Where can I park my Oculus?

In NSW, you can park up to 2 tiny homes on any land with an approved dwelling or DA. One can be used for full-time living, or two for short-term occupancy. A tiny home on wheels is exempt from Airbnb registration.

Does a Tiny Home require approval?

Generally, no. A tiny home is treated like a caravan. Councils vary in their approach, but if it's connected to services and placed appropriately, approval is usually not an issue.

Who designed The Oculus?

Architect Hayley Pryor designed The Oculus in collaboration with Retreat House founder and builder Chris King.

What’s included inside The Oculus?

The Oculus includes built-in joinery, a kitchenette, bathroom, architectural lighting, and integrated storage.

How much does The Oculus cost?

Pricing depends on selections and delivery location. Contact Retreat House for the latest brochure and pricing guide.

Where is The Oculus built?

Each Oculus is built by Chris King Constructions in the Byron Bay region of Northern NSW.

How is electricity and water connected?

Electricity is via a 15amp lead, and water is connected via hose fitting. Gas uses a 9kg swap bottle.

Is The Oculus insulated?

Yes — The Oculus includes R1.5 insulation for year-round comfort.

What makes The Oculus a sustainable choice?

The Oculus features passive design, low-energy fittings, and natural, durable materials — all reducing footprint and resource use.

Do I need council approval in Australia?

Planning regulations vary by state and council. Tiny homes like The Oculus are often considered moveable dwellings, but always check with your local authority.
