Frequently asked questions
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.
Sorry, no. Only registered service animals are allowed inside (venue rules).
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.
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.
Absolutely. We’ve got coffee carts and food trucks on-site, so you can fuel up between house-hopping.
Nope. It’s a “you had to be there” situation. Grab a seat, take notes, and soak up the wisdom while you can.
Yes, but only if you’re lucky. We run giveaways on our socials, so keep your eyes peeled and your clicking finger ready.
Yes. We’ll stamp your hand on the way in. Just don’t wash it off — we’ve seen it happen.
Yes, but buying online is faster. Door sales are for people who like queues (and we don’t judge… much).
Email us at info@tinyhouseexpo.co.nz. We’ll get back to you quicker than you can say “composting toilet.”
No. But you never know, you might meet someone while admiring the same clever fold-down table. Love works in mysterious ways.
For the 2025 Expo, onsite motorhome parking isn’t available. We’re actively reviewing options for future expos, but there’s no onsite provision this year.
