I'm also very interested in the tiny house movement especially after watching Bryce Langston's videos LivingBigInATinyHouse I hope I can build one for myself some day. I do like what they did with this one. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the fact that the toilet is so close to the kitchen area. But all in all its a great space👌
Hi Zuzile! Oh yes, Francois and I watch Bryan's videos all the time! Tiny homes are awesome. We were so impressed by how open and spacious this tiny house actually felt. The toilet next to the kitchen didn't actually bother us at all, but I said one thing I would change is to put a small area in between the kitchem and bathroom where you have a full length mirror and can get dressed. I didn't like getting dressed in the living area, especially with the stack doors that were open all the time. All and all, an amazing house. I hope you get to build one for yourself one day! Where are you from?
@@francoisandjackievlogs5949 I'm originally from Jo'burg but I currently stay in Pretoria for school purposes. I think we should have more workshops and programmes that will educate more South Africans abt the tiny house movement 😄😄
awesome guys ...we are planning a mobile version of the tiny house ...great to see SA guys and dolls joining the movement......i lived in one in Nederland and UK cheers and well done !!
Thank you so much I currently moved from 2 bedroom apartment to a studio apartment. I've been looking for inspo videos from South Africa to decorate my space. Thank you for this video.
Hi there! I actually don't know... We've been interested in minimalism and tiny living for a few years now and saw this tiny and just had to go there. Last year we could only find 2 tiny houses that you can go stay in. But I saw an article yesterday that the movement is hitting SA. So hopefully there will be more options and people writing about it soon!

Hi, thanks for the tour, your home is so beautiful! I would love to live in a place like this. Could you please tell me which company made this tiny house and how much it costs? Thanks!
Hi there! We're glad you enjoyed the tour! We went on holiday in Scarborough, Cape Town and stayed in this tiny house for a weekend. We found it on AirBnB. The owner made it himself, not sure of he does it for other people. I hope you can still find it on AirBnB!

Hi! Thank you for your comment! The tiny house we stayed in for a weekend was inside of an enclosed lot. I'm sure you can also put burglar bars and gates on a tiny house. I do however think it would be a good idea to have it custom made or to build it yourself so that it doesn't spoil the look too much. If you have a tiny house in an informal settlement or perhaps on a farm, I'm sure you'll have to consider a few safety measurements, but not insurmountable.
@@RipsterSA Yeah we dont have a lot of cool building materials like they have overseas. The composting toilet available in SA is this kind. thebdi.org/pod/eco-throne-dry-composting-toilet/ Those nice ones you see on UA-cam overseas start at about R25k if you import!!!!!
Ja there's a reason why there aren't a lot of tiny houses in SA. Imagine one of these in JHB... You go to sleep in Randburg and wake up in Soweto! This isn't very practical in a country where you and your house can be moved while you are sleeping. I personally love the idea but it's not practical in our country.
There are many areas in south Africa where crime is at a minimum especially villages. Of course in the crime capital such as Joburg this wouldn't be practical but you can build one in a safe village.
yes. you have to be able to afford a proper house, before you can afford to buy a tiny house. you also need to own the property on which to put the tiny house. no bank will fund a tiny house. it's all cash. ironic, since it's supposed to be an affordable alternative...

Hi Francois and Jackie. Love the idea of tiny house living. But, what about security given the crime in SA?

How did you get the land? Are you renting it or is this communal living or a caravan Park?
Hi there! This was an AirBnB tiny house that we rented for a weekend. It is on the owner's land. He built it himself!
yes, it is quite tiny
Which province is this..I must visit the place. Its cool
Hi! This is in the Western Cape in Scarborough. It is close to Cape Point 😁 Awesome area! We booked this Tiny House on AirBnB😉
@@francoisandjackievlogs5949 thanks..
What is that toilet? Is it a composting toilet? Or black water?
No, it was just hooked up to the sewage system, so a normal flushing system.
@@francoisandjackievlogs5949. Ok got it. I was hoping it was a composting toilet. Can't find one locally. Peace.

Tiny houses are WAY overpriced in SA😕
