Question 1

Where can I park?

Accepted Answer

Right here at Mystery Creek – and it’s free. No parallel parking gymnastics required. Just a heads-up: things can get busy, so rock up early if you don’t fancy doing laps.

Question 2

Can I park and stay in my motorhome onsite during the Expo?

Accepted Answer

Onsite overnight motorhome parking isn’t available. We’re actively reviewing options for future expos, but there’s no onsite provision this year.

But you can book across the road and Mystery Creek Motel who offer sites.

Capacity: Up to 30 self-contained campervans
Location: Directly opposite Gate 2 of Mystery Creek Events Centre
Rates (per night): $30 powered / $20 non-powered
How to book: Please book directly with Mystery Creek Motel

Question 3

Can I bring my pet to the expo?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, no. Only registered service animals are allowed inside (venue rules).

Question 4

Will there be door sales?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but buying online is faster. Door sales are for people who like queues (and we don’t judge… much).

Question 5

What accessibility options will there be?

Accepted Answer

We’re committed to making the expo as accessible as possible. The pavilion, where the event and talks will be held, will have wheelchair access. However, please note that we cannot guarantee wheelchair access into each tiny home on display. Most of the homes will have steps leading into them, as they’ve been custom-built to suit their new owners’ requirements. These homes are on display at the expo before heading to their new destinations. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to reach out if you have any specific accessibility questions.

Question 6

Is the event family friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes, bring the kids. They’ll love exploring, though we can’t guarantee they won’t start lobbying for a tiny home of their own.

Question 7

Will there be food and drink available?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We’ve got coffee carts and food trucks on-site, so you can fuel up between house-hopping.

Question 8

Will the speaker presentations be available after the event?

Accepted Answer

Nope. It’s a “you had to be there” situation. Grab a seat, take notes, and soak up the wisdom while you can.

Question 9

Will there be any discounted or free tickets?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but only if you’re lucky. We run giveaways on our socials, so keep your eyes peeled and your clicking finger ready.

Question 10

If I leave, can I get back in again that day?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We’ll stamp your hand on the way in. Just don’t wash it off, we’ve seen it happen.

Question 11

Who can I contact with additional questions?

Accepted Answer

Email us at info@tinyhouseexpo.co.nz. We’ll get back to you quicker than you can say “composting toilet.”

Question 12

Will there be speed dating?

Accepted Answer

No. But you never know, you might meet someone while admiring the same clever fold-down table. Love works in mysterious ways.
