“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.”— Fleur

“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”— Rebekah

"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."— Thomas, Emma and family

"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!"— Ann

"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."-John

"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!"— Sarah, Phil & Whanau
"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.”-Sophie & Kate
"Ruru Tiny Homes are made out of New Zealand Made materials. For us, this is the only way forward and a crucial point for our investment. From their building quality, company ethics, and friendly staff (who are always smiling when you visit!) to the finish of the homes, they are just outstanding and by far the best we saw, and we saw a lot!— Hannah and James
"A heartfelt thank you to Ruru Tiny Homes for making our tiny home dreams come true, bro! They skillfully handled council uncertainties, turning potential roadblocks into stepping stones towards our beautiful, hassle-free home on wheels." -Mark
"I have been in and out of rentals for years, then secured a huge mortgage over a house that made me a slave to the interest rates. Finally, I decided to let go and sold the house. The remaining money I invested in a Ruru tiny home. Fran and the team helped me find leased land to place it on, and I am now living debt-free in my own house. While small, it is all I need, and I would never want to go back to anything else."-Joe
"We have been so impressed by our ruru, and we are just amazed by its warmth. Due to its size, we didn't think it would keep its warmth, but thanks to the heat pump (which can even run on our solar system!), we have had so many nice weekends in our tiny Bach in Golden Bay this winter and feel like we can finally enjoy the section for the first time since we've had it."
