LOVE DANCING ZEN
"As A Creative, This Space Was The Perfect Container To Work, Rest And Play In. The Quality, Attention To Detail And Quirkiness Made It Feel Like An Immersive Experience, Not Just Somewhere To Stay.
Showering Under The Stars, Meditating Under The Disco Ball, And Yoga On The Deck Listening To Flowing Water Were A Few Of The Unique Standouts."
Amy
"Highly Recommend Melissa's Gorgeous Airbnb! The Space Is So Peaceful With Everything We Needed. Our Two Cavoodles Loved The Outdoor Space Which Was Extremely Dog Friendly And Safe For Them To Wander Around On Their Own. We Loved Our Stay So Much That We Extended By 2 Nights!"

"Such A Gem Of A Find For My Creative Getaway To Work On My Business. The Property Is Exceptionally Unique And So Well Thought Through. Loved All Of It."

MELISSA & COCO
A Creative Visionary, Melissa can see a finished work at the very beginning of the process. A professional choreographer for 20 years, Melissa is used to seeing the finished product in her mind before it has started.
Melissa became houseless after her partner left in 2018. Recovering from cancer treatment, Melissa was unable to work a conventional 9-5 job. Pushing 50 with little energy, Melissa had to find another way to exist in the world. Thanks to an inheritance from her Nonna and support from her Mum and Dad, she built Dancing Zen to have a space to create and rebuild.
Dancing Zen
DEFINITION: A MOVING MEDITATION
Dancing Zen was designed to provide a one of a kind, luxury getaway for business travellers who want to be near the beach but a short ride to the city. It’s for the couple who want time out and the artists who want to be inspired.
Melissa Stefano, Creative Visionary and Contessa Francesca, Interior Designer set out to create a space that transcends the standard container experience, focusing on how to inspire relaxation, playfulness, focus and creativity.
Stefano’s vision is to create a space to unblock artists, provide privacy and playfulness for entrepreneurs and intimacy for couples in love.
Whether you stay at Dancing Zen just because it is beautiful or because of the energy the space projects, know it is no mistake you landed here and we thank you for bringing your love into Dancing Zen.
ACCESSIBILITY
We wanted so much to provide an equal space for everyone. I can personally promise you wheelchair access to the deck is 100% possible because I have installed a ramp. Unfortunately there is a ridge getting into the containers and wheelchairs won’t make it in, just because of the size of the containers.
