From just $140 a night, you and up to three others can spend the night under the stars and on the waves on this luxury catamaran. Overlooking the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Cockatoo Island and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the boat is docked in Woolwich Marina, close to restaurants and just a short walk to the city ferry.
For something completely different, you can’t look past this unique, eco-friendly floating home on the Murray River. “The Cube” is a cosy, rustic and relaxing option for anyone looking for a romantic getaway. Put on your walking shoes or hop in the two-person kayak and explore all the natural beauty this wonderful rural area has to offer.
