Airbnb offers night in cottage for Mardi Gras float

Social accommodation company Airbnb has further pushed the pink envelope, after it revealed its float in the Mardi Gras parade will be a house one couple can win a night’s stay in.

Already a major sponsor of the Mardi Gras festival, the company is now seeking to further capitalise on its sponsorship by making its float a brand activation in its own right with a house that comes with a glitter cannon for a chimney and neon lights.

The house will be at The Sydney Botanic Gardens for one night before making its appearance in the parade.
