Peace and quiet and nature at its best

It’s all in the Title, absolutely enjoyable in every way. Cannot fault anything at all. Would recommend to anyone who wants to walk with The wild life at its finest. Relaxing on the veranda was so nice, peaceful and private. Read a book and relax so easily managed. Plenty of birds were all around every afternoon, thy were friendly and loved to eat the bird feed when it was sprinkled around the ground. There were water bowls in the front and back yards for the birds to drink from and some birds splashed around in.

About the host

Hosted by Shelley

My family has lived on the island for 26 years and I always enjoyed visiting them, the ferry ride, the birds and wildlife, the fresh air and escaping the 'rat race', so I bought this tiny home as my special place.

Why they chose this property

I'm an advocate of tiny homes and this one is made from a 40 foot shipping container and is very liveable especially with the bifold doors onto the deck bringing the outside into the home.

What makes this property unique

In a tiny home every item must be carefully selected to enable full enjoyment of the space and versatility and be uncluttered. The home has a 5 Star Building Energy Rating including insulated ceiling, walls and floor, double glazed tinted windows with ceiling fans in the bedroom and family room.
