What an incredible afternoon at the Tiny House Expo! 🎉 At 2pm today, we held our highly anticipated live charity auction in support of Blue Light NZ, and we are thrilled to announce the auction was a huge success! 🏠💙

With the amazing help of Harvey's Real Estate and their fantastic auctioneering skills, the no-reserve auction for the stunning tiny house provided by Unit To Go just sold for an unbelievable $90,000! 🙌

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who came along, bid, and supported such a great cause. All proceeds will go towards helping Blue Light continue their important work with youth across New Zealand.

Ever heard of the saying, “What could go wrong?” Well, that was pretty much the story of how the Tiny House Expo came to be! 😂

It all kicked off when Sharla’s first tiny home move turned into a disaster – stuck trucks, a damaged tiny home, and a whole lot of mud. What should’ve been a dream turned into months of drama! But hey, from all that chaos, the Tiny House Expo was born to help others navigate the world of tiny living without the headaches.

Keen to know more? Check out the full story in the Stuff article below and find out how we turned a nightmare into a passion project! 🏡💚

Sharla May wanted to downsize to a tiny home to live a debt-free life, but it was a dream that ended in tears.
