If I ever decide to live in a tiny house, I want something spacious, fully functional, and stylish within reason. Maybe that is why I look for models between 25 and 30 feet, which always fit the bill. My search led me to the foundry of Tiny Solar Homes, an Australian company that builds models of the same configuration. One such dwelling, in discussion today, is the Wanda tiny house on wheels.
The Wanda tiny house combines the charm of minimalism with the luxury of spacious living, creating a dwelling that’s both functional and comfortable. The modern aesthetic and high-end features the mobile home offers further strengthen my favor for it. I will discuss all these aspects in detail, but first, let’s talk about the exterior of the mobile home.
The Wanda tiny house is built on a robust aluminum trailer frame, which is rust-free and strong, ensuring durability. It comes poised on a triple-axle trailer and has termite-resistant timber framing, offering a solid and secure structure. The clever design incorporates aluminium C-section wall frames, allowing insulation in every corner for improved energy efficiency and temperature control. “To protect against pests and moisture, the underside of the trailer is completely sheathed. Additionally, the house comes equipped with 10 heavy-duty drop-down legs, making it easy to level the home without needing piers,” informs the maker.
Looking at the exterior, the Wanda boasts architectural aluminum wall cladding, which requires no maintenance, painting, or rust treatment. The design is complemented by commercial-grade windows and a large sliding door that enhances indoor-outdoor connectivity. For added airflow, a louvre window in the bathroom is also included. Every window is fitted with fly screens so there won’t be any pesky things bothering you. Akin to traditional tiny homes in Australia, the Wanda’s roof features a sandwich-panel insulated system, coupled with V-groove ceilings, contributing to both the aesthetic and thermal efficiency of the home.
The tiny house features a living room, bedroom, kitchen, and a bathroom. Starting with the living room, it comes equipped with a convertible sofa that can sleep a single person with ease, if not two. I like the fact that the maker has made the living room spacious and hasn’t added any furnishing because furniture (if not multifunctional) really ends up cramping the space.
Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen of the tiny house. The kitchen is full-sized and designed for cooking enthusiasts. It features a couple of stone countertops and high-end Fisher & Paykel appliances, including a dishwasher drawer, oven, four-burner cooktop, and a slide-out rangehood. Not to mention a range of drawers and other storage options. As per the maker, “The kitchen comes prewired for an antenna and power points, ensuring you’re ready to set up your entertainment options.” Well, this is why I spotted a TV there.

A little ahead is the bathroom of the tiny house. The bathroom features a full-sized shower with a glass shower screen alongside polyurethane cabinetry for the laundry. It also includes a stone benchtop that offers space for a washing machine, while a vanity with a semi-recessed bowl and a flushing toilet adds style and functionality to the house.
The bedroom is at the end of the house and sleeps two people with ease. It includes polyurethane cabinetry for customized storage, including cupboard doors, shelves, and hanging space. The Wanda doesn’t skimp on additional features. The home includes speakers mounted in the cabinetry with Bluetooth connectivity for easy audio control. A high-end Daikin bulkhead air conditioning system is included, providing efficient cooling throughout the home.
For people like me, who are seeking a truly off-the-grid experience, the Wanda tiny house comes equipped with a solar system. The roof houses 3.5 kW of solar panels with an optional 5.1 kWh of additional battery storage. The system is powered by a 6 kW inverter, allowing you to run multiple appliances simultaneously. At the time of writing, I am not clear about how much this tiny home would cost, but with such high-end features, don’t expect it to come at a bargain basement.
