The Floating Terrarium is a short stay accommodation canal barge made and designed by the owner, Mia. The unique boat is filled to the brim with beautiful greenery (150 plants!) and can sleep up to 4 guests with one double bedroom and one double bed futon. The vessel is 52ft x 10ft and will be available to rent across all 4 seasons for 2-3 day short lettings via the Airbnb app. The boat runs off grid in the summer, spring and autumn months. The boat concept is all around sustainable ways of living, the eco conscious ways include, compoost toilet and having limited electrical gadgets on board, no oven but there is access to an induction hob and airfryer. No parties allowed.
Hackney wick has an amazing night life, tranquil walks to the marshes and along the canal as well as very close to Stratford and the Olympic park.
