Staying in our unique House Truck (Gypsy Caravan) is a one-of-a-kind experience that you won't find anywhere else. This charming accommodation is built on a 1940's Bedford K series truck and was lovingly hand-crafted in New Zealand over an impressive eleven-year period from 2001 to 2012. While the truck itself cannot be driven, it offers a cozy and comfortable space for your stay. Here's what you can expect during your time in the House Truck:
Accommodation Features:
Sleeping Arrangements: The House Truck is designed to accommodate two guests, featuring a comfortable double bed located over the driver's cab.
Kitchen: In the center of the truck, you'll find a small but well-equipped kitchen. It includes a gas hob, oven/cooker, microwave, rice cooker, and a fridge, allowing you to prepare your own meals.
Lounge Area: The truck's small lounge area is equipped with a cozy wood-burning stove, a comfortable three-seat bench, a table, chair, and a 21" widescreen TV with a DVD/CD player. You're welcome to enjoy our extensive collection of over 700 DVD and Blu-Ray movies during your stay.
Toilet and Shower: On-board, there are separate rooms for the toilet and shower. The space between these rooms serves as an entrance corridor and secluded towel-down area after showering.
Heating: Heating is provided either by a small, super-efficient wood burner fire in the center of the truck (with free fire cones in winter) or two electric heaters. Hot water bottles are also available for added comfort.
