What clients are saying.

  • Fleur

    “We absolutely love it, it feels like the house has a personality and we miss it when we’re away. You did an amazing job designing and building it. Lily, James and I are going away for winter and I’m so grateful we have a home we can lock up and leave easily and we’ll have our wonderful home to come back to.”

    "Ruru Tiny Homes made our dream of a building consent-free tiny home a reality! Their expertise in navigating our council regulations left us stress-free, and now we have our perfect home on wheels."

  • Rebekah

    “We LOVE our Ruru. The footprint is tiny but the space is so practical. The full height ceiling in the living area downstairs makes the whole house feel spacious and we find the number of windows on all sides of the house attract so much sun! Working with Ruru was very easy, we found Fran to be extremely knowledgeable. Regardless of the day or time she was always quick to respond whenever we had a question. Thank you so much for our first home”

  • Thomas & Emma

    "We purchased a Ruru tiny home to live in while we built our home. As a family of five, we found the perfect fit in the largest model from Ruru, featuring three bedrooms. It has been an amazing experience, and our children love spending time there. We feel fortunate to have such an amazing, comfortable, beautiful, and high-quality living space with impeccable finishing. Once our main house is ready, we will keep the tiny home onsite for our guests and visitors, providing them with private accommodation to stay with us for extended periods. Our tiny home is truly part of our family home."

    "The service at Ruru has been incredible! Fran and the team guided us through uncertainties, answered all questions, and were always available. They even allowed visits during different stages. They felt more like friends than a company. From viewing to delivery, they were there for us. Couldn't have chosen a better builder company. Honoured to get the new Kiwi model. Love the compact design with ample dining/lounge space. Thank you, Ruru, for being an amazing partner!"

    "I love my warm and cosy tiny house, it exceeds all my expectations. Its exceptional insulation, coupled with thoughtful design and craftsmanship, ensures that my Little Ruru is more than just a place to live—it's a sanctuary of warmth, comfort, and relaxation that rivals even the cosiest of normal-sized houses. As I live alone in my tiny, this aspect is particularly important to me. Additionally, I appreciate the ample space it provides for receiving visits and hanging out with friends and family. I'm so happy with my Little Ruru."

  • Sarah

    "We had a section on the West Coast unused for years due to limited builders and supply issues. Ruru tiny homes changed that. Now we spend every second weekend as a family, enjoying the stunning views and atmosphere. It's the perfect 'holiday' home—dry, warm, cosy, and comfortable, with a full kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms. It has everything we needed. It feels like a proper house, not one 'on wheels.' It's amazing!"

  • Sophie

    "We bought a Ruru after another Tiny House company failed to meet our planned delivery dates. Ruru has been on the spot with timings, pricing, and all promises they have made. They went above and beyond for us to ensure that even the third-party transport company was on time and juggled things around to make our move from the rental into the tiny home possible on the day we needed it, even though it was 750km away.”
