About Big Tiny
Inspired by a holiday down Australia’s Great Ocean Road, Big Tiny was founded in 2017, with ecotourism as its ethos. Big Tiny builds tiny houses on wheels, which are parked in the great outdoors and can be rented out for tourists’ accommodation. Big Tiny hopes to give urbanites the experience of waking up amidst Mother Nature, while also contributing to the livelihood of rural landowners.
