Think there’s nothing fun and different to do in Sydney this winter? Think again…
If there’s one thing that’s undeniably sought after in Sydney, it’s unique experiences that you can’t do anywhere else – especially in Melbourne. (That old rivalry rears its head again, eh?)
So when it came to our attention that Pier One Sydney Harbour (formerly the Sebel Pier One) in Walsh Bay was embracing winter with open arms, offering guests a truly unique experience, different to anything we’d seen or done before – we relished the opportunity to investigate.
What it has ingeniously dreamt up – and installed – is an igloo on its waterfront esplanade. A transparent, weather-proof structure decked out with heaters, chairs, furry throws and lighting.
From 7 th May to 29th August, a Cherry Blossom Wonderland Igloo – created in collaboration with content creator Tara Milk Tea – will be perched atop one of Pier One Sydney Harbour’s luxe balcony suites, the perfect spot to enjoy the best of Sydney in Winter with a stunning Harbour view.

The perfect place for a party
Truly one of the most exclusive spots in Sydney, Pier One’s back deck hosts an igloo structures that can fit 10 people comfortably inside.
With Luna Park lit up on the right and the stunning harbour right in front of you, it’s quite possibly one of the most dazzling spots to unwind with a drink. The floor-to-ceiling zipper of your private igloo means that you can have the space to yourselves.

You can have it catered, too
Pier One is a five-star hotel and so you can expect the igloo’s menu to be of a certain quality. As part of your booking, guests can enjoy delicious gourmet canapés, including ricotta-filled zucchini flowers, cod croquettes or Fraser Island spanner crab – or choose to upgrade your experience further with grazing boards or your own private chef BBQ menu!

You can turn it into the best kind of sleepover, ever
If you can’t bear the thought of retreating home after a night of igloo frivolity, you can always opt to stay the night, taking up the Igloo Suite Package. Originally made for VIVID timing, the deal is available for bookings until 29 August, and includes a private igloo on the balcony of your luxury suite and overnight accommodation in the suite (the igloo’s great, but let’s agree a bed in a five-star hotel wins every time, yeah?) You can also invite mates to join you in your igloo (maximum 10 people) until 9.30pm, and you’ll also get a magnum of G.H.Mumm Champagne to kick things off.
