I thought my experience staying in a chic, Scandi, minimalist apartment above an artisan bakery in Copenhagen with a lovely young couple and their baby was the greatest Airbnb experience one could hope for. But now I’m questioning everything I thought to be true when it comes to the perks of staying with the community-driven hospitality provider.
I have, essentially, been blown out of the water now that Airbnb has listed a floating bedroom on the Great Barrier Reef as part of their partnership with Disney Pixar on the Finding Dory promotional campaign, which yesterday inspired our environment minister Greg Hunt to enter into a feeble, one-sided Twitter feud with Ellen Degeneres after the latter appeared in a pro-conservationist video.
I digress.
This once-in-a-lifetime experience not only entails staying in the spectacular floating apartment, but also having Australia’s most-highly respected chef with a ponytail, Neil Perry, on hand to prepare you meals made from sustainably-sourced local seafood and produce. Your host for the evening, Pascal, will also accompany you and three other guests on a private tour of the reef, accompanied by a marine biologist.
You can win a one-night-only stay for four guests flying in from anywhere in the world by visiting the listing site. All you need do is “tell [Airbnb] a little about yourself, and why you belong on the Great Barrier Reef.”
