Igloos on the Pier 2019
Transparent 'igloos' are popping up at Pier One — and one of them has a hot tub.
Overview
Pier One's harbourfront igloos are back. And, once again, one of them has its very own hot tub. Yes, a hot tub. So if you've been hankering after wintry waterside drinks — but aren't quite willing to brave the cold — this should be a very viable option.
In case you're wondering, the igloos aren't made of snow and ice. They're transparent dome-shaped structures that you can hire for yourself and up to 15 mates, as long as you're willing to indulge in a few cocktails, glasses of Champagne and snacks from the Igloos on the Pier menu.
To hire out the hot tub igloo, which fits six, you have to spend $300 for 2.5 hours and pay a $200 hire fee (which will end up costing around $84 a head). The hire comes with fluffy robes, towels and a change room — and regular non-hot tub igloos are available too.
If you want to go all out, you can also book into one of Pier One's Dream Igloo Suites, a Harbour View room that has its own private igloo on the balcony. It'll set you back around $1500 for the night — depending on dates — and include a bottle of bubbles, a cheese and charcuterie board and views of the harbour.
Igloos on the Pier are available to book out at midday, 3.30pm and 7pm daily.
