Tiny Home Base has everything from compact studios to spacious retreats and work-from-home setups on-site and ready to go.

Simon Bridge and Glenn Smith own the Drury-based business, selling and renting small
dwellings from its base alongside the Southern Motorway.

The recent change in rules around building a granny flat in New Zealand is an exciting
development and opens up more options for homeowners, Simon says.

While the consent pathway is now simpler, understanding what works on your specific site still takes experience and clear advice.

Tiny Home Base specialises in cabins and minor dwellings you can view, walk through, and buy today. Whether you’re creating space for family, adding a rental, or setting up a self-contained studio, we’ll help you navigate the new 70m² exemption with confidence and without unnecessary delays.

Tiny Home Base is offering a complimentary site assessment to get expert guidance tailored to your property. Photo supplied

The new rules open the door, but your land determines what’s possible, Simon says.

To help Kiwis work through the new rules and what will work for your property and your
situation, Tiny Home Base is offering a complimentary site assessment to get clear, expert
guidance tailored to your property.

“We’re experienced in navigating council requirements and can manage the process on your behalf as part of a full turn-key solution.

“The biggest house we have on site here in Drury is 101m2, but we have a range of sizes
between 10m2 and 70m2 for people to walk through and experience in person. It’s been amazing to see the response from customers who have been on site and walked through our dwellings.

“Everything on site is ready to be sold, and others can be customised and built to your
specifications. Our architect has seen it all and can work with you to design something to suit your needs.”

There are various options for foundations. On most uneven or sloped sites, we can manage this through the installation of screw piles for a safe, stable, and level base.

“It’s such an exciting industry to be in – we love being able to help people understand what they can have on their property, whether it’s a tiny home, bach, granny flat, or temporary
accommodation.

“Come to our site and see what we can do for you and your property.”
