A DIY whizz built an iconic Beatles-inspired yellow submarine tiny home as a side hustle and now makes a fortune from renting it as an Airbnb.
Located in the middle of a New Zealand forest, this quirky mini-rental is packed with colour and has an impressive interior.
The Beatles-themed yellow submarine was built by a man named Keith Lovelock who pulled together scraps of an old grain silo, spa bath and milking shed to create his masterpiece.
In an interview with the YouTube account Living Big In A Tiny House, Keith said that he was inspired to build the home after "sitting in a yellow café in Wellington".
Six months after he was hit with the idea, his wife Jen found some scrap parts which he then used to create the tiny house - and the fiberglass grain silo cost the pair just 80p.

But even though the tiny-home was never originally a submarine, it has been built in a way that resembles an authentic underwater craft.
According to Keith's Airbnb posting, the submarine can be entered via a ramp where visitors will be met with a bulkhead door, portholes and a galley.
The Victorian steampunk lounge is filled with nautical references from sea-captain hats to little fish dotted across the walls.
Beatles-related items can also be seen in the living space - with a mannequin that seems to resemble John Lennon.
Keith admitted that the mannequin had even scared a few guests while they stayed in the submarine.
There are two double beds in the living room which allows the Airbnb to house four guests comfortably.
Next, visitors have access to a periscope that they can travel up to reach the "control/bridge".
This is essentially the bedroom area which has two double bunk beds and a bizarre amount of nautical treasures.
The roof of the bedroom is made from the old spa tub which Keith explained was unusable due to a massive crack in the material.
"Well it was just lying around and was unusable," he said, "so where the jets were is now where we have portholes".

From blue and white striped bedding, to the makeshift portholes for windows, it's hard to imagine that the vessel hasn't been plucked straight from the ocean.
Further along the inside of the whimsical tiny-home is a Beatles- themed bathroom with a caution-taped toilet lid, "escape hatch" and brass piping - giving it an authentic mechanical feel.
Keith explained that the shower is "actually made out of half a plastic suitcase," and even told how he used the other half in another tiny home build so no materials went to waste.
