You wouldn't normally expect an idyllic getaway in the heart of a murky, damp swamp — but a new destination accomodation themed around everyone's favourite ogre is definitely the exception.
In a land Far, Far Away, enveloped in nature and sheltered from prying eyes lies in a faithfully recreated version of Shrek’s swamp, where you'll be able to stay and live your best ogre life. You’ll be able to wallow in filth and shout ‘get out of my swamp’ to your heart’s content, as a real-life version of Shrek’s home is now available on Airbnb.
To celebrate Halloween, Airbnb is giving ogre enthusiasts the exclusive chance to stay in a swamp up in the Scottish Highlands from October 27-29. The package (which is, by the way, completely free) includes an on-site concierge who will show you around and arrange your meals.
The toilet and shower facilities are a short walk away from the main house, but we reckon we can put up with that for the rare opportunity to walk in Shrek and Donkey’s footsteps. Here are a few pics of the place.
Pretty cool, eh? According to Airbnb, guests ‘can kick their hooves and feet up with a delicious parfait (everybody loves a parfait!), swap stories around the fire and enjoy a stack of Donkey’s famous freshly made waffles in the morning – without the torches and pitchforks!’.
If you want to immerse yourself in Shrek’s world, you can request to book the swamp here from October 13 at 6pm BST (or October 14 at 4am AEST). Note that this offer isn’t a competition, so travel to and from the accommodation won’t be covered.
