DETAILS

THE SPACE
Te Paki Dam View by Tiny Away is located near the town of Shannon, a bit farther from the Arapeti Campsite. Our tiny homes are nestled within native New Zealand bush, providing a truly unique and peaceful experience. Nearby, you can explore the beautiful Tararua National Park and Mangahao Nature Reserve, while the renowned Whitewater Park hosts exciting events throughout the year.

It's a 139-square-foot tiny home that is semi off-grid and powered by a solar system. Instead of air conditioning, you’ll enjoy the warmth and charm of an indoor fireplace. The home includes water access, a kitchenette with cooking equipment, and a well-designed bathroom with an eco-friendly cassette toilet, hand basin, and gas-heated shower.

As your hosts, we take great pleasure in sharing the peace and beauty of our remote forest home. Te Paki is the perfect base for creatives, adventurers, or anyone needing space to breathe. No neighbors, no noise—just pure solitude and the natural rhythms of the wild.

If you're looking to reconnect with yourself and nature, we welcome you to join us for a truly immersive stay.

Lovely cabin in secluded place - great to get away from the city. Be prepared for the drive up it's 20-25 min on gravel up and around mountain- well maintained but wouldn't have wanted to do it for the first time in the dark. Host is wonderful! Warm cozy fireplace heated the space up in a hurry and host provided ample firewood. Cabin had a good size fridge so you could bring up food for the weekend and not have to go back down the mountain - if your going for the full unplugged experience. no WiFi or cell reception (Spark) occasional spotty service for OneNZ - enjoy telling your co workers you'll be in an off grid cabin and they can sort stuff out on their own :) 10/10 will visit again.
