HEY THERE

We're PAUL & SAL

When inner city life became too expensive for us, we weren't sure how to afford our own home. So we looked at living a different way and formed a tiny dream.We bought a classic Kiwi camper and transformed him into Matty - a beautiful tiny home on wheels. You can read all about our journey on StuffWith only 128,000km on the clock, after four years with us, Matty's ready for new adventurers

HOME SWEET HOME

LIVING SPACE

Matty is 7.3m long by 2.3m wide. The seating area at the back comfortably seats six people. While the middle of Matty is home to a three-tier pantry, space for a stand-up desk and storage for coats, shoes and clothes. See for yourself in our tiny tour video

GOODBYE VENEER

HELLO PLY

When we bought him, Matty was a veneer, formica and aged-plastic extravaganza. Wherever we could, we swapped these out with honey-coloured ply, contemporary colours and LED lighting.

PACK UP & GO

IN JUST 20 mins

Lots of house trucks we saw on social media looked sooooo beautiful, but didn't factor in pack-up time. We designed Matty to be completely 'pack-up-able' in just 20 mins. Ideal for weekend getaways.

MANY WAYS TO CREATE DELICIOUS EATS

COOKING SPACE

Matty's kitchen has stovetop, grilling and baking options, 95L fridge, heaps of storage and even a place to grow herbs

DESIGN THINKING

FOLD-OUTS & MAGNETS

Magnetic shelves, racks and containers keep kitchen essentials handy, while Matty's kitchen counter-top space is doubled with a fold-out.

SIMPLE LUXURY

THREE-WAY FRIDGE

With a 95L fridge (with freezer space) you can keep a whole week of supplies cool and fresh. It can be powered by gas, electricity or set-up for battery use.

A FULL-SIZED

SPACE TO SHOWER

Matty's bathroom has a cassette toilet, hand sink and separate shower. For friends who've never used a cassette toilet before, we designed a step-by-step infographic to ease first-time nerves

AN ABUNDANANCE OF

STORAGE SPACE

With a wardrobe, ten drawers, a three-tiered pantry, multiple overhead cabinets and under-seating storage, there's plenty of space for the things you love. Watch our tiny tour video to see just how much storage Matty has

IT FEELS GREAT TO BE

POWERED BY THE SUN

Matty has two roof-top solar panels that can be used to charge the two house batteries, usb-powered devices, as well as laptops.

YOUR CHOICE OF TWO

SLEEPING SPACES

If you want to keep your sleeping and living spaces separate, the 'above the cab' bed will be your go-to. If you don't mind blending, the rear seating area converts to a king-sized bed

#ADVENTURESINMATTY

ADVENTURING IN MATTY

Matty has taken us up to Northland, down to the Catlins and zig-zagged to lots of places in-between. We even created a magnetic map in the bathroom to add photos of all your Aotearoa travels

BUT WHAT ABOUT...

OFF-GRID & ON-GRID OPTIONS

We lived in Matty off-grid for our first two years - so he's totes set up for you to do the same. Think 160L water tanks, Eberspächer diesel heater, two solar panels, inverter, house battery charger and, of course, solar-powered fairy lights. If you need a break from off-grid life, Matty is wired to plug back into the grid. Take a look around Matty or view his full set-up

TAKE A LOOK

INSIDE MATTY'S CAB

The 'truck' part of Matty is in great shape. He maybe an oldie, but he's definitely a goodie. At just under 128,000km on the clock, he's very low kms for his age. We've kept Matty serviced and maintained - take a look at Matty's full specifications
