Step off the grid and into a rustic, pet‑friendly tiny house coastal cabin on our 5‑acre farmlet opposite Gemstone Beach, Orepuki.

This simple, character-filled tiny house features a queen bed on the main level and a double bed on a mezzanine floor, a gas‑top cooker, BBQ, and fridge with small freezer for easy self‑catering, plus a cosy wood and coal fire in the main building. Facilities are deliberately back‑to‑basics, with a long‑drop toilet located behind the property, making this an ideal retreat for guests who value nature, solitude, starry skies, and travelling with their pets over modern hotel comforts.

You’ll wake to rural views and sea air, with Gemstone Beach just across the road for beach walks, stone hunting, and dramatic Southland sunsets – and on clear nights you can enjoy dark skies, with the chance to witness the Southern Lights (Aurora Australis) dancing on the horizon.
