Sleep on the WACA Ground
Ever dreamed of sleeping on sacred Aussie soil? Well, this might just bowl you over. To celebrate the first Test of the Ashes, cricket legend Mike Hussey (better known as Mr Cricket) is opening the gates of Perth’s iconic WACA Ground for one extremely lucky (and probably cricket-mad) Airbnb stay.
That’s right, instead of watching from the stands, you’ll be camped out on the pitch. Forget the five-star hotel; this is more like five stumps under the stars. Up to four guests get the honour of dozing off, where legends have dived, sledged, and sworn at umpires, and yes, it’s all free. Whaaat?
The experience includes a guided tour of the WACA and its museum, a backyard-style game with Hussey himself (start stretching now), a proper Aussie dinner, and a movie night on the field. Sunrise brings brekkie and another hit-out with Mike, just in case you fancy testing your cover drive before coffee.
To top it off, you’ll also score tickets to Day 2 of the sold-out Perth Ashes Test and your very own personalised pickets around the ground.
The catch? There isn’t one…except that you’ll need lightning-fast fingers when bookings open at midday (AEDT) on Friday 7 November. Travel’s on you, but bragging rights? Priceless.
The one-night stay can be booked for $0 AUD for up to four people from Friday 7 November at midday (AEDT) via airbnb.com/waca. Travel costs are not included and the stay is selected on a first come, first served basis.
