Pine Nut Corner by Tiny Away

Summary:
Whether you're on a spontaneous getaway or a well-planned holiday escape, Pine Nut Corner always has a place for you that no ordinary tiny house has. A close-up encounter with a Himalayan Tahr, one of the most declining populations in New Zealand, and a glimpse of some of the world's rarest sheep, goats, and rabbits in the country.

The ideal escape, where you can watch stunning sunsets from our private deck and listen to nature's soundscape. #CozyTinyHome #HolidayHomesNZ
