Our expandable tiny homes are 40.2sq metres and come equipped with a range of amenities such as a spacious living room area, kitchen area complete with L-shaped cabinets, 1 – 4 bedrooms and a turnkey bathroom with a private shower fully equipped.
Additional features, such as hot and cold water inlets, grey water and waste outlets, 7 LED light fittings, and a silent exhaust fan vent in the bathroom, ensure you have all the comforts of modern living. Our Tiny homes also come with 8 double power sockets, all Australian standard.
Please note we recommend engaging a licensed electrician to set up your desired setup according to regulations as well as a fully qualified plumber.

Dongaroo tiny homes do not provide any of these services.
