Brynderwyn Hill of Oaks by Tiny Away

Summary:
Discover the unspoiled allure of Brynderwyn Hill, about an hour's drive from Ashburton, Canterbury Region. The ideal tiny house New Zealand retreat offers a place of solace for those seeking to recharge in nature's embrace, surrounded by quaint cafes, restaurants, local stores, and lovely parks.

Wake up to the calming sounds of nature, feed our highland cow "Rosy" a few bread crusts for breakfast, and enjoy your morning tea while gazing out at the Southern Alps in the distance.

The Space:
Brynderwyn Hill is located in a farming locality of Claremont, 13km west of Timaru. Nearby Caroline Bay Association, Coffee Culture Timaru, and Centennial Park are just a few of the attractions in the area. You can even catch a glimpse of Timaru Blue Penguins, which can often be seen off Caroline Bay and Patiti Point.

Enjoy stunning sunrises and sweeping views of the Southern Alps from an expansive flat lawn surrounded by gum and oak trees. The cozy accommodation of 139-square-feet comes with easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities.

The bathroom follows ecologically sustainable principles, including an eco-friendly cassette toilet, hand basin, and shower (gas heated for hot showers) for your use. It focuses on satisfying people's needs with natural resources and processes to save water by using eco-friendly toilets to save the environment.

If you plan to spend your tiny house New Zealand retreat here, we advise that you bring your basic necessities, such as food and water during your stay with us. Thank you!

We were late arriving so only got to spend a very short time but the tiny house was lovely and comfortable. The hosts were very helpful and accommodating.
