Welcome to Rose Cottage!
After packing my life into a backpack and living in areas without much personal space I started to understand what I really needed in life. My tiny home is a collaboration of everything I learnt travelling the world.
I realised back when I was working on yachts that my values were changing and there were a few new things I valued most that weren’t getting met where I was. Having my own space to create and heal (and walk around naked), living more connected to the land and the seasons and having all the right material things I needed to support the lifestyle I wanted to cultivate were becoming more important than travel. I moved to Queenstown in 2020 and my healing journey began, letting go of this huge chapter of being on the move to grounding myself and immersing in my passions.
After a year of Queenstown living I was lead to Aaron who put so much love into building my home with Maria which took about 5 months. Now my home is parked up 45 minutes into the mountains from Queenstown. She’s on wheels so I can take her anywhere. All of her systems are simple for easy connection wherever she goes. I wanted her adaptable inside incase I wanted to use the space for something else down the track so everything in the bed half of the home can be taken out. It’s been a lot of fun slowly understanding how I want the space to flow and then creating. In her first year she has already been moved twice, had bed bugs, held 2 Covid patients, held a lot of healing conversations and taken the extremes of snow to scorching hot sun. Loving living in her.
The Journey






I was handed the keys to my home on the anniversary of my cousin Sophie Rose’s death who was 9 when she passed. Her death was the life changing moment that I realised that I didn’t want to live life the way I was and left Australia to start opening my mind to ways of living in other parts of the world.
This home is a dedication to her.
Rose is the plant of unconditional love and the heart opener for heart healing. She is the protector, so beautiful with a sweet scent yet hard to touch covered in thorns. She is the strong feminine. This home was set with the intention to heal the hearts of anyone who walks inside.
