Jan 16, 2024 Disliked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nikola The Tiny house was extremely hot & the Heat pump was very noisy preventing sleep. Unfortunately, the Tiny home was not adequately insulated to quieten the Catlins notorious coastal winds - again high noise adding to the difficulty finding tranquility/sleep. This was not "Tranquilty Tiny House" for me. The noise levels meant I had to leave early. Parking was some distance from the house, not convenient, and the advertised 'eco' aspect seemed contradicted by the high level of plastic in the construction of the building. ##### Nicola B.
