2025 has been a year of milestones for our team, our partners, and the growing Elsewhere Pods community. Whether you’ve followed us from the start or are just discovering us, here’s a look at what we achieved and what’s next.
Partnering with Industry Leaders
We’re proud to collaborate with brands that share our commitment to smart design and sustainable living. This year we expanded across multiple sectors:
-
Bureau Booths: Together, we reimagined the role of pods in outdoor workplaces and wellness zones across Australia.
-
Education Australia: A long-standing collaboration helping deliver soundproof learning, music, and meeting pods to schools, TAFEs and unis across the country.
-
Koala: As our preferred furnishings partner, Koala helped bring soft minimalism and comfort into our tiny home interiors, from sofas to sleep setups.
- Streaming Guys: We delivered a custom soundproof pod for events and content creators, helping people experience high-quality production environments first-hand. Read more about the partnership and unique modular build here.
What We Achieved
Elsewhere Pods became more than a product. It became a movement.
- Launched Elsewhere Eco-Resorts: Mid-year we introduced our own platform of bookable pod stays. From Byron Bay to Mornington Peninsula, these stays help people experience tiny homes before they buy with Elsewhere Eco-Resorts.
- THIA Awards Finalist: We were honored to be named a finalist for Best weekender at the Tiny House Industry Awards 2025. Read about our experience here.
- Joined ATHA: We officially became members of the Australian Tiny House Association, supporting safe, sustainable, and regulated modular housing.
- Split Shift Trailer System: A major update to our trailer design lets customers lower their tiny homes closer to the ground, improving aesthetics and comfort while still meeting permit exemptions. Read more about how it works here.

Product Line Expansion: From compact 2.7 metre pods to two storey double wides, we now offer more customisation than ever before. Read more about our first ever two storey tiny home in Kooralbyn here.
Now Available at Bunnings
One of our biggest moves this year? You can now find Elsewhere Pods at Bunnings.
We’ve launched two of our most popular sizes
- the compact 2.7 metre pod
- versatile 4 metre pod
on the Bunnings website, making it easier than ever to explore and buy an Elsewhere Pod.
These models are perfect for DIY setups and permit friendly installs. Whether it’s a backyard office, creative studio or guest space, these pods are built to go up fast, look good, and last.
Elsewhere Pods Now in New Zealand
In 2025 we quietly expanded across the Tasman. Our first installs and partner conversations are now underway in New Zealand. An exciting new chapter we cannot wait to unfold.
Looking Forward
Next year, we’ll double down on what matters most: expanding our Eco-Resorts network, deepening industry partnerships, and continuing to push the boundaries of modular construction. And of course, building beautiful tiny houses for incredible customers all across Australia and beyond.
To everyone who has supported us this year, thank you. Let’s keep building.
