Construction of the hotel started in 2023 with the renovation of the storage barn and the addition of an angled second storey for three of the hotel's five bedrooms. The cosy boutique hotel reflects Joanne's vibrant personality and love for adventure with vibrant interiors and vintage objets. Each space of the hotel has been curated and designed to reflect a chapter in Joanne's life.
