Epic Pirate Ship in the Trees: All Reclaimed!


This post contains affiliate links.

Wow! Check out this pirate ship in the trees!

This fun accommodation at Tanglewood Retreat in Waimauku, New Zealand was created from a 150 year old sailboat that was deemed un-seaworthy. Stace and her team took the boat, hoisted it into the trees, and transformed it with reclaimed materials into an epic getaway.

Up the spiral staircase you’ll find 129 square feet of pirate-themed fun, including a hidden rum compartment with a skull and crossbones. There’s a big seating area in the back, a cozy sleeping spot in the hull, and a skylight that gives you access to the deck.

Enjoy the amazing video tour from Living Big in a Tiny House below!

    At least, they won’t be worried about a major flood in their area.

    Cough, cough, that is NOT a sailing “ship” it is a sailing “boat.” A sailing ship would be at least twice as long…
