The space
Ever dreamed of waking up in a true Christmas wonderland? Myer is making that wish come true, listing their beloved Bourke Street store on Airbnb for a once in a lifetime overnight adventure for a family of four.
With Elves from Myer’s Santaland as your shopping chaperones, you’ll be treated to a curated schedule of yuletide activities across 9 levels of retail nirvana - plus a sizable store credit to spend along the way.
Myer’s exclusive styling suites will be transformed into a two bedroom family apartment with private kitchenette, ensuring you have all the creature comforts to get some R&R in between a jam packed schedule of shop-floor shenanigans.
The stay will kick off with an indulgent Christmas feast with all the trimmings where you’ll be breaking bon bons with Myer ambassador Kris Smith and sharing dad jokes over pudding and pavlova.
Next you’ll embark on a once in a lifetime after dark private tour of the Myer Christmas windows with the mastermind behind the annual display, Creative and Technical Director John Kerr. A 27-year Myer windows veteran, John will captivate with his tale of how this year’s windows almost didn’t happen and how he led a team to save the windows at the eleventh hour.
After a cosy night’s sleep, celebrity chef Khanh Ong will whip up a gourmet breakfast banquet before you’ll be tasked with opening the store’s doors to a frenzy of shoppers on the final day of Christmas trade.
The grand finale takes place in the toy department where the spirit of giving will be truly embraced during a charity ‘toy grab’. Myer Gifticians will set the clock for 5 minutes and every toy our guests are able to grab will be donated to the Salvation Army, to help spread some Christmas cheer to needy families.
All guests who book should ensure they adhere to the Victorian Government’s COVID-19 safety guidelines, including with regards to wearing masks and social distancing in a department store.
In line with Myer’s commitment to health and hygiene, the store will be cleaned frequently, hand sanitiser will be available at all times and physical distancing of 1.5 metres between customers and team members must be adhered to in accordance with signage across the store.
This private sleepover has been planned with safety front of mind, and guests can rest assured knowing that the store will be cleaned and prepared in accordance with local guidelines and consistent with Airbnb’s enhanced cleaning protocol.
