Member Story- Maddison

Maddison & Kyle in their Pinterest-worthy new Tiny Home in South Australia, on a rental property sourced by ParkMyTinyHouse.

When we put the call out recently and asked what you guys want to see more of on our social media- many of you wanted to hear about members who had found land through us.

One such member is Maddison. Together with partner Kyle and their two gorgeous kiddos, this young family have a rather different story!

A few years back, they downsized in a big way and lived the van life, travelling and exploring around this beautiful country to work out where they wanted to settle. After two years, they were well and truly across off-grid living, its joys and the many challenges associated with doing van life with a toddler!

Once they learned they were expecting their second baby, they knew the time was right to put down roots and finally live their longed-for Tiny House dream.

For Maddison’s family, their biggest priority was to enjoy those precious first few years of their children’s lives. Financially, this required them to lower their overheads so they could thrive on one income, allowing Maddison to be a fully present, stay at home mum.

A Tiny House was the logical choice for them.

For most people, transitioning to Tiny House life equates to a downsize- but for Maddison this was going to be a huge upgrade!

With a builder in the family, their glorious self-built Tiny started to take shape in 2024.

Following our advice, they chose our “Apply for Listings” membership option around 6 months from their intended completion date.

Only a few months into their membership, the perfect site in SA came up. After applying for our listing and meeting the host, it was a match made in heaven, and a lease was signed shortly after!

Their almost-ready Tiny House was moved onsite in October while the finishing touches were added- and as you can see, the completed home is an absolutely swoon-worthy space just perfect for their little family.

This lifestyle will also give them the ability to save for their own land so they can eventually create their very own permanent homestead vision.

But our big question for Maddison- how does it feel now you’re actually in your own Tiny Home?

“It’s so crazy, actually being all done and living Tiny life and just doing exactly what we’ve dreamed of for so, so long! Thank you SO much for the very important piece you played in the puzzle of helping us find the beautiful land that we are on!” - Maddison

People like Maddison are the exact reason we do what we do.

But in all the excitement when people move into their new Tiny Houses, it’s so rare we get to see the end result- so imagine my excitement when Maddison’s home popped up on Living Big in a Tiny House this weekend!

Congratulations Maddison and Kyle for taking the leap of faith and creating a truly delightful place for your babies to grow up, in an absolutely breathtaking part of South Australia.
