*when you are not using the tiny house
This is a new modular hotel and retreat product brought to you and co-created by the award winning architectural teams and in-house designers.
This new partnership designs, furnishes and delivers design-led, sustainable tiny houses on wheels specifically for the hotel and leisure industry. A 'tiny house' is a house on wheels that can be added to a property without violating building or planning laws because they are considered caravans by most shires. This means you can place a 'tiny house' on wheels on an unbuildable lot and still enjoy the benefits of your tiny house ownership. Being on wheels allows you to move your tiny house anytime!
We redefine prefabricated, modular hotels and retreats dedicated to creating space for escapism.
“Build Tiny is working with ambitious partners to disrupt the current hospitality and tourism accommodation model in Australia. Everyone can be a part of this revolutionary model.”
— Adrian Chia - Co-Founder Build Tiny
'Staycations and road trips will be favored over flying'
This product is a direct reaction to the current hospitality marketplace. On one hand, there is a natural and personal reaction to mass market holidays, overbearing commercialism and a growing sense of environmentalism. Then throw in to the mix Covid-19 and you have the perfect storm.
Many reports have pointed out that staycations will be the new vacation for many of us. Besides that, domestic travelers will prefer properties that have larger open spaces and are not as high-volume. Guests will want to be outside, rather than confined indoors. Close to nature experience will be on high priority for guests. Integrating the concept of tiny house with eco-tourism hits right on the nail where guests can stay close to nature. Tiny house on wheels makes it so much easier to move and place it on the perfect spot in the property.
Much of our newly acquired social distancing habits are here for the long-haul.

Why rent out your tiny house?
Most owners choose to use the tiny house for own stay, as a guest house or home-office in the backyard or as a holiday home anywhere around the world. You can also rent out in the short or long term as an additional source of income whenever you are not using it yourself to defray the costs of maintaining the tiny house and recover some of the cost of purchasing it.
This new eco-tourism concept comes with the benefit of being hosted on scenic land in Australia. They can be parked on land owned by farmers or vineyard owners, who get a slice of the rental profits. At Tiny Away, we help rent out your tiny houses on online accommodation booking sites like Airbnb and help you fully manage it.
“Hoteliers predict that travellers will prefer smaller and less dense hotels and outdoor amenities.”

Tiny House vs Traditional Property
Location, Location, Location.
Better Gross Rental Yield with Tiny House
This is what we always hear on traditional property. For tiny house on wheels, you can move it to the perfect spot anytime. This will reduce one uncertain but important factor from your purchase. We are NOT saying traditional property purchase is worse off than tiny house but tiny house is another alternative option for rental income.
A property’s gross yield is calculated by taking the annual rental income, dividing it by the property value, and then multiplying it by 100. For example, a property which earns $375 a week in rent, for a total of $19,500 a year, on a property purchased for $450,000, returns 4.3% (Source: www.realestate.com.au).

How does it work?
After you have purchased your tiny house from Build Tiny for your own usage, you might think about making full use of it by renting it out, rather than letting it sit empty. You can choose to appoint Tiny Away (www.tinyaway.com) as your managing agent, which is also a Big Tiny subsidiary, to help manage your tiny houses.
Tiny Away in Australia, partners with land hosts and places tiny houses in spectacular rural settings, surrounded by nature. They can be on animal farms, fruit orchards, vineyards or just places with amazing scenery.
After deploying your tiny houses to scenic locations and listing them up on major accommodation-booking platforms, we closely monitor the occupancy rates in the upcoming months. Should you not enjoy the surroundings of your tiny house or find that the occupancy rate is less than ideal, you have the option of moving the tiny house to other locations where are more suitable surroundings or higher demand.
And if at any point in time, you feel that tiny house ownership is not working out for you, Tiny Away will also help in the resale of your tiny house back to Build Tiny at rates and on terms and conditions that are made known to you before the purchase.
Aimed at helping stressed-out city dwellers re-discover and connect with Nature, yet providing the creature comforts of a normal home, Tiny Away has been managing more than 30 of such properties for the past few years, with sterling reviews and testimonials from hundreds of satisfied guests.
