You can spend the night in the Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine for the first time

SCOOBY-DOO fans now have the opportunity to stay in an AirBnb based on the hit children’s show for the first time.

To celebrate 20 years since Scooby-Doo: The Movie appeared, the actor Matthew Lillard – who played Shaggy in the film – will become the rental site’s latest celebrity host.

Guests will be able to live out their van-life dreams this summer like Shaggy and Scooby in the iconic Mystery Machine.

They can camp overnight in the space – featuring retro decor including lava lamps and a portable CD player – and travel down the Southern California coastline of the US.

After a virtual greeting from Lillard on arrival, there will be an all-you-can-eat buffet with snacks and hot dogs.

You can also put your crime-solving skills to the test with mystery games galore and view late-night screenings of the film on a retro TV – with Scooby Snacks to munch on, such as popcorn.

There will also be an outdoor setup with enough lounge seating and hammock space to chill out in.

Lillard said: “I’ve been channeling Shaggy since the live-action adaptation in 2002, and he’s been a part of me ever since.

“I can’t wait to welcome guests into the world of the Mystery Inc. gang as their Airbnb Host and give them a summer vacation they’ll never forget…monsters not included!” 

The van will have room for two fans to stay, and can be booked on AirBnb – where there are 12,500 campers available around the globe.

Guests can request to book this stay beginning on June 16 at 6pm BST, and will be responsible for their own travel to and from Southern California. 

What’s more, it’s rather affordable – with the option to book three individual one-night stays on 24th, 25th and 26th June for just $20 (around £16) a night.

It comes as we revealed the most unusual stays on AirBnb – including a guitar-shaped house in South Korea and a yacht marooned on a desert island.

And these are the top 10 UK staycation destinations.
