The Space:
Gold Nugget 1 by Tiny Away is tucked away from the usual camping area of Gold Park with separate access through the back and convenient parking right next to the tiny house. The tiny home comes with views of lush, green paddocks, creeks, and random visits from Rudy the deer over the fence 5 meters away from the tiny house. The campsite is also a drive away from various scenes and activities such as Nugget Point, Tunnel Beach Dunedin, Larnach Castle, and Orokonui Ecosanctuary.
It's a cozy 139-square-foot accommodation with comfortable and well-furnished guest rooms, wide public spaces, and comfortable seating areas. Easy access to water, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking equipment, and excellent bathroom facilities are included. These amenities include an eco-friendly cassette toilet with a removable waste holding tank, hand basin, and shower (gas-heated for hot showers).
