GORGE-OUS! In simplicity, style, comfort; the scenery! YOWZA! The bathroom - OOOH! LA! LA! Digging the platform bed! YES! PLEASE!! Best of everything in your endeavors!!

[@MrVillabolo]

The idea of having a village made up of tiny homes is something that resonates with me. I thought I was alone in imagining that.

[@TinyHomeTours]

It does sound like a wonderful way to live in community. We're glad they are becoming more and more popular! 😊

[@KarlPlesz]

You are def not alone in imagining that. I have a friend who had a property in a beautiful treed valley and I tried to convince him to build a circle of tiny homes to rent out to travelers and folks seeking to stay in the mountains of western Canada. I pictured a nice fire pit and seating area at the edge of the trees.

[@frenchartantiquesparis424]

It already exists in the USA.... Tiny Home Communities all over.

[@Kristenoyinbo]

We need this in Australia as housing is unaffordable for so many people it's a joke the cost of land and housing here

[@randizzleforshizzle9957]

If it was an actual community. Like maybe a part of town that is cited for tiny homes and plots of land sold for this. Otherwise it would be a trailer park and I despise them. Even though you own your home you don't own the land it sits on. You have to follow their usually obnoxious rules Otherwise you'd be evicted. But your home is still on their property. I don't like the idea of not owning the land you're living on. To me it's the same concept as renting an apartment.

[@annekedeklerk552]

This is the very first Tiny House Feature made in SA that I have seen! I am from CT and also very interested in Tiny Home Living.

[@AdineP]

If you have solar panels, how come load sharing affects your ability to use your induction stove?

[@KATSPF]

Thank you.

[@davis51369]

It seems like a lot of these channels are becoming airbnb ads instead of homes

[@sueteran]

Exactly. I watch these to see how people live in them not rent them.

[@NiiJiiLuv]

Exactly everyone trying to sell someone something.

[@seasonprice4567]

I feel the same way. I like seeing how people live in their builds 30, 60, 200 days after they move in. I want to know what they would do differently based on living in the space.

[@UN_UrbanNomad66]

True 😅

[@pattykweram2391]

Yeah, this one doesn't look lived in.

[@liliethshaw6782]

So beautiful love everything ❤️ 💕 perfect

[@jenp5413]

love seeing South Africa homes!

[@TinyHomeTours]

Glad you're enjoying the tours! It's definitely fun to see tiny homes from around the world. 🤗

[@joannedobkin3363]

I think what I liked best was the light coming inside only I’m sure you need netting to keep bugs out and the bathroom space. The shower looks amazing.

[@joanneganon7157]

I love the color and the black tile. Very nice option to open up and enjoy the beautiful views 🎉. JO JO IN VT 💞🎅

[@aviajarehema7393]

Very nicely constructed together for a tiny house.

[@myrnagutierrez6486]

I like the set up, dont have to crawl to bed but it is best if there will be a trellis to separate bed from dining.

[@GG-qy2wy]

Gorgeous home!! Love the bathroom! Perfectly decorated. 💕

[@juliej5917]

Just so beautifully designed!🎉

[@limespider8]

Who owns the land? And who else lives in the house, and in the tiny house beside you? As a fellow South African, safety when living alone with lots of land around you, is always a real concern. Lovely home in beautiful surroundings! I wish more of us lived this way.

[@xolilethusini997]

many people live like this. its called informal settlement. but the level of style is higher but you should see them they are improving. R 500 000 is too expensive .

[@Tasha_Russia]

Красиво...стильно....отлично....спасибо....привет из России....Beautiful...stylish....excellent....thank you....hello from Russia....

[@Karo27007]

The view! Stunning! 😮😍😍😍✨

[@rogertemple7193]

Another really nice tiny house with a very good setup inside and outside Thanks and Merry Christmas.🏘️🏘️

[@meridethhendry5733]

This absolutely gorgeous! So beautiful! The windows make it so light and bright. Brilliant!

[@suezaple4950]

Loving the floor plan well laid out for sure the large windows for the light and that awesome view. stylish bathroom love the idea of growing herbs in the shower very cool .love her way of thinking re tiny homes ... well done!

[@kathymiller9462]

The most AMAZING design I've seen yet. Just STUNNING.

[@haf2567]

I am always shocked at the cost of this tiny homes just with $25,000 I could have me own dream home how interested in the world is put it is a lovely and well proportional tiny home build.

[@shelly410]

Love this. I'm curious how you keep out mosquitos and other insects when your accordion doors are completely open as they are in this video.

[@kentuckylucky5762]

I've noticed that in many of these tiny houses esp in australia and new zealabd..must not have bugs😂 lol

[@lisetteem588]

in australia lol.... i think in qld some ppl cope with bugs? i heard of some houses with no windows in the rainforrest.. id die literally, and yes i know what it means. they use out dooor fogger curtains, nets or hidden screens? or dont live there for real except in winter? @@kentuckylucky5762

[@kanyisantombini8793]

Hey! I am South African. The mosquitos are not that mad. In the city I barely notice them throughout the summer. When I go to the countryside where my village is located there are quite a few. I think it's from the manure from the livestock. I usually just buy a cream for bites but we do not have screens. Very few houses in SA have screens. I never knew about them until I started watching American shows. Don't take my word for it though! We are very weird people in this country lol. Like most houses don't have air conditioning. Only rich people do. I was so shocked when I watched American shows and normal people had air-conditioning. We just suffer through the heat🤣

[@shelly410]

@kanyisantombini8793 Thank you! Yes. Mosquitos and other biting bugs are a real pest here in the USA. We are very fortunate to have screens! I used to live in the northeastern part of the US and had no air conditioning, but here in the hot, humid South, I find it to be a real blessing. Sending virtual hugs to you! Hoping you can find ways to cool off on the hottest days. God bless!

[@purpleheronZANV]

And bugs come in at nighttime….

[@juanasanchez6172]

Look beautifully and vey practical. I love it

[@lynettemaritz5653]

Beautiful little home. Love it

[@moonchild7456]

This is phenomenally beautiful! I only wonder about letting in the bugs when you have the beautiful front panels open. Oh my gosh--heaven!

[@ej3016]

bugs and … 🤷‍♀️

[@helentaylor7132]

Even in the U.S. (lower northeast) the biting bugs aren't much of a problem when the sun is out and/or it's breezy. It depends on the year--some are worse than others.

[@lisetteem588]

She is so informative and no bs.. straight to it.. love it.. i dont like black toilets, cleaning and if it's flooding...a baboon lock.. oh my. not sure if herbs in a shower are hygeinc to eat...shame about the cooktop, but if you cant do solar... its a beautiful home and a clever design. i love it, xxx also the price. this is more like the tiny home ethos.

[@bigfamilyexpedition]

You've done an amazing job! Looks so good! I love the big windows! ❤️

[@totalpkgproductions2797]

Totally Awesomely Amazing...Looking forward to this journey of tiny living, and hopefully experience your services and or consultation in the near future. Thank you for bringing such fresh creativity and imagination. 💜

[@Channel-ld9ip]

Beautiful, thoughtful space. And, ahh, if indeed we could just check our phones to see how much life we've got left. ;)

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi, thank you for sharing about your tiny home I absolutely love it. I think that’s all you need to live in. I’ve got a three bedroom house and I only use the lounge room, dining room and kitchen. I don’t even use the other three bedrooms they just become junk rooms

[@TinyHomeTours]

It's amazing how little we really need to live well! Glad you enjoyed Yulande's tour!

I’m sorry did she say baboon? And if so, she’s only worried about them coming through the bathroom window and not right through the open front door? 😂

[@karenmays8889]

Beautiful home. With the doors open, what do you do about bugs and dust? Seems like that might be a problem unless the doors are shut most of the time.

[@tynillemeiring9961]

Hierdie wooning is so ongelooflik,die mooi afronding is hemels❤

[@scotlandredd6134]

You didn’t discuss land rent and prices

[@purpleheronZANV]

What windows do you keep open when you go to bed at night, stacking doors are fine in perfect weather and no baboons around, but additional windows would be good?

[@UkeOne]

Simplicity...YES! I'm sure we all need to reevaluate what we actually need to live comfortably. This home is exactly that: HOME!

[@stevebeing]

Its like lekker!

[@dianetm8557]

Beautiful house. I’m confused about the having no electricity at times (reason to eliminate induction ) yet she has solar. Perhaps she doesn’t make enough electricity?

[@57waterlily]

I love, love your tiny house! ! gorgeous!

[@5thdimension625]

What a lovely space. Less is more. We just traveled extensively through Asia and I want to live Airbnb style. Less is so much more simple and allows me to have experiences instead of dealing with all of my stuff

[@flyinhawaiian7226]

This would have been incredible in white and wheat. Small spaces look and larger in white.

[@sophiedupre9375]

Very nice xxx

[@carlasienna8683]

Hi, you have a nice house. Where did you get you work/eating table?

[@TinyHomeTours]

It's a great table setup! Not sure where Yulande found it, but you can certainly reach out to her directly via Facebook or Instagram @tinyhomeafrica 😊

Move that plant and box by your stove and put in your L shape counter with 2 chairs. Eliminate your dinning table and open it up. Great lil video

Can you set it up not to move how about in Florida with the hurricanes is it safe. Can you set it up here?

[@ioannavoudouri308]

❤❤😊🙏❤😊

[@latonyalee7821]

This is what a tiny house means to me. I'm not a fan of those that look like large house in a small package (a lot of expensive built-ins and overpriced materials). The only thing I would change is the bathroom colors. I prefer light, but this is beautiful.

[@2OGsInDa904]

I wanna know what it's like actually living in them and what one might do differently to make it an easier way of living in it! I mean i love what everybody's doing with them but . What about after you've been in it awhile..

[@voulieav]

Looool "moving to the dining room" Turns round.... Artistic licence on par with an estate agent

[@Sand24]

So do you have to rent the space it's on?

[@TinyHomeTours]

Many folks do end up renting a place to park whether it's a spot in a mobile home park, on a privately owned piece of land or in a tiny home community. 😊

[@twalsh1801]

i like the corrugated exterior

[@Mike-xe4fk]

Where on earth can you keep your doors and windows open without a bug screen? Please, let me know, I'm moving there.

[@sylviebeauchamp3162]

En France par exemple. Chez moi j'ai une baie vitrée à galandage de 4m. On peut l'ouvrir en été. Pas de moustiquaires, il n'y en a quasiment nulle part en France. Il faut fermer seulement quand la nuit tombe si vous allumez les lumières. 😊

[@analea6531]

The design is gorgeous but she obviously doesn’t live there, we can see the next unit so that’s a staged rental and it’s okay just a little deceiving to act like this is her everyday reality. If this is an ad for her Airbnb business or the building company it’s ethical to disclose that

[@TinyHomeTours]

Totally hear where you're coming from and appreciate the feedback! It's not our desire to be deceiving at all-- Yulande does rent this tiny out on Air BnB while she travels and builds other tinies. However, she does live in it between trips etc. The house you can see in the background is actually a full sized house on the same property.

[@frenchartantiquesparis424]

Yeah, sounded like an Infocommercial to me.

[@helentaylor7132]

She DID disclose all that! Her business logo was right there on the end window. She also said she travels between various locations and packs light. She also explained what her background was and what she is doing now. I had trouble catching every thing she said due to her speaking fast (for me) and her accent. Yet, I thought she gave a lot of information, and showing us most of what she was talking about. She even mentioned that although tiny houses can be moved, it's a bit of work (and most likely money) to set up in a new location. I appreciated her detail and honesty. She lives there when she wants to or needs to and otherwise rents it out. Did you fall asleep or something?

[@alantracy6757]

A tiny home on a massive estate ..makes sense … ?

[@TinyHomeTours]

Definitely all comes down to personal preference and priorities. For many, tiny homes are a way to build a house more affordably and have everything you need, while also encouraging you to spend more time outside and enjoy the beauty around you. 😊

[@amaliyadipita6906]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@julesw1403]

Did I hear her say she has “Baboon locks” on the bathroom windows? Wow!

Yup. Lol. That’s parts of South Africa for you. But you get used to it. It’s ot like it happnes all the time. We live on *thier* land.

[@saltystoatmedia4623]

I don’t mind when a channel exclusively features AirBnBs, but I do prefer to see Tiny Homes that people actually live in. It honestly feels not relatable when people are building for income, as opposed to those who might build because of income or a minimal lifestyle.

Where is the couch and TV? A living area where you can curl up on the couch and read a book or watch TV would be super helpful. The bed takes up way too much space with the platform around it. No oven, no air fryer, seems like very minimalist ….

You can get in touch with Yulande about this build and other available models at: www.tinyhome.africa 😊

Oh my gosh, if she says "minimalist" once more, I will throw up. I am not minimalist in everything, just in clothing and kitchenware but I would love a tiny house.

[@amandajones4549]

You really don’t have to be minimalist to live tiny!

[@TinyHomeTours]

It's totally a choose your own adventure type of thing! Some folks love living tiny and minimally, others keep a "maximalist" vibe as they downsize. 😊 So fun to see the different personalities and ways folks make it work.

[@marieneu264]

[@sarinaglover3712]

This is a really good house but I have to say I disagree anyhow you have to keep tidy I mean you don't want to live in filth and who was it who decided you have to be a minimalist to live in a tiny home there are plenty of tiny homes that people are not minimalist and you do realize you can have accessory dwellings like sheds and things of that nature to keep things in as you need them I'm sorry but I'm not going to be living this life or I'm borrowing everything from Neighbors and such I'm not doing that I want my own I want to be autonomous and independent
