The Opuha Cottage
What Makes This Plan Special:
The Opuha Cottage is a cute and cozy two bedroom transportable holiday home, crafted from sustainably grown New Zealand timber. Not only is it warm and healthy to live in, but it is also carbon negative thanks to the carbon sequestration properties of the timber. The interlocking timber system makes it earthquake proof, while the single material construction ensures low maintenance. The large sliding windows provide ample indoor-outdoor flow, making it perfect for enjoying the beautiful surroundings. With its classic farm style cottage design is a great option for those looking for a low maintenance, sustainable and earthquake-proof holiday home.
