Tarras Tiny Haven • Stargaze, Unwind, Wake to Mountain Views
Tarras Tiny Haven – Peaceful Eco Retreat in Central Otago
A Peaceful Eco Escape
Step into serenity at Tarras Tiny Haven, your slice of paradise with wide-open mountain views, crisp air, and unforgettable sunrises.
Nestled on a quiet four-acre lifestyle block just off Highway 8, this beautifully crafted tiny home looks out to the Pisa Range and welcomes friendly cows, sheep, and birds. At night, stargaze under one of the clearest skies in Aotearoa.
Sleep Under the Stars in Style
Thoughtfully designed and timber-lined for warmth and charm, the tiny house includes:
* King-size bed in the loft with sunrise mountain views
* Comfy sofa bed downstairs (ideal if you prefer to avoid stairs; we’ll set it up before you arrive)
* Fully equipped kitchen and dining area for every kind of meal
* Spacious hot shower and high-quality composting toilet (odor-free and simple to use, with a guide provided)
* Upstairs lounge with TV, Netflix, and a cozy space to read or relax
Every detail has been chosen for comfort, style, and sustainability.
Your Private Outdoor Space
Step outside to your own quiet seating area surrounded by open countryside. Sip a glass of local wine, read in the sun, prepare a lovely BBQ, or simply watch the light move across the mountains. As night falls, the Milky Way puts on a show.
Sustainable & Spotless
Tarras Tiny Haven runs on solar power and uses a premium eco-toilet system. It’s spotless, comfortable, and designed for conscious travellers who appreciate nature without sacrificing modern comfort.
Perfect Location for Exploring
Peaceful yet central, everything you need is close by:
3 min → Tarras Country Café & village shops (great coffee and the best ice cream)
5–15 min → Māori Point & Cloudy Bay vineyards
20 min → Cromwell
30 min → Wānaka
50 min → Queenstown Airport
1 hr → High Country Salmon Farm, Twizel
2 hrs → Lake Tekapo & Aoraki Mount Cook National Park
It’s the perfect base for day trips—or a peaceful pause between adventures.
Private parking is right beside the house, and your hosts are nearby if you need anything.
Bonus: Go Fishing While You’re Here
We also run Catch a Fish, offering guided lake fishing trips on Wānaka and Hāwea. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or just want time on the water, we’d love to take you out. Guests enjoy an exclusive discount—just ask!

We truly appreciate your understanding and are always happy to help recommend family-friendly stays nearby.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Tarras Tiny Haven — a peaceful, solar-powered retreat where comfort meets simplicity and every sunrise feels like a fresh start.
