was a little flower beside the soap bars in the bathroom and miniature kitchen. Michael himself was friendly and helpful. Personally, I wouldn't try to cook in this kitchen (though one could), but we did manage to prepare a lovely dinner that didn't need cooking. It's not often that the place we stay is an integral part of our experience in a particular place, but this was definitely one of those times.
