Just 10 minutes from Te Anau and 15 from Lake Manapouri, this hideout is surrounded by farmland, birdlife, and sky-stretching sunsets. Spend your days chasing wild beauty. It’s a refreshingly down-to-earth base where mountain views, open skies, and birdsong can wind you down. The Space: Whitestone Retreat 2 by Tiny Away puts you just 10 minutes from Te Anau Township and 15 minutes from Lake Manapouri, right where Fiordland National Park begins. Wake up to views of Mount Titaroa and the Kepler Mountains, with farmland all around. Spend your days visiting the Te Anau Glowworm Caves, Te Anau Bird Sanctuary, or hiking near Rainbow Reach. Then, return to your gravel pad hideout for some space that’s simple and grounded in authentic New Zealand. The 139-square-foot tiny home includes water access, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking gear, and a private bathroom with a gas-heated shower, hand basin, and eco-friendly cassette toilet. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're booking for a group, we also have a second tiny home, "Whitestone Retreat 2" available with 24 hours' notice. Guest Access: Guests have full access to the tiny house and the entire fenced outdoor area surrounding it. Feel free to use any space within the boundary of the property. The Neighborhood: Ten minutes by car from Te Anau township, Whitestone Retreat 2 by Tiny Away sits right at Fiordland National Park’s edge. Start your day with a short drive to the glowworm-lit Te Ana‑au Caves, part of the Te Anau Glowworm Caves experience, then loop back past the teal lakeshore to the Bird Sanctuary at Punanga Manu. Stretch your legs along Rainbow Reach tracks or dip into lakeside cafés in town. Head fifteen minutes south for Lake Manapouri, born from ice‑age carving and watched over by cathedral‑edged peaks. That drive delivers a quieter limb of the park, a checkpoint between two deep-lake giants. Manapōuri spills into Doubtful Sound excursions or lets you linger in tiny cafés and a two‑bookshop village. Fiordland National Park looms: dark valleys, saltwater fiords inland, moss‑clad forest edges at the roads. Roll into the next town with muddy boots or glow‑bug tales. All this sits in the shadow of the great Fiordland expanse, the world heritage park that surrounds mountains, glacier-sculpted valleys, and rare wildlife. Getting Around: By Car: \- Whitestone Retreat 2 is a 2-hour drive (117 km) from Queenstown via standard 2WD-friendly roads. By Public Transportation: \- There are no taxi services available directly to the retreat. Public transport options are limited, so driving is the most reliable method. By Flight: \- The nearest airports are Queenstown Airport and Te Anau Manapouri Airport. \- From Queenstown Airport, it’s a 2-hour drive. From Te Anau Manapouri Airport, it’s around 20 minutes by car. \- Rental cars are recommended for both. Other Things to Note: \- No pets allowed \- Wifi is not available \- Gas BBQ grill is available \- Mobile reception has good signals \- No unregistered guests or visitors are allowed \- Smoking is allowed in designated areas of the property \- Please note that more extended stays or late check-outs will incur an extra charge Important note: \- For stays of 5 nights or more (or for bookings of 5 nights or more), an additional cleaning fee will be collected to help maintain the cassette toilet and ensure a clean and fresh experience for all guests. We appreciate your understanding. Interaction with Guests: Guests will enjoy your own private space but we are always happy to chat with you. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker -

We absolutely loved our stay. The off-grid feel and stunning views made our stay unforgettable. We opted to order food in town, grab a bottle of wine, and eat on the lovely deck and watch the sunset and listen to the birds. It was perfect. The tiny home itself was cozy and had everything we needed. Highly recommend! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/662c22c1-2489-4a38-9837-52956571715d-1764642385111.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b64c02ca-f434-4fef-9609-eb5317b37531-1764642384372.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a4e2cc25-b6e0-49fe-9305-4362ae2c2d1e-1764642385262.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kelly Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025
