About this house rental
--About This Space--
Nestled in the heart of Oxfordshire, The Headington Shark House isn't just accommodation; it's a dive into a piece of living art history.

--Experience Oxford from a Local Landmark--

--A Story to Share--
The Shark House stands as a testament to creativity, freedom, and the voice against conformity. Erected by my late father, Bill Heine, and sculptor John Buckley, it sparked a national debate on public art and personal expression. Today, it invites you to ponder its deeper meanings or simply enjoy its whimsical defiance.
--Book Your Stay at the Shark House--
Ideal for: Family vacations, group stays, and those seeking an unforgettable lodging experience.
Special Requests: Feel free to reach out for arrangements like baby cots, high chairs, or any additional needs.
From the moment you step inside, the Shark House offers more than just a place to stay - it offers stories to tell and memories to make. Whether it's the history, the controversy, or the sheer novelty that draws you in, we promise an experience that's anything but ordinary.
--Note from Magnus Hanson-Heine--
As your host and part of the family that brought the Shark into existence, I'm here to ensure your stay is as comfortable and memorable as possible. The Shark House is more than just a rental; it's a piece of my family history, and I'm delighted to share it with you. Whether you're here to explore Oxford or simply escape the ordinary, welcome to a home that celebrates the unexpected at every turn.
