Disappointed
Property’s air conditioning wasn’t working and fridge also not working. Tried knocking on owner’s door at main property several times with no response. Decided to stay elsewhere. Owner has promised a full refund but I am yet to see this. No precise address provided nor contact number. Very hard to communicate with owner upon arrival. Managed to find her number from a google search of their other business.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 Mar 2024
Very sorry But we had an electricity brown out in the whole area, totally out of our control Everyone in the district had the same problem I have already authorised a full refund at that time So will need to check with VRBO as to why it hasn’t been issued Have checked with VRBO and the refund was issued on the 29th Feb so should be in the account. As to contact details and property address these should have been provided in the confirmation email after the booking was accepted

We were quite looking forward to staying in the tiny home as it was our first time. Disappointed to see that it wasn’t very clean. Sheets felt like they’d been slept in before. Fan, bathroom, top of cupboard, door and window tracks were filthy. Fridge had a strong garlic/curry smell. Outside was infested with leeches and two of us got stung, one quite bad.

Overnight in Tiny House
This was a first stay at a tiny house and we thought it was fantastic. Very comfortable size wise and beautiful outlook to the bush. The owners were easy to communicate ahead of our arrival and very friendly when we met in person. Everything was so easy, The bed was also very comfortable and it was quiet so we slept really well! Thanks for a great stay!

We loved it. So much more fun than a motel room. Lots packed in, practical and functional. Loved cooking our sausages and eggs for breakfast on the verandah with chickens scratching about in the garden. Perfect stay.

We wanted to stay in a tiny house on wheels to judge if it could be likely to live in one. The house is great, clean, Steve and Shelley have huge smiles and are quite welcoming. We had hens and a dog visiting us during our stay, it was great. The view from the deck towards the bush is superb!

Teenage retreat at best
Cons -Need to be a rock climber with a perfect prostrate to use the loft, fold out bed makes more noise during the night then a swamp of frogs. Advertised price is a bit of a hoax as is the postage stamp TV on the side wall, you might get Netflix if you are tech savy. Pros - Its clean, walking distance to Tumbling Waters and the verandah in the afternoon.

It is in a great spot but not the cleanest, with a few baby cockroaches spotted and ants in the sugar. Cleaning was not the greatest with dirty surfaces and someone’s old food next to the bed, room for improvement and would not take much to be pristine.

The tiny home was clean and as shown on the listing, came with all the necessities. Overall had a nice stay however the communication process was quite difficult. Also the owner or the owners partner, the man who owns Just Cruisin was an absolute lifesaver helped us find a way back home to wollongong! much appreciated

Lovely deck and outlook, cute tiny home. It’s a shame the stove and tv weren’t working. Loft bed sheets were dishevelled. 3 teabags for 2 nights x 2 people. Plastic wine glasses. It’s the little things that make a difference

Hidden bush retreat
This was our first tiny home experience and we loved it. There isn't much space but it really hepls you priortize what's really needed. The property was remote so it was quiet. The kids loved spotting for deer and interacting with Shelleys family dog. Highly recommend for those looking for a hidden bush retreat but don't mind a small space. It reminded us of staying in a campervan which the kids loved. Everything was great, however would have loved more flyscreens on the windows to keep the bugs out. There are some flyscreens but not on every window. The hosts were great and they were very accommodating.

Lovey & comfortable
This tiny home was super cute. I stayed with a friend and the two bed set up was perfect. Sitting on the deck was very nice & there was plenty of room inside to sit for dinner. We used the stove top which was a little tricky but fine. The tiny home is on a residential property which we didnt realise. It wasnt a problem as you didnt see it when in the tiny home (we were facing bushland and the sunset) and we didnt hear anything either. Loved the experience and would recommend.
