Accommodation description
About this place
This is a historical shipyard dating back to the late 1800, with breathtaking views of the farm land and open skies. The Williams river is right at your door step. The property is called "The Old Shipyard" because of its heritage.
We have 2 tiny houses on our property. "The Clyde" is the other listing and sleeps 3 persons : https://www.airbnb.com.au/rooms/*****. If you would like to book both tiny houses for group bookings of up to 7 persons, please enquire with us for more info.

The space
With the Williams river banks lining the property fishing from the pontoon, swimming, canoeing, boating, all from the private boat ramp or simply sit in this peaceful location surrounded by green mountains open skies and the stunning Williams river at your feet. There are 2 kayaks down by the water that is free for guests to use. There will be life jackets for each.

The tiny house offers guests a comfortable stay with its well-equipped kitchenette complete with air-conditioning and heating. There is a queen sized bed up in the loft and a sofa bed on the ground floor, which can be opened up to a double bed size. It can sleep 2 adults (in the loft) and 2 child (on the sofa bed) comfortably.

Our bathroom facilities follow ecologically sustainable principles, including a waterless eco-friendly compost toilet, hand basin and shower (gas heated for hot showers). In Australia's severe climatic challenge of bush fires and drought, we help to save the environment by conserving water using an eco-friendly toilet. The toilet uses biological aerobic decomposition process, which should be odourless. It is waterless and there's no need to flush. A fan helps to provide aeration and aids in the aerobic decomposition process.

Guests will have access to the tiny house, the river and its surroundings except for owner's private residence. Guests will have access to our private pontoon and boat ramp and you can go fishing, canoeing, boating and swimming in the Williams river.
