Mercedes-Benz will set up three Marco Polo Activity Vans on Sydney Harbour’s Cockatoo Island to launch its new five and seven-seater vans.
The vans can be booked for a night of ‘glamping’ on the island via Airbnb for $15.

The problem is, all the dates are “unavailable”, so these few spots must have been booked out ages ago. Why not make it a “lucky dip” and let everyone who requests a spot be in the draw. As it is you are directed to a Contact Host page where you write a few lines about why you want to come to Cockatoo Island. So far so good. Then it tells you the dates selected are not available.No dates in August are available.
Why have it on the page if it is booked out ( probably by savvy MB mates ). Bad taste , bad idea. Competition all good but this is just junk.
It was on a first come first serve basis, maybe read the article before lashing out.
Dates are only available over 3 nights, if you had tried booking on the 2nd of August when the competition started on the 1st at 12pm obviously you missed out.
Don’t be a sore loser.
As a Mercedes-Benz Marco Polo costs AU$ SEVENTY-FIVE GRAND (!) Winning the comp may be most people’s only chance of staying in one.
