The best tiny houses in Australia and NZ: Would you live like this?

Starts At Sixty has previously covered the tiny house movement, when people choose to downsize into compact homes. Now Aussies and Kiwis alike are following this trend!

A rising number of tiny houses are popping up across Australia and New Zealand, with some home buyers feeling “priced out” of the property market otherwise.

Living Big in a Tiny House author Bryce Langston says, “There is no one single personality type that suits downsized living”.

“Some tiny house occupants are young and just wanting a stepping stone to get ahead in life… Others are retiring and wanting to downsize to a smaller space, that’s easier to manage”.

“I suppose one thing that they do generally have in common is that they are drawn to a simple way of life”, Mr Langston added. “They are more excited about gaining experiences than material possessions”.

Here are some of the best tiny houses across Australia and New Zealand. Could you live like this? Share your thoughts below!
