  • Escape the city and hustle and bustle of Singapore life with a Tiny Away stay on Lazarus Island. We took a short 15 minute boat ride from Marina South Pier and enjoyed a weekend off the grid!
    Clear beaches, soft sand and a chance to just rest and play together was just what we needed. The best part was that we didn't have to leave the island for the last boat home as we were staying in one of the Tiny Away Escape homes which has everything you need for a night away.
    When the rest of the islanders were leaving or pitching their tent for the night we went for a sunset walk before heading back to the cool of the a/c inside our compact home for the night. It may be small but with a bathroom, full size shower (with amazing hot water and good pressure), mini kitchen with all you need for a nights meal, a double bed And a pull out sofa for the kids it was perfect.
    After making smores' inside on the electric bbq we snuggled down to watch a movie on Netflix.
    The next day we had an amazing speed boat ride planned but before that Milo and I cooked bacon outside whilst Jonty and Aspen went to check out the beach before the first boat arrived on the island.
    The speed boat ride was incredible!!
    You'll just have to watch the video for the full experience!!

    Happy Birthday Aspen ! Am laughing at Millie's "No Comment" on your Bond dreams .... she definitely knows how to pick her battles !! But "Tan ...... Jonty Tan" could be a video in the future, perhaps unravelling some Singapore mystery.
    Thank you for this totally fun video, the Islands look so gorgeous and the rare quiet, no crowds very attractive, this video might've booked out those Tiny Houses for the next few months. Even with your family of four, it looked comfortable, not cramped and that Bacon Breakfast a real hit. Am a huge fan of Bryce Langston's channel Living Big in a Tiny House, the beautiful Tinies and the amazing lifestyle of the people he features.
    Aida.

      I think I’d enjoy those programmes too, I’ll have to look them up. I watched a series called George Clarkes Tiny homes. Also showed how sometimes we just have so much “stuff” we don’t really need and can live in smaller spaces with some good planning and resourcefulness.

    Aww! Jonty is like few years too late in starring in a James Bond flick. James Bond did a film in Singapore. Can’t remember which one but it was with Sean Connery I think. That’s what my late dad told me. He and my late uncle went to the Bidadari, yes that Bidadari with the new flats back in the 60s/70s. They were filming at the church in the cemetery. That’s what I was told. You might need to check all the films 😅

Do I still purchase are round trip ticket on the same day then buy another ticket at the Lazarus pier on the day that I'll be back? Do I need to book that in advance?
