Hi I am Edward! check out our insta @ecoescape for more photos + info! This escape is a 2 part tiny home nestled at the base of Taranaki with unmatched mountain views. 15 mins from town and the beach, a stone throw to the mountain and bike tracks this self-contained tiny home is a perfect spot for those wishing to visit Taranaki for an adventure or to unwind. Powered from both solar panels and hydro turbines, this place is as "off-the-grid" as it gets.

We look forward to having you stay!

The space
Set within the expansive grounds of my parents' residence and venture, you'll find a serene lake equipped a rowboat, and glow worms, as well as farm animals, lush gardens, and meandering pathways waiting to be explored and enjoyed.

Our commitment to sustainability and self-sufficiency is evident in our flourishing gardens, which we rely on for food. When nature blesses us with abundance, guests are welcome to partake—simply touch base with Linda beforehand. We prioritize recycling, so we kindly ask you to assist us in this eco-friendly endeavor.

Kindly be aware:

One bed is situated in a loft, accessible by a vertical ladder. This is recommended only for guests who are agile and comfortable climbing.
All exterior spaces are open for guests to experience.
The presence of a lake, stream, and farm animals necessitates vigilant supervision of young ones, ensuring their safety.
After rain, our forest pathways can become slick. Please tread with caution and refrain from running.

Guest access
Guest are free to roam the property, but we aware we have other accommodation facilities and these other guest may prefer their privacy.

Other things to note
EcoEscape is a 100% off-grid haven, generating its own electricity through solar panels and hydro turbines. If you plan on charging an electric vehicle, please communicate with us beforehand. Importantly, guests are not allowed to bring electric heaters. The energy harnessed during daylight is crucial for our nightly power supply. Using an electric heater overnight risks irreversible damage to our battery bank due to drainage. For any queries about our energy setup or other information, don’t hesitate to ask!

We value your feedback! Kindly leave a review to help us continually improve your future experiences at EcoEscape!
