Sleep Under The Stars At The WACA With Mike Hussey As Your Host, For Free

The sun’s shining, the birds are chirping, and as summer rolls in there’s one thing on our minds: the return of cricket season (and, fine, maybe a little gelato). And this season, cricket’s returning in a seriously big way, as The Ashes test series returns to Perth for the first time since 2017. If that’s not a reason to don a KFC bucket, I don’t know what is. 

The Ashes opening match will land at Optus Stadium on Friday 21 November, but cricket fans have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get involved before then. To celebrate the start of Australia’s favourite summer pastime, Airbnb has teamed up with the WACA Ground and local legend Mike Hussey to deliver the ultimate fan experience, an exclusive one-night-only stay on the hallowed turf of one of the country’s most iconic sporting grounds.

Up to four lucky guests will be hosted by “Mr Cricket” himself, Mike Hussey, who’ll share stories from his career, play a game of backyard cricket, and host a movie night under the stars before guests tuck in for the night in a luxe custom glamping tent on the outfield. The experience also includes a private tour, dinner in the Bradman Room, and VIP tickets to Day 2 of the sold-out Perth Ashes Test.

The best part? It’ll cost you exactly $0 to book — yep, it’s free. You’ll just have to be lightning-fast when bookings go live here on Friday 7 November at midday (AEDT), with spots granted on a first-come, first-served basis.
