Lilypad is among Sydney’s most exclusive and private boutique rentals with one night stay costing $1,450 per night
The luxury accommodation is 100 per cent solar powered and sleeps two guests in one of Sydney’s premier locations
It boasts a double bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, private boat for exploring the coastline, a wine cellar stocked with Veuve Clicquot Champagne and personal chef.
A night’s stay in the villa, which is 100 per cent solar-powered, starts from $1,450, with the price including other perks such as a private concierge, onboard breakfast items supplied by nearby restaurant Boat House Palm Beach and use of paddleboards, fishing rods and a floating day bed.
Those booking a two-night stay also receive a complimentary dinner for two at the ‘iconic’ Barrenjoey House, with a private boat transfer valued at $350.
Even though the villa is just metres from the shore, the owners of Lilypad say it ‘feels a million miles away’.
The villa is a regular haunt of celebrities, including former Bachelorette Georgia Love, who celebrated her engagement to husband Lee Elliott at the venue.
Lilypad only sleeps up to two guests, but the owners say it can be used as an ‘event venue to host friends, family or clients’ and can host up to 16 people.
It can also be booked as a day spa venue for up to six guests.
