  • After losing her home and everything she owned in the Christchurch Earthquake of 2011, Vicki packed her bags and traveled to Australia where she built a whole new life for herself, including an amazing tiny house on wheels!
    Her tiny home is beautifully built and perfectly designed to fit her lifestyle. Situated on an idyllic permaculture farm amongst the tropical forest, this really is an amazing place to call home.
    Losing her home and all of her possessions in the earthquake has encouraged Vicki to build a new life focused on the things that are truly important to her and focusing on happiness, not things. There’s a lot to love about this tiny house and the inspiring woman who built it.
    We hope you enjoy the tour of this stunning tiny house!

    All over the world, we have met many people who have lost homes in natural disasters and almost without exception the one thing they all tell us is that the unfortunate event forced them to really consider what's truly important and to focus their attention towards those things. Vicki has done such a fantastic job in building both a home and a life true to her values. We hope you enjoy this tour. With Love, Bryce & Rasa

      Same here. When dad passed away mom didn’t care for anything they owned so everything was given away. They didn’t want me to go there but since have realized their mistake. I’m highly emotional and they didn’t want to deal with a breakdown.
      Then mom passed away 5yrs later and she didn’t have a lot. She didn’t care anymore.
      Then last year my hubby passed away suddenly and I’m going through things that I have and I’m going to be selling a lot of it because I don’t want my sons left to deal with all my collections and so forth.
      Like the saying goes, Once you’ve died, you can’t take it with you. It’s life, but we have to think of who has to go through our belongings and how hard it is on them. I love my kids too much to do that to them.

    This is the most beautiful and practical tiny home I've seen. It emits such calm and peacefulness. The kitchen is bigger than that found in some apartments these days, and the amount of well-planned storage she has is amazing. This place does not have that tiny home claustrophobia that some do. Her decor adds to the whole peaceful environment. I could happily live in this home.

You present each episode as a gem of heartfelt homebuilding no matter how humble or extravagant they appear. You showed us where you came from, and created for yourself and your loved ones, a production company made from love. Trillions of people have leaped out on the dream of a simpler more bespoke life for themselves and their families after being inspired by your videos. Thank you for having been vulnerable and sharing the aspects of your life that you felt were safe.

    I have enjoyed watching these videos for some years now and am sad that here in the US we are held back from building houses like this by zoning and building code laws. I have shaken my head continually over the urge of my contemporaries (I am 71) to build ever larger and larger houses. WHY? I always ask them this and am greeted with confusion and incredulity. There is a style of building called Earthships designed by Michael Reynolds that has been around since the 1970s that I have always yearned for but like most unconventional building techniques has fought for legal parity. Living a life less impactful (wasteful) has always appealed to me and I am glad to see that some people are doing it successfully. Thank you.

      I am early 60s & my brother is 5 yrs older. He is in process of building a 5,000 sq ft mansion in Virginia. Sounds nuts to me. But he's lived in a small weirdly-laid-out house for decades that was all he could afford in the 80s, so it's hard to fault him for wanting his dream house. Mine would be closer to a tiny than a mansion.

      I know that Vicki is a kiwi living in Australia. But the building codes in New Zealand are not prescriptive - they're based on performance (fit to live, suffisent light, sanitation etc etc) and have to fit into the context of its respective town/city - which again has region specific requirements. Once you get your head around that, it makes sense, and you can get creative

      As a fellow American I believe the resistance against Off Grid living is tied to avarice and corruption more than safety issues. Off Griders are not feeding the power company and tax coffers like traditional home dwellers.

    Wow, Vicki’s home really grew on me with every next image! I applaud her simplification and acknowledgment of the need for greater calm after the trauma of the Christchurch quake. (In California’s fires, I see so many of us suffering without a cultural acknowledgment of the heightened trauma taking its toll.)
    Feels like we all benefit from being kinder to ourselves, as Vicki’s chosen to be.
    I have a Tiny “tech question” for her: Does having all clothing storage in the bathroom require more powerful fans or moisture evac to keep things in good condition? (I love her concept & wonder this every time I see someone who’s done it.)
    Open to hear from anyone who’s chosen that route.
    Meantime, many gratifying tiny years & wishes to you, Vicki!!

It is amazing that Vicki has been able to experience such a terrible chaos and loss and to turn that into such peace and comfort. To also be part of a sustainable , permaculture community is an additional asset. This type of property and lifestyle should be the prototype for the regenerative communities. Just beautiful nature and so peaceful. Well done !

    This reminds of living in an efficiency apartment. You can appreciate having a home that is a simple way to enjoy living in nature. Massive homes with lots of rooms don’t make sense in the long run since you can only be in any part at any given time.

    I love the wall paper! I never would normally be into white walls anymore, because after too many years with only that, it's boring & blah to me. However, with the Gorgeous greenery adorning the white, it elevates it to a whole 'nother level, whilst perfectly embodying the outdoor nature vibe of the landscape.
