**Best Unique Stay Finalist 2022!** Belafonte II is a vintage 30 ft yacht - retired from her ocean voyages & lovingly transformed into a uniquely beautiful tiny-house style hideaway perched in a beautiful garden beside a forest. Her rural setting is a 5min drive from Mullumbimby Village where you'll find a great choice of cafes & shops. We wish you a soothing experience of land-sailing into uncharted waters of blissful relaxation in your boat-home away from home! Breakfast supplies are included. Belafonte II is fully self-contained & offers a quirky yet comfortable tiny-house style experience. Set on our 3 acre rural property, under a huge protective bamboo grove, surrounded by bushland - wake to the sound of birds. Cosy & welcoming, the Belafonte II has been lovingly transformed & thoughtfully handcrafted with French doors on both sides of the boat leading to extended covered decks, shower & toilet. Surrounded by your own private courtyard area, you have all the amenities you need for a soothing & relaxing stay. Other things to note... Late August to mid-September is firefly season & you will see these magical little creatures flitting around the Belafonte II in the garden at dusk around this time of year. The galley style kitchen is equipped with all the basics, including a gas stove, microwave, small fridge, coffee machine, coffee pods, teas, cookies, cereal, bread, butter, local raw organic honey, milks and of course...chocolate! The Belafonte II is ideal for singles or couples, & is a wonderfully inspiring & peaceful retreat space for writers, artists, yoga & meditation. The toilet is a modern-design eco-friendly composting toilet. If you are new to composting toilets, the only difference is that instead of flushing after use, you just put a bit of sawdust in. This simple and safe system works in harmony with the environment. Mobile reception can be limited here, depending on your carrier. There is Wifi and a Smart TV (but no free-to-air TV available). Inside the Belafonte II is strictly non-smoking. If you choose to smoke outside, please use the ashtray provided. We allow candles, but for your safety we request that you only use the candle provided & please never leave it unattended.
