Apparently, the villa used to be a members-only venue, costing around $3,600 a month (or $43,200 per year, if you’re really dedicated), but it has since then been opened to the public and is said to cost upwards of $1,000 for a couple per night. Besides the accommodations, this includes everything from private self-drive tender, champagne and tasting plate, dinner, breakfast, and full access to the on-board wine cellar, among other things already mentioned above.
Due to the pandemic, the Lilypad Villa is currently only accepting bookings for Sydney locals or those who can’t leave Sydney at the moment, inviting those who are looking for a safe getaway from the craziness of COVID-19.

This is by no means the only house that’s decided to learn to swim, as the Netherlands has seen a spike in interest in water-based housing due to much of the country living below the rising sea level. There was also the dRMM Waterhood proposal, a concept for London’s Royal Victoria Docks that would serve as a community of floating homes and office spaces.
