Eden Park partners with Airbnb to launch stadium glamping

Eden Park has partnered with Airbnb to give sports fans two state-of-the-art glamping domes so they can experience Eden Park’s playing fields as “home”.

Available to be booked via Airbnb all year round - on both match days and non-match days – Eden Park’s new 'Staydium' Glamping initiative gives guests unprecedented access to the 116-year-old sports ground.

The custom-designed domes are located in a sheltered pocket in the stadium’s north-eastern corner. Beyond the floor-to-ceiling views of the hallowed turf, guests will enjoy a modern glamping experience that includes plush furnishings, high-tech appliances and an ensuite bathroom – all from behind a white picket fence.

As part each booking, guests will receive a welcome basket, an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of New Zealand’s national stadium and access to often sold-out matches.

Nick Sautner, Eden Park’s Chief Executive, notes the accommodation set-up is the first of its kind across stadia globally: “Eden Park is a strategic asset for New Zealand as well as a community asset for Auckland, and we look forward to providing unforgettable experiences around the clock with Staydium Glamping.”

Airbnb spokesperson Brent Thomas added: “Airbnb connects people with unique travel experiences so they can belong anywhere. We’re thrilled to team up with Eden Park to make this available to guests, giving visitors a chance to spend the night in this iconic national stadium steeped in so much sporting history.”

Both of Eden Park’s Staydium Glamping domes are now available on Airbnb.
