GRAND SOJOURNER Starting price $110,000
To ‘sojourn’ means to rest, abide, dwell or stay. It’s about having a break from the journey, to be refreshed. There is an element of temporariness to it which we feel is captured by the relocatable nature of our homes. You can stop awhile, & move on in your own time, taking your resting place with you.
*The Grand is our most versatile model.
The 3 bed or multi-purpose rooms (1 dowstairs & 2 lofts), lend themselves to an array of possibilities. Downstairs can be master bedroom, kids bedroom (with space for bunks/desks/cupboards, study etc. Likewise, both lofts can be utilised as bedrooms, study, additional living/entertainment room/study/storage. There is head height for a couch or to sit at a desk. We can include customised cupboards/shelves, purpose built beds or desks to make the Grand Sojourner your small but highly functional and luxurious home or guest space.

Focus on what’s important, deepen your family relationships by not escaping to separate corners of the house but by doing life together.

With the Grand Sojourner you don’t have to climb loft ladders but have a generous downstairs bedroom, with lofts available for guests or storage. With a murphy bed option to create space for craft/reading/hobby desk you can pursue the things you love, & with full relocatability you can park in your kid’s backyard, move somewhere else when it’s time & enjoy a high level of flexibility. You’ve also got ample storage space.
FAMILY OR GUEST ACCOMMODATION - With no DA council approval needed to park it behind your house for a member of your household, you can simply drive your Grand Sojourner Tiny House into your backyard and have a new, self-contained accommodation space ready to use.
